Benefits of Vinyl Siding

1. Improved curb appeal

One of the best vinyl siding features is that it adds curb appeal to your home without costing you a fortune. Vinyl siding offers more design options and is available in a wide variety of patterns and colors hence a popular choice for homeowners who want to improve their homes' aesthetics. Depending on your requirements, it can also be easily customized with additional features like lattice, soffits, etc.

2. Environmentally Friendly

Vinyl siding is a great choice if you're looking for an eco-friendly siding option. It's made of plastic that can be easily recycled, so it doesn't add to the landfill. Not only that, but vinyl siding also has other environmental benefits like reduced energy consumption, reduced storm water runoff, and increased resistance to fire damage.

3. Durability

Vinyl siding is also widely considered one of the most durable and long-lasting types of siding available. Vinyl offers all-weather protection and withstands extreme temperatures while still keeping its sleek and stylish look. Furthermore, since the vinyl siding is designed to fit with your home's architectural lines and materials, it creates a seamless aesthetic look that won't seem out of place in any environment.

4. Low Maintenance

Another benefit of vinyl siding is that it doesn't need regular maintenance. It's made out of plastic that can resist damage from even the harshest weather conditions. When it's time to clean up, you can wipe down the siding with a damp cloth and then let it air dry.

1. Cracks

Cracks in your siding are a sign that something is wrong with the underlying materials and structures around it. If your home is built with wood, a cracked vinyl siding may be caused by termites. The cracks could indicate that your siding isn't fitting properly.

2. Exterior Etching and Fading

If your siding is fading or acquiring an etched look, it may be time for a repair. Vinyl siding should look clean and free from blemishes. If it isn't, that could indicate an underlying problem with your home's foundation or the flashing around your windows and doors. If this is the case, our experts can help you resolve the issue as quickly as possible so that you don't have to deal with long-term damage.

3. Blisters or bubbles on your siding

Blisters usually develop when moisture gets trapped beneath the surface of your siding, and the moisture reacts with the flash coating. If your vinyl siding is developing bubbles or blisters, it's possible that the flashing is missing important components like a water stop or an adhesive.

4. Cracks and peeling paint

Cracks and peeling paint are signs that an object has been hitting your home, causing structural damage to the area around it. It can also be caused by extreme weather conditions like high winds, hailstorms, etc., which require immediate repair if they have damaged your siding.

5. Fungus, mold, or mildew

Mold and mildew are common problems in humid environments where vinyl siding is used. They're often caused by water leaking into the walls and damaging the materials behind them. However, you can also develop mold and mildew if you neglect to clean your siding regularly.
