New siding can completely transform the look of a home. Since it covers almost the entire surface area of your home, siding is often one of the first things people notice about your property. Siding also acts like your home’s skin — protecting it from the elements.
Whether you are building a home or remodeling one, there are seven key areas homeowners should account for when determining which siding option meets your needs. Trusted roofing company, Adams Roofing Professionals, Inc., shares a guide to choosing the right type of siding for your home.
1. Curb Appeal
Take the time to compare color combinations and styles, including those that are typically associated with your home style. Find a style that can match the rest of your exterior and enhance the overall architectural appeal of your home.
2. Material
Residential siding can be made from wood, vinyl or fiber cement, among others. Each has its own set of features, all of which you should put into consideration before making your choice.
3. Energy Efficiency
Siding with good insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, which results in reduced indoor cooling and heating requirements that lead to savings on your energy bill.
4. Durability
Homeowners should look for a siding option that is resistant to every element, including rain, wind and even the sun. Manufacturers now offer siding products with technologies that resist the damaging impact of the sun, preserving color for the lifetime of the home.
5. Maintenance
Low-maintenance siding reduces or eliminates the cost and personal time expended for proper upkeep. The earlier point about durability plays a part here too, ensuring the option you select is free from potential time-consuming and pricey roof repair cost due to storm damage such as wind and moisture.
6. Affordability
Look for options and secure estimates, then compare them with your budget. Don’t forget that sometimes investing a little more into the project upfront may reduce issues and maintenance costs down the road.
7. Ease of Installation
A faster installation brings in less disruption to your home. Not only does it reduce the number of days you need to deal with loud sounds and piles of clutter, but also helps save dollars on labor.
