Siding can provide your home with several benefits, from home protection and comfort to increasing the value of your home and enhancing curbside appeal. It can give your home a whole new look, boosting its aesthetics. Over time, homeowners have to replace their siding, or you may simply want to add it to your newly constructed home and this requires some thought. How do you go about choosing your siding? Which is the ideal choice for your specific home.
Vinyl Siding
This siding is a homeowner’s favorite, thanks to its advantages- low cost, highly durable, limited upkeep, and availability in a variety of colors and shades. Vinyl no longer has a fake, plastic look; instead, with technological advancement, you can achieve your vision for your home with your desired vinyl style. Another plus is that vinyl offers easy installation and a warranty is generally available. Vinyl siding is damage resistant and will last for several years. We offer CertainTeed® Vinyl Siding.
Wood Siding
Popular wood sidings include pine and cedar, and this siding option is gaining popularity perhaps because of the uniqueness of the wood’s appearance. It creates a natural look that is inviting and warm, but it also provides a level of protection because of its durability. Modern engineered wood is even more impressive. You can find wood siding in a variety of colors. Over its lifespan, your wood siding will need to be repainted or restrained and care will have to be given to prevent rot, cracking, and insect damage.
Metal Siding
Metal siding comes in a variety of colors and styles but give industrial vibes. Metal siding is known for its durability and its ability to withstand any weather condition, from high winds to snowstorms. Corrosion, cracks, and warping don’t plague metal siding. It requires minimal maintenance since it doesn’t readily accumulate grime and dirt and it’s not easily damaged. The longevity of metal siding – 50 years or more – is appealing. We offer DrexelMetals metal roof.
Fiber-Cement
James Hardie® Fiber-cement is an economical option and the best bet for someone with budget constraints. It’s a versatile option that can be designed to resemble wood, stucco, or brick. Installation is typically not costly, and fiber cement siding requires little upkeep. It’s moisture-prone but it’s an issue that develops over time, but with proper installation, it won’t have issues at all. Fiber-cement siding can last up to 50 years, depending on upkeep.
Stucco Siding
Stucco siding is made up of a combination of materials, including cement, lime, sand, and water. This siding is popular in the Southwestern region. Installation involves multiple applications of coats of the material for a smooth finish. A big advantage of stucco is that it’s fire-resistant and requires minimal throughout its lifespan.
