8 Reasons to Transform Your Home with New Siding

When siding fails due to moisture damage, pest intrusion, or simply old age, your home becomes vulnerable to trouble that will require your time and money. The longer you ignore siding problems, the more they will cost you. In contrast, new siding delivers eye-catching curb appeal, low maintenance, and added energy efficiency.

Don’t risk damaging your home’s structural integrity by ignoring signs you have siding trouble like cracked, warped, or rotting panels, missing planks, extreme fading, blisters, mold, high utility bills, or peeling paint.

Read on to discover compelling reasons to replace your siding now.

Delightful Benefits of Siding Replacement

1. Accent your home’s beauty

When you invest in replacement siding, you elevate your home’s aesthetics, accent its unique architecture, and create stunning curb appeal you are sure to enjoy. Replacement siding gives you the perfect opportunity to create a new style for your exterior!

Take note of your home’s accent features and emphasize them by mixing and matching siding styles. For example, use horizontal lap siding to cover the body of your home and accent gables with vertical planks. Or create a rustic chic farmhouse design with board-and-batten siding. Spruce up modern exteriors with the sleek, crisp design that vertical panels provide.

2. Enjoy energy savings

Your replacement siding material creates a protective barrier that shields your most significant investment from extreme temperatures, lowering your heating and air conditioning use (and delaying the need to replace your HVAC unit!). When you invest in new siding, your home will be covered in house wrap before the siding is installed. Additionally, insulation can be added while your siding is placed, delivering even more energy savings.

3. Get the low-maintenance exterior you’ve been dreaming of

If your current siding requires tedious upkeep (like wood), switching to a different material, such as fiber cement, can deliver the low-maintenance exterior you desire. Wood requires painting your whole house every 6-8 years to keep it sealed against moisture intrusion. In comparison, James Hardie fiber cement’s ColorPlus factory-painted finish only needs to be repainted every 15 years, saving you time and money.

4. Increase your home value

Siding replacement delivers one of the highest percentages when it comes to return on investment (ROI). Depending on your chosen material, you can expect a healthy ROI when you sell your home.

5. Tackle any hidden moisture damage

When your siding is replaced, your house’s protective layer is removed and disposed of. Next, any hidden rot, mold, or deterioration is repaired by your contractor, ensuring there is no unseen trouble brewing behind your new siding.

Knowing that the structure of your home is in tip-top shape and you aren’t in a mold-infested house can give you peace of mind. Not only that, but ridding your property of mold and mildew is great for your health!

6. Shield your home from the weather

Replacement siding safeguards your home from extreme temperatures, snow, ice, hail, high winds, and rainstorms. You can rest at ease that you are well protected when you replace your siding with a durable material that ensures extreme temperatures and harsh weather stay outside where they belong.

7. Enjoy long-lasting beauty and protection

When you invest in quality siding, you can enjoy its durability, which protects your home now and in years to come. James Hardie siding lasts up to 50 years, so you probably won’t ever need to replace your siding again if you choose this resilient material. Additionally, your home will look gorgeous for many years when you install new siding.

8. Avoid pest and woodpecker damage

When your home is covered in wood siding, it can attract woodpeckers and pests like termites and carpenter ants. With new siding, you’ll enjoy solid protection from pest infestation or woodpecker problems.
