Siding is material used to weatherproof your house. While the foundation is the base of a home, siding ranks high in a structure's importance. Aside from it being the first thing passersby see, crumbling siding could compromise your home's integrity. If you notice holes or cracks in your siding, don't delay. Even small breaks can let moisture or pests inside and ruin your house from the inside out. Leon's Building Center has partnered with multiple vendors to help you get the perfect siding for your home. Learn more about what to consider if your home needs a siding replacement.

Deciding on Material

​Is your house wood-sided or panelized? This will determine what steps to take when replacing siding. Often times, wood-sided homes will need total replacement if the wood is warped or rotted. Replacing panelized siding can be more costly upfront, but lasts longer against harsh elements. Not sure what material you want? Our vendors have options that work for every home and budget.

Regular Maintenance

Maintenance for home siding varies based on materials. When considering siding, think about how much time you're willing to put in for upkeep. Some materials deliver strong performances with little servicing while others, like wood, require regular maintenance.
​

Resale Value

While no one is particularly eager to pay for large repairs, it's beneficial to have strong 'bones' when putting a home on the market. Real-estate agents and buyers alike are aware of the value of strong home siding.

Replacing Soffits

Normally, your roof goes past the walls of your home, commonly known as eaves. Soffits are the finishing material underneath the eaves and should be considered when re-siding your home. Soffits help give your home proper ventilation. Without a properly installed soffit, you could face humidity buildup, causing mold, mildew, or rot.
