Top 5 Advantages of Vinyl Siding Replacement

If your home is beginning to look its age as the result of worn-out vinyl siding, it may be time to consider an upgrade.

If your vinyl siding has seen better days, there are many advantages to replacing it. Here are our top five:

1. Protection

Vinyl siding is the protective shell of your home. It prevents both air and noise pollution while still protecting moisture levels in your home by allowing the walls to breathe.

2. Energy efficiency

Vinyl siding insulates your home, increasing its R-value. With today?s energy efficient vinyl technology, you can reduce your home?s energy costs by up to 30 percent.

3. Visual appeal

That avocado green siding from 1970 isn?t exactly in style anymore, and your siding is showing its age. Replacing worn-out siding greatly improves your home?s curb appeal.

4. Value

In both form and function, vinyl siding improves the overall value of your home. In fact, Remodeling Magazine’s 2013 Remodeling Cost Vs. Value Report states 73 percent of your investment in vinyl siding could be recuperated if you decide to sell your home.

5. Warranty

Vinyl siding lasts and typically comes with an extensive warranty. This protects your investment so you don?t have to worry about replacing it again.

Can I Just Paint My Old Siding?

Painting vinyl siding will actually cost you more in the long run. How?

Vinyl and paint are incompatible due to the flexibility of vinyl versus that of the paint.
Vinyl absorbs heat, and particularly with dark paint, warps and melts, producing unattractive results.
Vinyl contracts in the cold, exposing unsightly unpainted surfaces between planks.
Paint weakens vinyl, deteriorating the chemical structure of the vinyl as the paint is exposed to UV light.
Painting is costly and time consuming, especially considering that paint will crack and peel in a very short time.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
