Considering Home Siding? Hire the Premier Siding Company in West Milwaukee!
A house is an infinite project. There’s always something to do, whether repairs, cleaning or general upkeep. Many homeowners eventually make improvements that lessen the continual workload.
If you’re tired of painting or staining your West Milwaukee home’s exterior, adding siding is a fast, reliable solution to leave those chores in the rearview mirror. No longer the province of just shiny metal or cheap-looking vinyl, improvements in siding technology now add beauty and value to a home … and significantly reduce its upkeep.
This result applies to homes already clad in siding, albeit older material. If color is fading, or siding damaged, the home’s residents might be surprised at the monumental growth in siding options since they last shopped.

For more than 25 years, the exterior siding professionals at RNB Design Group have helped homeowners free up time, and renew their homes’ appearances, with top-notch siding products and service.
The materials available for siding are many, along with styles, colors and features. For purposes of brevity, let’s focus on materials suited to the climate of West Milwaukee.
Where Do I Start With Siding?
New exterior siding offers a host of benefits, besides lower maintenance: enhanced curb appeal. Higher resale value. Lower energy costs. Long-lasting protection from outdoor elements.
The cold winters and warm summers of West Milwaukee lend themselves to three siding types: vinyl siding, composite siding and fiber cement siding. The siding for a house available from RNB Design Group is ideally suited to this climate. A local company knows its weather!
Let’s briefly examine the qualities of each siding material:
- Vinyl: Affordable and easily installed, vinyl siding offers a wide range of colors and styles, along with resistance to insects and rot. The material can crack, warp or sag over time, though, or fade and become discolored.
- Composite: With typical lifespan of 20 to 50 years, composite siding is resistant to warping, cracking and fading. Its appearance can portray natural wood. Homeowners might be surprised at its higher upfront cost. The material may be prone to moisture issues, as well.
- Fiber cement (also called concrete): Offering durability of 50+ years, fiber cement siding can mimic natural stone or wood, and is resistant to fire, pests and weathering. Its toughness literally comes at a price, though – the material is not cheap, and can require specialized installation. Its weight can require added structural support, too.
How do you decide which siding is best for your West Milwaukee home? Consulting with friends and neighbors is a good start. Learn what’s worked for them (or not).
Next, visit showrooms to view siding samples for yourself. Consider their insulation and energy efficiency qualities. Compare costs, features and warranties.
This last part is especially important if you plan to stay in a home for a sustained period. Vinyl siding manufacturers typically warranty their product for 50 years to lifetime. Composite siding is typically warrantied for 20 to 50 years; fiber cement, 30 to 50 years.
Know that siding warranties usually have maintenance requirements and wind speed limitations. Is the warranty transferable to a new owner? All factor into the fine print. Read, and be sure you understand it, before purchasing.
What Else Should I Consider About Siding For My West Milwaukee House?
Sure, a warranty is a warranty. It might cover a material’s condition. It might not cover its appearance.
Thus, other performance attributes of siding should be taken into account: impact resistance and water resistance, for example. The periodic high winds and hail in West Milwaukee can weather (no pun intended) a siding material before its time.
Aesthetics matter, of course. Does the style of siding fit with your home’s design, whether traditional, modern or rustic? Do its color options fit your palette? Do trim and accent options jibe with your architectural style?
House siding cost generally runs $20,000 to $50,000. This covers installation and materials – no more. Do maintenance or replacement costs lie down the road? Will the siding deliver a hoped-for boost in resale value?
Thankfully, you’re not alone in this journey of research and decision. RNB Design Group is ready to help choose the best siding for your house, and install it to factory-specified standards.
