Cedar Siding Replacement

If you put off your cedar siding replacement for too long, you run the risk of structural damage to your home. To keep your home and your family protected, don’t put off your replacement any longer than necessary.

Signs It’s Time to Schedule a Cedar Siding Replacement

Take a few moments to do a quick visual inspection of your home. If you notice any of the following signs, don’t wait to schedule your replacement project:

There’s visible damage to your siding: If you notice cracks and holes in your siding, or you see that it’s rotting, it’s a sign it needs to be replaced.
Your energy bills are higher: When your siding is no longer working properly, you might start to notice your energy bills increase as your HVAC system works harder to keep your home comfortable.
There’s damage inside your home: Do you see that your paint or wallpaper inside is peeling? It could be a sign that moisture is beneath your cedar siding, making its way into your home.

The Problem With Cedar Siding

Your first thought might be to remove your old cedar siding and install a new version in its place. However, for our Missouri climate, cedar siding isn’t the best replacement option. Here’s a closer look at some of the disadvantages of this siding material:

Lack of durability and longevity: Due to the porous nature of the material, cedar siding absorbs water, which leads to rot. As a result, it has a shorter average lifespan than many other siding materials.
Maintenance requirements: Over time, cedar siding tends to chip, fade, and peel, so it requires extra maintenance to keep it looking good. For example, if you decide to repaint your cedar siding, you’ll have to prime it first, which is a time-consuming extra step.
Lack of choices: While cedar siding is beautiful, it’s available in fewer design options compared to other siding materials. This makes it a less-than-ideal choice if you have a specific design idea in mind.

Better Replacement Options

So, when it’s time to schedule your cedar siding replacement, which material should you use? We have two alternatives that we think you’ll love: fiber cement siding and vinyl siding.
