Considering House Siding? Hire the Top Siding Installer in Saint Lawrence!
A house is an ongoing project. There’s always something to do, whether repairs, cleaning or general maintenance. Many homeowners eventually make improvements that minimize the continuous workload.
If you’re done with painting or staining your Saint Lawrence house's exterior, adding siding is a fast, trustworthy solution to put those chores in the rearview mirror. No longer a product of just shiny metal or cheap-looking vinyl, advancements in siding technology now add beauty and value to a home … and notably 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 stunned at the explosive growth in siding options since they last shopped.
One siding contractor has the best siding for homes, and siding installers, in Saint Lawrence: 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 Saint Lawrence.
Where Do I Start With Siding?
New exterior siding provides a multitude of benefits, besides reduced maintenance: enhanced curb appeal. Enhanced resale value. Reduced energy costs. Long-lasting protection from outdoor elements.
The cold winters and warm summers of Saint Lawrence 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 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 portray 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 look like 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 decide which siding is best for your Saint Lawrence home? Consulting with friends and neighbors is a good start. Learn what’s worked for them (or not).
Next, visit showrooms to see 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 house 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 often 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 Saint Lawrence 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 Saint Lawrence 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 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 down the road? 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 choose the best siding for your house, and install it to factory-specified standards.
