Let’s talk siding.

So you’re ready to re-side your home. But which material to choose? Each type of siding has unique characteristics. It is essential to understand them to make the best decision:

·       Vinyl: Affordable, easy to maintain, and moisture-resistant.

·       Fiber Cement: Durable, fire- and insect-resistant, but more expensive.

·       Wood: Warm and natural appearance, requires regular maintenance.

·       Metal (aluminum or steel): Resilient to extreme climates but can dent.

·       Composite or Polymer Siding: Offers a modern look and is highly durable.

Contractor Pro Tip: Research which material best suits the climate and style of your region.

Don’t forget the Moisture Barrier!!

·   Before installing the siding, ensure there is a moisture barrier, such as a waterproof house wrap.

·   This protects the internal structure of the house from water infiltration and mold damage.

·   Note: Incorrect installation can cause severe long-term issues.

How will this decision impact the property value?

·   Replacing the siding can significantly increase the value and visual appeal of your home.

·   Choosing quality materials and modern colors can provide a good return on investment (ROI), especially if you plan to sell the house.
