Choosing to replace your siding offers many benefits for your home and your family. What kind of benefits you might ask? Your new siding will have you nodding in agreement with the following:

  1. No moisture problems here! The primary purpose of siding is to protect your home, mold and foundation from rain, snow, sleet, ice and other elements. New siding acts as a weatherproof seal to protect your home from water damage, unnecessary heating and cooling, and other structural problems.
  2. Can you say, “Curb Appeal?” – Your siding is essentially a coat for your home, in more ways than just insulation. If this coat is faded, cracked, or showing its age in any number of ways, it is not offering up its best possible first impression. Ensure that your home is looking sharp by investing in
  3. Less time for Maintenance = More time to Relax. If your weekend plans include painting or power washing the exterior of your home, we feel your pain. An added benefit of durable HardiePlank or high-quality vinyl options is that they do not need much in terms of maintenance.
  4. A solid investment for your property value. Replacing siding is one of the most inexpensive ways to improve your home, and can help make a home’s exterior look virtually brand new. This relatively inexpensive upgrade can also mean more dollars in your pocket down the road: on average, siding adds a 78 percent return at resale and once installed, it requires little maintenance and lasts for many years.
  5. Doing your part to save the world! Okay, that one may be a slight exaggeration, but fiber cement siding options like HardiePlank are often proclaimed as the green alternative to vinyl and are made up of sand, cement, and wood pulp. During the manufacturing process, Fiber Cement emits fewer dioxins as well as there is no release of dangerous fumes. Either way, if you opt for any variety of new siding – from James Hardie to vinyl to wood – you will be reducing your energy costs, which in turn reduces your carbon footprint.

If you are instead living with old siding that is showing its age, you are probably not experiencing these same benefits listed above.
