Is It Time to Repair or Replace Your Siding? Here’s What You Need to Know

March 17, 2025•2 min read

Your home’s siding plays a crucial role in protecting it from the elements while also enhancing

its curb appeal. Over time, weather, age, and wear and tear can take a toll on your siding, leading

to cracks, fading, or even structural damage. At Knockout Exteriors, we specialize in siding

repairs and replacements to keep your home looking great and protected year-round. If you’re

wondering whether it’s time for new siding, here are some key signs to watch for.

Signs Your Siding Needs Repair or Replacement

✅ Cracks, Holes, or Warping

If you notice cracks or holes in your siding, moisture can seep in, leading to mold and structural

damage. Warped or buckled siding panels are also a sign that repairs—or a full

replacement—may be necessary.

✅ Peeling Paint or Fading Color

Siding that’s peeling or severely faded may no longer be offering adequate protection. If your

home requires frequent painting, it might be time to invest in low-maintenance, long-lasting new

siding.

✅ Higher Energy Bills

If your heating and cooling costs are rising, your siding could be to blame. Damaged or outdated

siding can allow air to escape, forcing your HVAC system to work harder. Upgrading to

insulated siding can improve energy efficiency.

✅ Mold, Mildew, or Rot

Moisture trapped behind your siding can lead to mold growth or wood rot, which can weaken

your home’s structure. If you see signs of mold or water stains inside or outside your home, it’s

time for an inspection.

✅ Storm or Hail Damage

Kentucky’s unpredictable weather can leave siding dented, cracked, or even missing after a

severe storm. If your home has been affected by storm damage, we work with all insurance

companies to help you with your claim.
