There are several things you can do to improve your home’s exterior. Updating the landscape, painting the home or adding new windows are some of them. But one thing that will dramatically change your home’s appearance is to install new siding. In the past there weren’t many siding options to choose from, leaving homeowners few choices besides the often unattractive vinyl siding. But today there are a wide variety of options available, including much improved vinyl options, not to mention metal, wood, and stucco.
More than 90% of prefinished siding installed these days is made of vinyl because the product has steadily improved over the years and is available in a wide variety of qualities, styles and colors. Vinyl siding never needs painting because its color goes all the way through the material and won’t peel, flake or show scratches like painted surfaces. Steel and aluminum siding are more expensive than vinyl siding, but they offer greater energy efficiency than vinyl, which translates into lower heating and cooling costs for years to come. Metal siding can also withstand more heat than vinyl, as in the case of fire. Wood siding comes in many different types, making it easier for you to create a very unique exterior for your home. And, with proper maintenance wood siding will last you for many years to come. Stucco is a siding material made of Portland cement, sand, lime and water. It provides a solid, durable and seamless home exterior. Some advantages of stucco siding include a natural resistance to fire as well as being long lasting and requiring little maintenance.
