LP Siding Replacement

LP Siding Replacement is one of the most common exterior siding products that needs to be replaced. LP also known as Louisiana Pacific engineered wood siding has a long history of rotting. As a local siding contractor, we have worked on many homes with LP siding that has multiple areas of rot not only on the siding but on the subwall as well. LP Siding can easily allow water intrusion creating rot from behind the siding. Cracked caulking, Over Driven Nails and unsealed field joints can all allow water behind the siding. Also lack of Z metal window and door flashing can allow water to channel in to the interior.

Many homeowners replace their LP siding with James Hardie Plank Siding or Vinyl Siding. Cedar Siding is also another option but very expensive. James Hardie Plank Fiber Cement Siding is now the leading siding exterior system in the industry. Fiber Cement siding cannot rot and is a low maintenance siding. James Hardie Plank Siding comes with a 30 year non pro-rated warranty that is transferable to the next homeowner.

If you are looking to replace your rotting LP Lap Siding or LP T1-11 Panel Siding, Contact Elite Home Exteriors NW today for a free quote and inspection. With Elite as your Preferred Siding Contractor you will not only get the manufacturers warranty, but Elite’s Lifetime Warranty for as long as you own the home.

CertainTeed Weatherboard Siding Failure

CertainTeed Weatherboard Siding is a fiber cement siding to compete with James Hardie Plank Siding. James Hardie Plank Siding has been around since 1888 and introduced to North American in the 1990s. During the 1990s here in the Northwest, Vinyl Siding and LP Wood Siding was the most popular exterior product. Once James Hardie proved their product durability in the early 2000’s, James Hardie is the number one investment for exterior remodel. CertainTeed has been around since 1904. September 1, 2010, CertainTeed went into a class action lawsuit due to product failure. CertainTeed Weatherboard failure is known to shrinking, cracking and warping. Many homeowners are investing in siding replacement with James Hardie Plank. James Hardie products have never had issues like CertainTeed weatherboard which is why Hardie is the number one siding investment.

Do You Need Roof Repair or a Roof Replacement?

How Do You Know When You Need a New Roof Installed?

Many Vancouver homeowners only realize there’s a big problem with their roof when they notice water leaking into their house from the ceiling or can see physical damage from the outside of the house. Skip the water damage and know what to look out for with an aging roof with this article from your favorite contractor: Elite Home Exteriors NW.

How Long Do Roofs Last?

A roof’s lifespan depends on its material and its installation. If you had professional roofing contractors install a typical asphalt shingle roof, it’ll likely last 20 years. Metal roofs typically last 50 years while slate roofs can last over a century. When you want a high-quality and durable roof, you should call the roofing contractors here at Precision Roofing and Gutters.

Does Replacing Your Roof Increase Your Property Value?

According to the 2019 Remodeling Impact Survey, replacing your home’s roof yields a recovery of 107% of the costs of the project when it comes time to sell. In addition to that, 33% of the realtors surveyed revealed that a new roof helped close a deal. If you are thinking about selling your home after replacing the roof, consult with a real estate expert to find out which repairs and home improvement projects should be a priority.

Warning Signs It’s Time for Roof Replacement

If you notice any of the following symptoms of an aging roof, it’s best to call a local roofing contractor for a roofing estimate and an inspection of your roofing system.

Multiple Damaged Shingles

The experienced contractors at Elite Home Exteriors NW can help you determine whether you need roof repair services or a total roof replacement. Call today for an estimate!

One of the warning signs to look out for when it comes to your roof has to do with your asphalt shingles. If your shingles are cupped or curling or showing signs of significant water damage, it may be time for a roofing project. Call your local roofing contractor at Elite Home Exteriors NW to inquire about roof repair services.

Your Roof Experienced Y2K

As we mentioned earlier in this article, asphalt shingle roofs last about twenty years. It’s a good idea to replace your roof after a couple of decades to avoid any water damage inside your home or roofing system.

Leaks from the Attic

If you notice water coming into your attic, it may be time for a roof replacement. Make sure to check the attic after any extreme weather to ensure that you don’t have any leaks in your roofing system.

Blistering or Peeling Paint

If you notice that the paint on your siding blisters or peels, especially after extreme weather, it may be time for a roof replacement. Poor ventilation within your roofing system can result in trapped moisture which causes paint to peel and blister.

Ceiling and Wall Stains

Don’t ignore any ceiling or wall stains as they could be due to a roof in need of repair. Leaks from outside of the house or moisture trapped inside the house can lead to stains or mildew growth inside. Ceiling and wall stains can indicate water damage and a damaged roof.

Roof Sheathing Decay

If your roofing system has poor ventilation that traps moisture in your roofing materials can lead to the decay of the sheathing (also called the decking). The sheathing is the layer of plywood that forms the roof’s foundation. If your ceiling is sagging or you have broken gutters, your roof sheathing may be damaged and in need of inspection by your local roofing contractor.

Dark Streaks on the Roof

If you notice dark streaks on your roof’s shingles, that may not indicate it’s time for a roof replacement, but you may need to replace individual shingles due to algae growth. Either way, you should call a roofer to inspect your roofing system.

How to Visually Inspect Your Roof

We do not recommend ever getting up on your roof alone. These tips are for homeowners who want to inspect their roof safely from the ground.

INSIDE YOUR HOME

The first step to making sure that your roofing system isn’t in need of repair or replacement is to check the interior of your home for signs of roof damage. Check for the following:

Leaks in the attic
Stains on the ceilings or walls
Mildew Growth

OUTSIDE YOUR HOME

Next, go outside and check the following from the street:

Look for cracked, torn, warped, or missing shingles
Look for open seams or joints
Look for sagging
Look for exposed nails
Make sure penetrations (such as chimneys) are sealed
Look for damaged flashing

Affordable Siding Contractors Near Me

Affordable Siding Contractors can be hard to come by. The biggest question is “What is affordable to me”. Many homeowners think they can get their siding replaced for $5,000 but thats far off from the average size home. With Siding contractors you will get pricing low, middle, high and extremely high. Siding can range from contractor to contractor. The key is not going with the most expensive and definitely not going with the cheapest siding contractor. There have been many times where I was not chosen and instead that homeowner went with the cheapest company. Come to find out they were sold builder grade siding with a terrible warranty and the cheapest products that rot quickly. They also did not get a warranty from that contractor. That homeowner will soon have to replace their siding. Elite Home Exteriors NW recommends getting multiple quotes (2-3), ask as many questions as you can, do you research on product and installation practices.

Here in the northwest the most common siding exterior products are Fiber Cement James Hardie and Vinyl Siding. both are a great option to invest in and both products will never rot unlike LP which rots very easily.

Most homeowners do not paint ever 5-7 years on the LP and allows water to slowly rot away from the inside out. We have seen homes with full walls of dry rot under LP on the subwall sheathing as well as walls with bad rotting LP and no rot on the subwall. There is no way to tell until we tear all of the LP Wood Siding off and WeatherBarrier (Vapor Barrier).
