Why This Matters
Different weather conditions affect different siding materials in different ways.
What You Should Do
Sun/UV: Fades colors, cracks vinyl, degrades paint.
Rain/moisture: Causes rot, mold, degrades caulk.
Wind: Loosens panels, drives rain into gaps.
Freeze-thaw: Cracks materials, heat warps vinyl.
Hail: Dents metal, cracks vinyl, damages wood.
Salt air: Accelerates corrosion in coastal areas.
When to Call a Professional
Choose siding materials rated for your climate. A siding contractor can recommend climate-appropriate materials and installation techniques.
