Siding Maintenance Tips for Springtime

Your siding is one of the most critical elements of your exterior. It protects the inside of your home from cold, heat, moisture, and pests. Taking care of your siding properly will help ensure its longevity and keep it looking beautiful over the years. Here are some helpful siding maintenance tips for springtime in Denver:

  1. Remove dead leaves and trim back foliage – Dead leaves and overgrown bushes and foliage can stain your siding and expose it to moisture. As soon as the snow melts, make sure to remove dead leaves and debris around your exterior to prevent it from damaging your siding.
  2. Wash off the dirt and grime – Now is a good time to wash off the muck and grime that has accumulated on your siding over the course of the winter. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your siding. Some types of siding can be pressure washed, but others require more gentle care and cleaning.
  3. Caulk and repair as needed – While the weather is pleasant, take the opportunity to conduct a quick check of your exterior. Notice any cracks, gaps, or areas that need repair? Now is a good time to fix them and seal them up!
