5 Signs Your Home Needs New Siding (Florida Edition)
Published on January 15, 2025 | By EMJ Siding & Service Inc

Florida's sun and humidity are tough on siding. If you notice cracks, warping, mold, or peeling paint, it's time for an inspection.
Our team specializes in Hardie siding, built to withstand Florida's heat and rain. Here are the 5 key signs your home needs new siding:
1. Visible Cracks or Warping
If your siding shows cracks, bulges, or warping, moisture may be seeping behind it, causing structural damage.
2. Mold, Mildew, or Rot
Dark spots or soft areas indicate water damage. In Florida's humid climate, this can spread quickly if not addressed.
3. Peeling Paint or Fading Color
Constant exposure to Florida's sun can cause paint to peel and colors to fade, signaling that your siding is losing its protective coating.
4. Rising Energy Bills
If your AC is working overtime, your siding may no longer be insulating properly. Upgrading can reduce energy costs significantly.
5. Siding is Over 20 Years Old
Even well-maintained siding degrades over time. If yours is approaching or past 20 years, it's time to consider replacement.
Expert Tip:
Upgrading your siding can reduce energy bills and raise property value by up to 15%. Our Hardie siding installations come with warranties and are designed specifically for Florida's climate.
