Believe it or not, we are less than a month away from Spring commencing. When the calendar flips to a new season in Northeast states, exterior siding maintenance should always be near the top of our minds. While providing winter maintenance can be tough due to the harsh conditions, the spring offers plenty of warm weather to make maintenance easier on everyone. If you are a homeowner in the Northeast, there is a good chance the siding of your home needs maintenance this time of year. Here are some tips you should follow for quality siding maintenance.
Clean, Clean, Clean
Over a long New England winter, it is not uncommon for a home’s siding to accumulate dirt. Fortunately, it does not take a lot to clean off the siding. In most cases, homeowners can just use dish soap detergent and a hose to get the job done. It is essential to be mindful when using a hose on your siding however, as you never want to apply excessive pressure to the point water goes through your siding and you have to deal to water damage.
Examine The Entire Siding
It is very possible, if not likely, your siding has cracks. Whether big or small, cracks on your home’s siding can become a bigger problem if left unaddressed. Small cracks can be dealt with using caulk sealants but if you believe your cracks are large, it may be best to get a professional involved.
Consider A Paint Job
Siding colors can fade over time, especially in New England states. If you have experience painting homes, a paint job may be just what your siding needs this spring. Painting can ruin a home if not done properly so if you cannot paint your siding accordingly, do not feel shame in having someone with experience do it!
