3 Facts About Siding Replacement

Your home’s siding is often the first thing people notice. Whether it’s the color, design, siding type, or holiday decorations you put up, the outside of your home grabs the neighborhood’s attention. A siding replacement is one of the cheapest and best long-term investments that you can put into your home, which is why it is crucial that you properly maintain it as a homeowner.

The lifespan of different sidings

Your siding should consist of durable and strong material, which helps extend its lifespan. If you properly maintain it — fix cracks, repair bruises, and replace missing pieces over time — then your home’s siding should be in good condition for many years to come. Here is the approximate lifespan of different siding materials:

A long-term investment

Hearing the words “cheap, long-term investment” should be music to any homeowners’ ears. When you first buy siding for your home, it may seem like an expensive replacement, but ultimately it will pay for itself. The amount you spent in siding helps ensure you’re getting a return on your investment by paying less on energy bills over time. When the siding of a home is damaged or has cracks, your HVAC unit works harder to heat or cool your home, causing energy bills to skyrocket.

When you should replace your siding

When replacing your siding, it is important to do so at a convenient time — financially and weather-wise. The best time for you to get your siding replaced is during the spring or fall. The temperature is most moderate during these seasons, and the materials are easier to install. During the winter, snow and icy conditions make the job more difficult and exposure to harsh weather can damage materials.
