Your Siding Is Talking to You — Here’s What It’s Saying
Five warning signs Westchester and Orange County homeowners shouldn't ignore this spring
Spring in Westchester and Orange County is beautiful — the dogwoods are blooming, the neighbors are out walking their dogs, and your home's exterior has just survived another brutal Hudson Valley winter. But before you move on to backyard barbecues and summer plans, it's worth taking a slow walk around your house and listening to what your siding is trying to tell you.
Siding isn't just decorative. It's the first line of defense between your home's structure and everything nature throws at it — ice, rain, UV rays, and those infamous nor'easters that come howling down from the Catskills. When it starts to fail, it rarely fails dramatically. It whispers first.
Here are five signs your siding is whispering — and why you shouldn't wait for it to start shouting.
If you're seeing one or more of these signs, don't panic — but don't put it off either. Spring is the best time to address siding issues: the temperatures are mild for installation, and you'll have your home fully protected before the summer thunderstorm season hits Westchester and Orange County.
