Delaware Roofing Info & Tips

Exterior vinyl siding is a fragile material; when exposed to high temperatures it can melt or freeze and become brittle in cold weather.  The warping or cracking of vinyl siding will then result, and you’re in a position where you’ll need replacement vinyl siding.

The easiest (or possibly hardest part) of the exterior vinyl siding replacement process might just be matching the existing color. If your exterior vinyl siding is old, a color not typically found in stores, or has been discontinued, you may have trouble finding a matching replacement.  If you’re lucky enough to have vinyl siding left over from the first installment, then you’re in luck.  If not, many contractors or stores may require you to bring in a sample before selling you a match.

Replacing vinyl siding can be a tricky assignment.  The number one error made when replacing vinyl siding is driving nails too tightly against the vinyl siding during installation. As your exterior vinyl siding experiences different temperatures changes due to change of seasons, they need space to adjust and move.  If they’re hammered in too tightly, they’ll break and buckle.  It’s best to allow for a slight gap between the nail head and the vinyl siding—approximately the size of a dime will do just fine.

Avoid all these complications!  Let Delaware roofing and siding experts replace your vinyl siding to avoid installation errors and match your vinyl siding replacement color exactly.
