LIKE A BRAND NEW HOME

A change to the exterior of your home can make a big difference to its value.

House siding is designed to make the exterior of the building water resistant and create an architectural appeal that compliments the house design. It needs to fit the home style and also perform under a wide variety of weather conditions. The goal is to have a stable, water-resistant exterior that is also low maintenance and beautiful to look at.

There are many different styles of siding and different materials, all created with the intention of making your house look its very best. The options for siding include masonry, vinyl or plastic, wood, stucco, metal, and veneers. There is something to suit every budget and taste.

There are a number of reasons why you may want to replace your existing siding or add siding to your home for the first time. Perhaps the existing siding is worn out or damaged, or maybe better energy efficiency is your goal, or it’s just time to renovate for a fresh, modern look. New or updated siding can increase the value of your property by increasing its curb appeal.

Older homes can look new again with inexpensive vinyl siding. New, insulated vinyl siding can increase the R-value of the walls and reduce noise transmission from the street or neighboring properties. Vinyl and plastic siding manufacturing techniques have advanced so much that some examples are indistinguishable from real wood.

If you have a cottage or home near the water, you may want to consider shakes or shingle siding, which create a rustic look and feel. High-end restorations and renovations may benefit with the application of brick siding or veneer. A perennial favorite is cementatious board, or “Hardi-plank”. This material looks like wood and can be shaped like wood but has the durability of concrete.
