Siding is an important part of the exterior of your home, as it protects your house from the elements. However, if the siding is damaged or rotten, it can let water, dirt, and other contaminants in and cause damage to the wood around it... The most common signs that your home's siding has been damaged are cracks and gaps. These are caused by water seeping in, which can lead to rot, mold, and mildew... Fortunately, these issues can be easily fixed with the right products. Siding patching compounds can repair a small hole or chip and make it look new. A flexible caulk, such as DAP Platinum Patch Advanced Exterior Filler, can be poured into the crack and spread with a putty knife to smooth it out. Once the compound dries, you can scrape away any excess to ensure it's level with the surface of the vinyl.
