Types of Siding Replacement Services
Asbestos Siding Replacement
Is your building suffering from asbestos? It’s best to get that taken care of as soon as possible. Asbestos siding is brittle and easily cracked. When this occurs, the siding releases dangerous, cancer-causing fibers. Our team is equipped to safely remove asbestos siding and replace it with siding that is safe for you and your family.
Replacing Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is one of the most popular choices for its affordability, weather resistance, and variety of color options. While vinyl siding can easily last 30–40 years, it may be time for a total siding replacement if you’re experiencing cracking, rotting, or gaps.
If you’re concerned about your vinyl siding, our team will come out to determine if a total replacement is recommended. We can replace your siding with brand new vinyl, or if you’d prefer a different look, we can install one of our other high-quality options, like polymer shake and shingle.
Replacing Aluminum Siding
Aluminum siding is affordable and durable, often retaining its luster for up to 10 years. Aluminum can be dented fairly easily, however; if debris from a storm makes contact with your siding, you may find significant damage and cracks upon later inspection.
If you want to stick with your current siding but need to revamp your property, Legacy offers aluminum siding replacement. If you’re seeking a more durable material, we are happy to point you in the right direction of a tougher siding option that will last a lifetime.
Masonite Siding Replacement
Masonite siding, also referred to as hardboard siding, is an affordable siding often found on older homes and buildings. Because it is made of wood fibers, glue, and resin, masonite siding is extremely prone to buckling, swelling, and rotting when it gets wet.
We recommend replacing masonite siding with a more weather-resistant option that will prove to be a better long-term investment, like vinyl, which is affordable and durable. Aluminum siding is another great option for its affordability and resistance to mildew, rust, and fire.
Replacing Wood Siding
If you enjoy a rustic look, you may have purchased a home with wood siding or had it installed in the past. However, wood siding is not as cost effective or durable as you may have hoped. Wood siding requires significant maintenance and sealing to prevent water damage and insect infestations.
To best protect your home and investment, Legacy offers siding options that supply a similar style to wood without the tedious, expensive upkeep. Polymer shakes and shingles siding combines a rustic appearance with weather-resistant strength that will last for 50+ years.
When to Replace Siding
The lifetime of siding depends on the type of material on your property, as well as the age of the siding. When purchasing a home or commercial building, inquire about when the siding was last replaced, so you are prepared to repair or replace existing material as needed.
Signs You Need Siding Replacement
There are some telltale signs that your siding is in need of replacement, including:
- Cracking and warping: You would think that cracked or warped siding would be obvious, but some smaller cracks may be less noticeable. If the siding is easily pushed in when you touch it, give us a call. Small cracks can allow rot to form, which can be detrimental to your building’s foundation.
- Higher energy bill: If you’ve noticed an usually high energy bill, there’s a definite chance your siding isn’t doing its job. New, professionally installed siding acts as a protective barrier between your building and the outside world. Gaps or cracks can allow heat or air to escape, leading to abnormally high bills.
- Moisture and mildew: If a section of your home or building is unusually damp or visibly growing mildew, it is time to get your siding replaced. This sort of damage is pesky and can become dangerous to building inhabitants if not swiftly handled.
Should I Paint or Replace Vinyl Siding?
If your siding is not causing issues that undermine the integrity of your home or building, but rather is looking dull and discolored, a simple paint job can help to bring your siding back to life. We are happy to help you determine if your siding requires repair or replacement.
Cost to Replace Siding
The cost of new siding is dependent on the type of siding you choose, but in 2022, the average price of siding is around $7.50 per square foot. However, it can range from $3–$12 per square foot. You will need a quote to know for sure how much your siding will be. We offer free estimates so you understand what your new siding will cost.
How to Get Siding Replaced by Insurance
While each insurance policy is different, some common scenarios in which insurance might cover siding replacement include:
- Damage from extreme weather events
- Vandalism
- Fire and smoke-related incidents
- Damage from auto accidents
We recommend speaking with your insurance company to be certain whether or not your policy covers your specific situation. Generally, normal wear and tear is not covered.
