As one of life’s largest investments, homeowners not only take pride in the way their home looks on the inside, but creating great curb appeal is equally important. There are many improvements we
can do from replacing old doors and windows to installing a new roof, but few deliver a more impactful benefit than new siding, with 75 years of experience under our belt, RIHI Team wanted to share the top four benefits of installing new siding on your home.
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.
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, which will help your HVAC system maintain a more constant and comfortable temperature in your home. In the winter, again the insulative qualities of today’s siding, like RIHI’s Protec Composite Siding, will keep your home warmer during the harsh New England Winters.
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 although it can build up mildew in shady areas, 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 and falling branches.
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 including the curb appeal, low-maintenance requirement, energy efficiency, and durability will give your home a nice boost in value. So now that Spring has sprung it’s a great time to consider new siding.
