What happens if I don’t fix damaged siding?

• <div><p>Siding is one of your home’s first lines of defense against extreme weather.

Q: What is the life span of composite siding?

• <div><p>Composite siding, with proper care, can last 30 years and sometimes more. Because its color has a tendency to fade, you might want to re-paint it every five years or so.

Q: Can I install or repair siding myself, or is it better to hire a professional?
