How to Care for Your Siding This Fall

Siding maintenance is a year-round affair, but there are specific tasks you can carry out depending on the season. For fall, here are some siding maintenance tips.

Do an Inspection

Giving your siding a closer look is a great way to spot issues before they worsen and sometimes before they even develop. Make sure you go over every inch of your home’s cladding, looking for peeling paint, holes, gaps, cracks and signs of rot and mold or mildew growth. Don’t forget to closely inspect the caulking as well, located where your siding meets windows, doors and other penetrations. What you discover during your inspection will determine if you need repairs or are due for a replacement.

Clean It Up

While your siding can most definitely protect your home from the weather and other external threats, it is no match for dirt buildup. 

Fortunately, even when your siding has seen better days, it’ll likely mostly just need some warm, soapy water and a soft-bristled brush to get back to its former glory. For faster cleaning, you can also use a power washer – just make sure to start at a low setting to avoid denting your siding.

Reviews

We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.

Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
