Vinyl siding has a lot of benefits, but there are some potential vinyl siding problems to be aware of. Especially in areas that get a lot of sun, vinyl siding can show its age after a decade or so in the form of fading or warping. Additionally, if the installation wasn’t done quite right, you may notice loose nails or rust stains after several years.

Homeowners insurance may cover siding replacement if the damage is due to a covered event like storm damage. Siding that needs to be replaced due to age, neglect, or wear and tear is not generally covered by insurance, so expect to pay out of pocket. Check your policy for coverage details and what you need to make a claim.

Vinyl siding requires the cheapest upfront costs. The cost to install vinyl siding is $12,173 on average, with vinyl clapboard and vinyl dutch lap costing as low as $2 per square foot. While metal siding is more expensive from the get-go, it can ultimately save you money as its life span is typically over double that of vinyl siding.

It is possible to restore vinyl siding, as it’s known to fade in color with exposure to the elements. Worse, the fading isn’t always uniform around the house. Making a siding repair that’s 100% invisible is difficult, if not impossible. You can get close to perfect, but not always. 

However, if you have significant discoloration, wish to change the color of your house, or want to put off replacement for a year, you’re not entirely out of luck. You may be surprised to learn that you can paint your vinyl siding with good results, although not incredibly long-lasting.
