5 Things You Need to Know When Replacing Your Siding
Replacing your siding, like replacing your home’s roof, is a big investment. Before diving in, be sure you know exactly which siding will best serve your needs.
Budget
When choosing the new siding for your home, you must first consider your budget as well as the other effects the investment will have. Certain kinds of siding may be more expensive, yet they will last longer than other varieties of siding. Additionally, some siding will require less maintenance and thus cost you less money and time in the future. It is important to consider all aspects as to how this investment may affect your assets.
Efficiency
New siding can also offer greater energy efficiency than your current siding. Energy efficiency isn’t just about helping to protect the environment — it is also about the effects on your monthly bills. Heating and cooling a home uses more energy than your other appliances combined which means, if your home has any leaks, you are wasting quite a bit of money. Replacing your siding will up your home’s efficiency. However, investing in the most energy efficient siding material can provide you the best results.
Maintenance
You should also consider the amount of maintenance your siding will require. For example, wood will need to be sanded and refinished regularly. However, other materials such as aluminum hardly require any maintenance. Additionally, you can consider the other benefits that your siding can provide; for example, concrete fiber siding can act as a natural fire retardant.
Aesthetics
As you decide which new siding to invest in, you should also think about your home’s aesthetics. Various siding materials will provide different textures, looks, and even colors. You only get one chance to make a good impression — make sure your home is looking it’s best and saying what you want it to say about it’s interior and you.
Resale Value
Investing in siding can also be an effective means to up the resale value of your home! Some homeowners have reported earning over half the investment back when they sold their home.
