As one of life’s largest investments, homeowners take pride in the way their home looks inside and out. There are many improvements you can do like replacing old doors and windows to installing a new roof. But few improvements deliver a more impactful benefit than new siding. RIHI The Home Improvement Specialist wanted to share the top four benefits of installing new siding on your home.
1. Appearance
Every homeowner wants their home to look its best and the right siding can keep your home looking great for many years. Today’s siding products offer a wide variety of colors and textures, and many are made to resist fading and color degradation from the sun’s harmful UV rays. With so many options available to New England homeowners, you’re sure to find something that will reflect your personal taste and style.
2. Energy Efficiency
Siding also works to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. In the summer, the right siding can shade your home by deflecting solar heat gain. And it will also help your HVAC system maintain a more constant and comfortable temperature in your home. In the winter, the insulative qualities of siding like RIHI’s Protec Composite Siding, will keep your home warmer during the Winter.
3. Protection and Durability
Vinyl siding became the most popular choice because of its incredible durability and weather resistance. Vinyl siding is impervious to rot, and it is generally resistant to all kinds of water damage. It’s also important to remember that most vinyl siding is rated to withstand hurricane-force winds, and damage from hail.
4. Increased Value
Installation of new siding will add a nice boost to your home’s value too. Whether you’re selling your home now or in the future, the numerous benefits of new siding are worth it. Whether it’s the curb appeal, low-maintenance requirements, energy efficiency, new siding will boost your home value. So now that Spring has sprung it’s a great time to consider new siding.
