Siding
Cracks, gaps, or damage in siding and trim can allow water to penetrate, leading to rot, mold, and structural damage. Damaged or improperly sealed siding and trim can provide entry points for insects and rodents.
Optimal
Siding and trim are clean, properly sealed, and in excellent condition. No cracks, warping, or signs of pests. All joints and seams are well-caulked.
Cautionary
Some minor cracks or warping. Slight discoloration or buildup of dirt/mildew. Caulking needs touch-ups in some areas.
Hazardous / Out of Range
Significant damage or missing pieces. Visible signs of pest infestation or water intrusion. Large gaps or failed caulking allowing water to penetrate.
