At STX Roofing & Construction we believe the exterior of your home is extremely important. Not only is it one of the first things people notice about your home, it is also one of the first lines of defense against the ever changing weather experience here in Texas. Aging siding not only becomes an eyesore, but it begins to allow the elements to slowly make their way into the depths of your home. The good news is that replacing your siding allows you to increase curb appeal, increase energy efficiency, and repair any hidden structural damage.

As siding ages, it also often fades to a less vibrant color than it originally was, and begins to retain a generally dirty appearance that is very difficult to keep clean. This doesn’t necessarily indicate that it was neglected, but is something that naturally happens to all homes. New siding comes in a variety of colors, profiles, and textures. This means that when replacing your siding, it is a great time to change the color and add some architectural details to your home!

Aging siding can often allow rainwater to leak around windows of your home, potentially causing structural damage to your home. Sometimes the signs of this damage become easily noticeable, possibly even seeing actual water along the sill (bottom) of the window. Unfortunately, sometimes the structural damage isn’t so obvious, instead it may slowly show up as a crack in the drywall or almost unnoticeable without removing the siding or drywall to find the damage. When replacing your siding, often we can repair any structural damage from the outside without disturbing the interior of your home.
