Vinyl Siding Guide for Homeowners

Unlike homeowners of old, the modern homeowner is much more involved in the entire process of interior and exterior design than they used to be. One of the more noticeable design improvements to the outside of a home is the choice of siding.

There can be many reasons for a siding replacement such as aesthetic value, better weather protection, improved insulation performance and an increase in property value, but primary concerns involve the overall durability of the siding and how well it will withstand the weather conditions in their local area.

Painting your home can be one of the more expensive home improvement tasks you can undertake on a regular basis over the lifetime of your home. However, there are house siding options that will never require painting that come in a wide variety of colors and finishes. They are also highly resistant to scratch damage.

These are some of the main reasons to install or replace siding:

• Looks. Unlike anything else, new siding gives your home a face lift, updating its appearance and offering increased curb appeal. It doesn’t matter if you’re giving your home a makeover or replacing siding due to storm damage, E.R. Roofing Company will guarantee both your new siding and your home’s beauty.
• Increase in Home Value. On average, a homeowner is expected to see up to 103% of siding installation costs on selling their home. So if you’re thinking of selling now or want to appreciate the market value of your home, E.R. Roofing will install quality siding within budget backed by a guarantee.
• Better Energy Savings. Better protection from the elements is certain with a new siding installation from E.R. Roofing. Your home will be better insulated with fewer drafts leading to reduced energy costs.
• Low Maintenance. New siding technologies allow you fade-free colors that look clean and crisp throughout its lifetime meaning you’ll never need to paint the outside of your home again. By simply pressure washing your siding you can keep the exterior of your home fresh-looking and clean.
• Safety. While no siding can be fire-proof, some sidings are fire resistant meaning they prevent or retard the passage of excessive heat, hot gases or flames. Additionally, many fiber-cement siding products are resistant to both insects and moisture.
