4 Siding Replacement Options for Your Home

Pro Roofing and Siding’s comprehensive guide to siding replacement options

Siding, also known as wall cladding, is the protective material fixed on the outer side of a building’s wall or a house. Contrary to common beliefs, home siding is not for aesthetic purposes only but a system installed to curb the detrimental effects of the rain, snow, sun, cold, and heat. 

Siding comes in various types: vinyl, wood, metal, fiber cement, insulted, and stucco siding. The average lifespan of home siding varies depending on the material (it can last for as long as 30 years), but ultimately it is dictated by the area’s climate conditions and the maintenance given over the years.

Reasons for Siding Replacement

As previously mentioned, well-maintained siding can last for many years. Yet, it may only take one mighty windstorm to destroy your exterior, which will, in turn, you would make you think about replacing your siding prematurely. 

There are many reasons to replace damaged siding from a storm. For instance, when the external forces hit your siding, it may develop gaps, cracks, or other defects which permit moisture to penetrate the walls, thus compromising your home’s ability to regulate temperature. 

Dampness in walls can also cause mold or rot if not taken care of timely. Therefore, it is imperative to treat your home siding repair with urgency in case of a severe storm to restore your home’s aesthetic value and bring back proper interior insulation to avoid increases in energy bills. 

Siding Replacement Options 

When planning a siding replacement project, it is vital to understand the siding replacement options and the particular properties and benefits of each material in the market, how they can protect your home and enhance its visual appeal.

Popular siding replacement options:

Vinyl Siding 

Vinyl siding is the most used home siding of all. It comes in numerous different colors, has a unique style, cost-effective, long-lasting, easy to install and maintain. 

Vinyl siding is particularly advantageous in harsh climatic conditions since it can retain its shape, resist strong winds, maintain its original color and surpass other manufacturer claims. 

At Pro Roofing and Siding, we can provide you with an estimate on vinyl siding installation cost and an ongoing maintenance to ensure your investment lasts for as long as it can. 

Fiber Cement Siding

Another of the popular siding replacement options in the state of Georgia is fiber cement siding. As the name suggests, this siding material is manufactured using a combination of cement, sand, and cellulose. It is available in various colors, and it is generally designed to resemble natural wood.

One significant perk about fiber cement siding is that it cannot rot, cannot get bleached by the sun’s rays, is impervious to all types of harmful termites, is fire resistant, and can be repainted when you want to change colors. 

In other words, fiber cement siding is a versatile, long-lasting, and cost-effective investment. Yet, as a homeowner, it’s essential to consider that fiber–cement materials are bulky, and installation needs special tools and techniques to do it right. Give us a call today to book your free estimate for fiber cement siding installation.

Wood Siding 

Wood siding is available in numerous species and grades. You can choose your grades depending on your finishing taste and preference. 

For instance, if you desire the natural glamour of wood to be portrayed through a transparent or semi-transparent stain, you must choose costlier grades with minimal defects. Alternatively, you can opt for less expensive grades if you intend to paint or use an opaque stain. 

One significant advantage of wood siding is that it has no bureaucracies when it comes to cutting, shaping, and installation. It is also affordable and can last for decades without replacing it. Nevertheless, you must repaint it after every five years, re-stain it after three years, or apply a clear finish after two years.

Aluminum Siding

Aluminum siding is not typical to see, but it is an excellent option for homeowners who want something unique and economical. 

It is not susceptible to rust, making it particularly popular among the coastal regions, but it can also do well in other areas. On the other hand, it is easy and cheap to maintain and can be repainted if you ever desire to give it a boost. 

The downside about aluminum siding is that it’s relatively vulnerable to dents and dings and can make irritating sounds when expanding or contracting.
