Replace siding when problems are spread across several walls: cracked or missing boards, swelling or soft spots, rot near the ground or under windows, paint that keeps peeling in the same places, bubbles or mold, or hail damage over most of the house. Damage on one wall or a few boards is usually a repair.
Many “siding” failures start at trim and flashing: a rotted window sill, failed caulk, or a roof-to-wall joint without a kickout flashing sends water behind the boards. Press a screwdriver into corner boards and sills; soft wood means water is getting in.
If the damage is limited to one wall or a few boards, a repair is usually enough. If problems are spread around the house, replacement often costs less over time. See repair or replace Hardie siding and our siding repair page.
Look for damage on several walls: cracked or soft boards, rot near the ground or windows, repeated peeling paint and gaps at trim. Damage in one area is usually a repair.
Yes. Rot in the sheathing behind the siding often only shows once boards come off.
