Robert,

*I* would be more concerned about 'the wall' instead of 'the siding'.

'The siding' would be relatively inexpensive to replace should you ever need to, but 'the wall' behind the siding ...

I think you need to make your statement more all inclusive to include 'the wall' behind the siding - to include 'everything possible' you can.
