It’s worth noting that most siding in South Carolina rarely experiences peeling. However, if any part of your siding peels, it can result in severe and costly damage if not appropriately addressed. In many newly built homes, a thin layer of paint is applied initially. After about 7-10 years, the underside of the siding is typically the most affected area, especially on the North side of the house, where sunlight is scarce, leading to moisture accumulation for more extended periods. This moisture slowly wears away the paint coat, and each rain or snowfall causes further damage.
The lower siding boards are most affected by this compared to the ones on the second floor. In these cases, the board’s underside becomes exposed, which can lead to swelling and necessitate replacement, which can be quite expensive.
We recommend sanding off any peeling paint and priming the affected areas to seal the boards before applying a fresh coat. Proper treatment ensures durability, extending the lifespan of your siding for a more extended period, typically 5-7 years. In contracts, low-quality jobs can only last up to 2-4 years, and you’ll have to invest in a new paint job sooner rather than later.
