In the Market for Home Siding? Hire the Premier Siding Contractor in Whitefish Bay!
A house is a limitless project. There’s always something to do, whether repairs, cleaning or general maintenance. Many homeowners eventually make improvements that reduce the constant workload.
If you’re tired of painting or staining your Whitefish Bay home’s exterior, installing siding is a fast, trustworthy solution to leave those chores in the rearview mirror. No longer the province of just shiny metal or cheap-looking vinyl, advancements 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 house's residents might be surprised at the monumental growth in siding options since they last shopped.
One siding contractor has the best siding for homes, and siding installers, in Whitefish Bay: RNB Design Group. For more than 25 years, the exterior siding professionals at RNB Design Group have helped homeowners free up time, and renew their houses' appearances, with great 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 Whitefish Bay.
Where Do I Start With Siding?
New exterior siding provides a multitude of benefits, besides lower maintenance: enhanced curb appeal. Enhanced resale value. Lessened energy costs. Long-lasting protection from outdoor elements.
The cold winters and warm summers of Whitefish Bay 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 explore the attributes 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 look can mimic natural wood. Homeowners might be surprised at its higher upfront cost. The material can 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 might require specialized installation. Its weight can require added structural support, too.
How do you figure out which siding is best for your Whitefish Bay home? Consulting with family 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 factor is especially important if you plan to stay in a home for a sustained period. Vinyl siding manufacturers usually 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 ensure you understand it, before purchasing.
What Else Should I Consider About Siding For My Whitefish Bay Home?
Sure, a warranty is a warranty. It might cover a material’s condition. It might not cover its appearance.
Thus, other performance qualities of siding should be taken into consideration: impact resistance and water resistance, for example. The periodic high winds and hail in Whitefish Bay can weather (no pun intended) a siding material before its time.
Aesthetics matter, of course. Does the style of siding match your home’s design, whether traditional, modern or rustic? Do its color options synch with your palette? Do trim and accent options complement 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 ahead? Will the siding deliver a hoped-for bump in resale value?
Thankfully, you’re not alone in this journey of research and decision. RNB Design Group is ready to help select the best siding for your house, and install it to factory-specified standards.
