Time for an update on your home’s exterior? Whether you’ve got the itch for a little change or your siding is due to be replaced, it can be exciting to give your home a makeover! If you’ve had vinyl siding installed previously, you know how durable and long-lasting it is as a material. But what choice is right for your home now? Based on Dallas-Fort Worth conditions and your own personal preferences, we’ll discuss different vinyl siding options available as well as which could work best for you.
How to Tell if You Need New Siding on Your Home
The telltale sign it’s time to replace your siding is how long it’s been since it was installed. Depending on the material used, this could be anywhere from 15-40 years. If you’re seeing any of the following signs, though, it’s definitely worth looking into a modern vinyl siding replacement as soon as possible.
- Cracks or warps in your siding
- Mold or mildew appearing at regular intervals
- More frequent maintenance requirements
- The color has faded, indicating failing weatherproofing
- Higher energy bills with no other known cause
Siding Options Available
Curious about what’s out there? While there are several materials that can be used to manufacture siding like wood and aluminum, for ease of replacement, affordability and overall durability, we’d recommend vinyl as a modern, energy-efficient home siding option. Let’s explore this more in depth below.
What Makes Vinyl Siding a Good Choice?
For its price point and longevity, vinyl siding is a great choice for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Energy Efficiency
Beyond the initial affordable price, vinyl siding continues to be a good choice for budget-conscious homeowners due to the continuing benefits you’ll experience down the road. Vinyl siding wraps your home in an insulating layer, protecting your home from both scorching Texas summers and chilly winters for year-round temperature control. This puts less stress on your precious HVAC system, meaning you’ll see savings on your energy bills!
Durability
Vinyl siding is engineered to last up to 40 years, giving you decades of solid service and peace of mind. Additionally, it holds up well to inclement weather and everyday impact damage. No need to worry about heavy winds or severe storms leaving any marks on your home!
Low Maintenance, High Satisfaction
All the maintenance your vinyl siding will need is a quick wipe-down for spot treatment with your standard household cleaning solution. Vinyl siding is tough against dirt and grime, and engineered not to require sanding down, painting or staining down the line.
