Made from PVC, vinyl siding is celebrated for its durability and minimal maintenance needs. It comes in various styles and colors to suit different tastes.
Wood siding offers a natural, timeless look and can be painted or stained in various colors. However, it requires regular maintenance to keep it in top condition.
Composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, fiber cement siding is renowned for its durability and resistance to fire, insects, and rot.
Lightweight and resistant to fire and pests, aluminum siding can dent and often requires painting to maintain its appearance.
Extremely durable and fire-resistant, steel siding can be more expensive and prone to rust if not properly coated.
This option provides a classic, robust look but is heavier and often more costly to install
Begin by thoroughly inspecting the existing exterior for any signs of damage or wear. Remove the old siding if necessary, ensuring all remnants are cleared away. Repair any damaged wall areas, addressing issues like rot, mold, or structural weaknesses to prepare for the new siding installation.
Apply a high-quality weather-resistant barrier over the entire exterior surface. This barrier acts as a crucial shield against moisture infiltration, preventing water damage and maintaining the integrity of the structure. Ensure it is properly installed, with all seams and edges securely sealed to maximize protection.
Install starter strips meticulously at the bottom of the wall to provide a secure base for the siding panels. Carefully trim around windows and doors to ensure a precise fit, enhancing both the appearance and weatherproofing of these critical areas.
Start the installation at the bottom of the wall and work upwards, methodically attaching each siding panel. Ensure each panel is perfectly level and properly aligned with the previous one to maintain a uniform appearance. Regularly check alignment and make adjustments as needed for a flawless finish.
Seal seams and edges to prevent water penetration, and add finishing touches like caulking and paint if needed.
Certain materials, especially wood, can attract termites and other pests.
Temperature fluctuations and impacts can cause some siding materials to crack over time.
Choose materials that can withstand local weather conditions, such as high humidity, extreme temperatures, or frequent storms
Consider the upkeep required for different materials. For example, wood siding needs regular painting or staining, while vinyl and fiber cement are more low-maintenance.
Siding costs vary significantly based on material, labor, and the size of the project.
Select a style and color that complement the design of the building and its surroundings.
Poor installation or lack of maintenance can lead to water infiltration, causing rot and mold.
