Here are five ways that Spring and Winter's weather damage your siding. If you're a homeowner in West Michigan, be aware of how harsh those seasons are on your exterior and inspect it. Instead of allowing the damage to accumulate, hire Town Corners Exteriors for inspection, repairs, and replacement.

The Cons of Winter and Spring

With Winter comes strong wind, icicles, snow, hail, and cold temperatures — all villains to your siding. Additionally, Spring brings rain, melting snow, storms, and mold to your home. Often, houses can't withstand these elements completely.

The Five Dangers to Your Siding

Various weather elements can injure your siding in many ways:

1. Spring and Winter storms carry winds that are so powerful they can tear the panels off of your house. Also, debris can fly into the walls, denting or puncturing the siding.

2. When large icicles fall off the roof, they can crack the siding.

3. Hail chips siding and puts circular and oval dents in it.

4. Freezing weather tends to make vinyl brittle, and temperature fluctuations can cause cracks in your siding to expand.

5. Melting snow and rain bring dangerous moisture levels to your exterior walls.

   • Dampness can warp the boards.

   • If there are cracks in the siding, moisture causes leaks.

   • Leaky seals and wet boards grow mold and rot behind the siding.
