Home sweet home. You’ve heard the saying a million times, but what happens when the look of your home isn’t so sweet anymore? The colors are faded and the paint is chipping to the point where the wood frame is exposed. And, no matter how many times you try to touch it up, you just can’t get your house to have the same vivacity it once had.

Investing in new siding is a fool-proof way to give your home back its original charm and make it last. Siding is the first and most prominent thing people notice about your home. With the right color combination you can transform your home from boring to beautiful, knowing that it will last for years and years.

Siding offers your home the aesthetic beauty that lies on the inside. While you may not think aesthetics are important, if you ever plan to sell your home, siding is a must. Curb appeal is important and by updating the exterior of your home, you can actually help improve the appearance of your neighborhood as a whole. Siding is a necessary investment that adds both beauty and value to your home.

New Siding is as Practical as it is Beautiful

You may think siding is purely a cosmetic fix but in reality, siding is the protective shell of your home. It is the only thing separating the wood and steel framing of your home from the ugly effects of Mother Nature. If you can’t justify the expenses for aesthetic reasons, then justify them for maintaining the structural integrity of your home.

By having wood or steel exposed on your home, you are making your house vulnerable to damage from the elements. Even if you have existing siding that is aging or of low-quality, you could still be exposed to severe water damage or other problems. If your siding was installed before 1994, it may not meet the current BOCA building standards. New standards require that homes include a weather resistant barrier installed under your siding to ensure it is safe from air intrusion and water infiltration.

Spending your budget on energy efficient siding is just another way that new siding makes a practical investment. You can justify any initial costs by saving hundreds on your subsequent heating and cooling bills. Do your part to save the planet, while also doing your part to save yourself money.

Siding is an investment in your home’s future; feel proud of the home you live in with new siding.
