For siding maintenance:
- Clean vinyl siding with a soft brush and mild detergent annually.
- Inspect for cracks or damage regularly.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or power washers at high pressure.
Vinyl siding can last 20-40 years with proper maintenance, making it a long-lasting and cost-effective option.
In most cases, old siding should be removed before new siding is installed to ensure a proper fit and avoid underlying issues. However, in certain cases, new siding can be installed over the old material.
Poor installation can lead to:
- Moisture damage
- Warping or buckling
- Reduced energy efficiency
- Shortened siding lifespan
That’s why it’s crucial to hire experienced professionals like 757 Exteriors Roofing and Siding.
To clean vinyl siding:
- Use a soft cloth or brush with a mild cleaning solution.
- Rinse with a garden hose.

Vinyl siding is the best maintenance-free option. It requires minimal cleaning and is resistant to rot, pests, and fading.
Siding should be inspected annually or after major storms to catch any issues early and extend its lifespan.
