Found hidden damage under my vinyl siding today

I was swapping out some old vinyl siding at home and spotted rot behind it. The damage was pretty bad, so I paused to figure out my next move. What's your go-to method for dealing with hidden problems during siding installs?

Oh man, finding rot behind the siding is the worst. You tear into a project thinking it's straightforward, and then you open up a whole new problem. That "pretty bad" damage just means more work and money you didn't plan on. It totally kills your momentum. I feel for you.

Get why @karenmorgan is so frustrated. Finding rot behind siding turns a simple job into a nightmare (trust me, I've been there). You start with a small repair and end up with a huge mess. It drains your budget and your energy, making you want to give up. Always seems to happen when you least expect it too.

Damn, my buddy found rot last month and had to replace all the sheathing, lol.
