The siding and trim on your home’s exterior has more than a decorative function, it is what protects the inside of your home from nature’s elements. Siding comes in various materials including wood, MDF, MDO, aluminum, vinyl, cement, stucco, and brick.
If your siding and trim is made of wood or an engineered wood product it is susceptible to water damage if not protected with paint, caulk and flashing where necessary. Even materials like stucco and cement can be damaged by pests such as bees, rodents and birds like woodpeckers.
Painting your siding and trim within the lifespan of the previous paint application will ensure that any damage is limited and corrected before larger and more expensive repairs are required.
