Vinyl siding will fade slowly over time but will likely be most noticeable starting 10–15 years after installation. This timeline varies based on factors such as the climate where you live. In areas with more extreme hot or cold conditions, vinyl is likely to fade more quickly.

Not only is vinyl siding recyclable, but it’s also reusable. If your siding is in good condition after removal, you can save money on new siding and have it reapplied. It’s recommended that you clean vinyl siding once a year, but you should give it an extra wash in between uses. If your siding is damaged, small holes and cracks can be fixed with a caulk gun. For extensive damages, it’s better to drop off your vinyl siding at your local recycling center.

Hail as small as 3/4 inch (about the size of a penny) can cause damage to your siding. When hail reaches 1 inch in size, you can expect to see more cracks, chips, and holes, and hail that’s 1 and 1/4 to 1 and 1/2 inches around will cause significant damage. If you see hail that’s 1 and 1/2 inches to 2 inches or more in size, the damage is likely to be extensive and possibly even dangerous.
