Vinyl Siding Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

If you’re looking to simulate the look of real wood without paying the cost or worrying about the effects of precipitation, choose vinyl siding! Protect your home from inclement weather with this polymer-based material, which never needs to be painted.

Although vinyl siding is resistant to moisture, rot and is basically maintenance-free, it does require some level of care. Consider these tips to maintain the beauty of your vinyl siding.

Professional Installation

Do you live in an area that is prone to hurricanes or tornadoes? Especially in this case, it’s essential that your vinyl siding is firmly attached to the house. The last thing any homeowners wants is to find the siding pulling away after a storm.

At Steve Czerwinski Inc., we have the skills and professional experience to securely install your vinyl siding and stylish trim-work.

Prevent Cracks

Is your property surrounded by forestry? Trees and other shrubbery that hang over or touch the house can cause damage to your vinyl siding in the event of high winds or violent storm. Make sure you cut down protruding branches and trim back shrubs that could come in contact with your home and puncture your vinyl siding.

Scrub the Surface

If you are inexperienced with power washing, it is not recommended you try it on your vinyl siding. Too much pressure can damage the material, but a professional can apply low pressure and use the right detergents. Otherwise, you can take a sponge and mild soap to the surface, scrubbing away any stuck-on dirt. Rinse with a standard garden hose and you should be set for about a year!
