Should I call a siding pro?

Answer 4 quick questions. Nothing is saved or sent.

Is any siding cracked, warped, loose or missing?Do any boards or trim feel soft or crumbly when you press them?Do you see gaps where siding meets corners, windows or doors?Any stains or bubbling paint on an inside wall below an outside problem spot?

Our suggestion

Keep an eye on it

Walk around the house after the next heavy rain or storm. Cracks, gaps and stains are the first signs of trouble.

What the questions mean

Damaged or missing pieces are the most visible sign that something needs a repair.
Soft or crumbly spots are the most urgent answer here, because they can mean water has been getting in for a while.
Gaps at corners and openings are small now and easy to ignore, but they are common entry points for water.
Stains inside are a reason to have the outside wall looked at, not just the inside paint.
