Maintaining the siding of your home isn’t nearly as exciting as, say, remodeling your kitchen or adding a second story addition, but it is an essential component that helps to ensure the durability of your home and protect your indoor air quality.
Bellingham gets roughly 35 inches of rain a year. That’s a lot of rain. And, as most homeowners in Bellingham know, rain is hard on the exterior of a home. Wind driven rain can get behind siding, causing mold and rot. In turn, this can lead to indoor air quality issues and impact the durability of a home. The best-case scenario is to catch water damage early and fix it quickly. That doesn’t always happen because water damage isn’t always immediately visible. Siding repair projects vary greatly in scope, from selectively replacing damaged siding or exterior trim to overhauling the whole exterior of the home (removing all of the siding, adding a weather resistive barrier and exterior insulation, and installing new siding).
