Vinyl and aluminum siding require minimal maintenance: annual washing with mild detergent, inspecting for damage after storms, clearing debris from seams, and ensuring proper drainage. Cedar siding needs more attention: cleaning annually, repainting or restaining every 3-5 years, inspecting for rot or insect damage, and treating with preservatives. All siding benefits from trimmed vegetation, clean gutters, and prompt repair of any damage. We provide specific maintenance guidelines based on your Cumberland home's siding type.
