Siding Problems We See Most in Westerly
Westerly walls take the hardest exposure in the state. Open ocean wind arrives with nothing slowing it, and it carries salt and sand that abrade a finish over time.
Salt spray does not stop at the first row of houses. It settles on walls well inland, holds moisture against the surface, and corrodes every fastener and trim nail it reaches.
Seasonal vacancy is the multiplier. A joint that opens in November on a closed Westerly house lets water in all winter, and nobody sees it until the house opens in spring.
