        "text": "After siding replacement, maintaining your home's exterior is crucial for preventing future rot. Regularly inspect and clean gutters to ensure proper water diversion away from the siding. Check and caulk any gaps or cracks around windows, doors, and trim. Ensure landscaping is trimmed back so plants are not in direct contact with the siding, which can trap moisture. Proper ventilation in attics and crawl spaces also helps regulate humidity levels, protecting your siding.",
