Vinyl siding still delivers outstanding beauty, long-lasting performance, and the most carefree maintenance. It’s progressed over the decades to become a superior exterior cladding with many colors and styles that can complement most any home. Its affordability, ease of installation and worry-free maintenance make it a good choice for many of today’s homeowners and installers and one of the most popular siding choices in America today. Here are some important things to think about if you’re considering vinyl siding:
1. Vinyl Siding Offers Beauty and Versatility: Vinyl siding is available in a wide variety of types and colors. In fact, vinyl siding color and style options far outnumber those of any other exterior cladding. Today’s formulations make deep, rich colors possible, and a wide array of siding styles, like shakes and shingles, offer a mix of textures to lend unique curb appeal.
2. Vinyl Siding is Durable and Weather-Resistant: Engineered for long-term durability, vinyl siding can last at least twenty and as long as forty years. Unlike painted wood siding, it does not peel, chip, crack or rot, it’s designed for superior wind- and water-resistance, and most products are certified to meet or exceed rigid quality standards. And many vinyl siding companies back their products with strong warranties.
3. Vinyl Siding is Virtually Maintenance-Free: Vinyl siding never needs to be painted or caulked to protect it from moisture damage. It’s easy to clean with mild soap and water from a garden hose, virtually eliminating the cost and trouble of ongoing maintenance.
4. Vinyl Siding is Affordable: Siding with vinyl usually costs less than using other claddings. And in addition to saving initial costs, the long-term cost of ownership is less as well, especially since the maintenance costs are so low. Choosing insulated siding means additional savings on heating and cooling costs as well. Vinyl siding is worth the investment — the Remodeling Magazine 2020 Cost vs Value Report lists vinyl siding as the #5 top project, with an estimated 74% R.O.I.
