Walk the exterior periodically
Look from multiple angles and pay special attention to areas around windows, doors, roof-wall intersections, decks, utility penetrations, and lower wall sections. Compare what you see with prior seasons if possible.
Keep water pathways clear
Gutters, downspouts, roof drainage, and site water can affect exterior walls. Siding is not a substitute for controlling bulk water around the building. If you notice recurring wet areas, investigate the source.
Clean according to the material
Cleaning methods vary. Avoid assuming that the most aggressive washing method is appropriate for every siding material or finish. Follow the guidance that applies to the installed product.
Know when maintenance becomes repair
Loose, cracked, deteriorated, or repeatedly wet siding may need more than cleaning. Read siding repair or call 978-501-8158 if you want to discuss a problem on an Andover home.
