Installing vinyl siding on your home improves its appearance and energy efficiency. Whether you are updating on older home or using vinyl siding on new construction, you’ll love the many advantages of this stylish home finish.

Vinyl siding is incredibly durable, lasting for decades with little or no maintenance. Many manufacturers offer a lifetime warranty on professionally installed vinyl siding because it lasts for so long and is color fast in all climates and conditions.

Vinyl siding installation will give you a 100% return on your investment in just a few short years. One year without scraping, sanding and repainting generally covers the cost of new siding. Since vinyl siding also improves the energy efficiency of your home, reducing fuel costs, you will quickly recover the cost of your siding. When it’s time to sell, your home can bring thousands more than a similar house with wood or aluminum siding.

Vinyl siding by major manufacturers such as Variform is strong, flexible and weather resistant. You will never have to worry about dry rot, weather damage, warping, peeling or chipping. The color isn’t just a baked on or painted on finish; it goes right through the vinyl for decades of good looks without fading. Be sure to ask about the warranty on your vinyl siding. In many cases a lifetime, transferable warranty is available.

There are a variety of vinyl siding styles to go with any home style from colonial to contemporary. Talking to a home improvement specialist can help you choose the right kind for your home.

Traditional horizontal siding is available in a variety of widths and is usually textured to mimic the grain of hardwood siding. Colors ranging from dark, slate grays to pale pastels make designing your home easier. Some traditional siding features a beaded edge for a more old-fashioned look. You can also upgrade to vinyl siding featuring striations of color going with the wood grain to give the appearance of stained, rather than painted, wood.

Once you’ve installed new vinyl siding on your home, you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy its beauty with no more time consuming maintenance.
