The Costly Error in Putting Off Siding Replacement in the Lower Mainland

As a siding removal and replacement company, Kallio Restoration has been helping strata properties manage the quality and safety of their exterior space for nearly 2-decades.

Because siding is the first line of defence against the wet weather here in the Lower Mainland, it is an imperative part of a building’s envelope. Not only does siding protect a structure from the elements, but it also helps to manage energy costs, curbside appeal and overall value.

Avoiding maintaining structural siding will lead to replacement needs. And avoiding replacement needs can come at the cost of exterior and interior structural repair requirements. All of which Kallio Restoration is here to help mitigate or address as needed.

When Does Siding Need to Be Replaced?

General wear and tear can be enough of a reason for many strata properties to replace their siding. But additional pressing reasons include – water damage, fire damage, mold or rot.

Avoiding exterior maintenance and repairs can end up causing the interior of homes to start deteriorating as well. Especially if moisture has gone beyond wearing away the siding and has infiltrated the structural material past the siding barrier.

Either way, every strata property should have their siding investigated and remedied as soon as possible to avoid interior rot repair.
