Siding Problems We See Most in Cranston
Cranston still carries a lot of original aluminum siding from the 1960s and 1970s. It dents, it oxidizes, and it leaves a chalky residue on your hand when you touch it.
The first generation of vinyl that replaced it is now aging out too. Early panels were thin, they fade unevenly, and they crack instead of flexing when something hits them in the cold.
On the eastern side of the city, closer to the bay, wind driven rain finds any open joint. Water behind a Cranston wall shows up later as bubbling paint on the inside.
