Minimal Upkeep
Vinyl has incredible resistance against rot, corrosion, excessive moisture, and pests. This makes the material low-maintenance and easy for anyone to keep the siding well-maintained, so it’s perfect for those who want to save time on home maintenance tasks. Vinyl siding only requires regular cleaning to keep it in tip-top condition.
Energy Efficiency
Vinyl siding can contribute to your home’s energy efficiency. But if you want to maximize its results and save more on energy bills, you might consider opting for the insulated type. Insulated vinyl siding installation provides an additional layer of protection for your home while keeping your interior warm during winter and cool during summer.
Versatility
Vinyl siding comes in various colors, styles, and textures. So when it comes to curb appeal, you won’t have to worry about settling for less. Don’t hesitate to consult with your contractor to know the best style or design for your siding.
Vinyl is produced through extrusion, meaning it can be made into just about any siding shape, style, and color. In addition to traditional horizontal lap and vertical siding, you can choose styles like board-and-batten, shakes and shingles, and even unusual ones like fish-scale siding. Colors are added during the manufacturing process, so you can mix and match styles and colors, and even features like enhanced insulation.
Affordability
Cost is generally a significant factor in any remodeling project. And with vinyl siding, you can find various options to fit different budget sizes. Depending on your needs, the price of vinyl siding can go from cheap to above average.
Vinyl siding can last for many decades when properly maintained. It comes in different board thicknesses for better impact resistance. High-quality vinyl siding can also resemble the appearance and color of real wood. Further, insulated vinyl siding can significantly increase your exterior’s R-value.
Good-Looking
Vinyl can enhance the overall look of your home. It’s a common misconception that vinyl looks ugly and rubbery. Still, new vinyl products can be textured and coated, making them look like authentic wood, stone, or any other material you can think of.
Superior Durability
Vinyl siding is designed to resist harsh winds, hail damage, and other outdoor elements. You won’t have to repaint your exterior. This material resists moisture, so it won’t rot or corrode. It also usually comes with a comprehensive warranty.
Ease of repairs
The need for vinyl siding repair is rare, but if it does happen, the work is easy for a homeowner to accomplish. The way vinyl siding locks together makes it simple for a homeowner to unlock one panel and replace it with a new one.
Benefits for Older Homes
This is also ideal for older homeowners that may need an update to the look of their home but can’t afford to do so every ten years. It will give them the longest life with the lowest amount of maintenance.
Another benefit of vinyl siding is the versatility in terms of what colors and styles are available. You will be surprised at the many color shades and textures that can be chosen from. Our professionals know how to match the color scheme you give them. This is why so many consumers are now seeking this method of redoing their building, whether residential or office.
Other Important Factors
Look up your options fully, so you know exactly what the benefits of vinyl siding are. Then, when your friends, neighbors, or family members ask you why you chose that particular item to work with, you’ll have everything you need to share. Whether you chose a contractor to do the job or used this opportunity to do the work yourself, you’ll also have a unique perspective to share with them on what is involved and the potential costs.
