First things first, how often should you renovate your facade?

The period between each renovation largely depends on the material you opted for in the first place and the weather conditions of your region, as well as other external factors. However, according to some experts, facade repairs should be carried out once every 10 years. The lifespan of your facade is also impacted by the way you care for it. Regular inspection of your facade will help detect potential issues that minor maintenance could solve.

Your sidings may still be in good condition, however you may decide to improve the thermal performances of your house by adding insulation.
