"The siding absorbs water on exposed faces, causing it to swell, buckle and discolor. In extreme cases -- which are as easy to find as walking across the street -- the siding simply rots right off the house."
--"Closing Costs" by Brad Tyer, The Houston Press

The following are pictures of my 10 year old home. The siding is believed to be Masonite/ABTCO combination. The house has been painted twice. Every board is damaged. Swelling around the nail holes, coming apart, mold growth in the cracks at the drip edge.

See the nail holes?


Mold. Swelling at the edge.
