Thinking about re-siding your home, but don’t know what material is best for you?  Are you looking for a low cost and low maintenance product?  Consider vinyl siding.

There are benefits to both wood and vinyl siding, and the material you choose will most likely be based on budget as well as personal preference.  While wood siding can last the lifetime of a home, it requires regular maintenance that may be a bit more extensive than what you prefer.  It is also expensive.  So what are the benefits that vinyl siding offers over wood.

Reasonable Price – Though there are some vinyl products on the market that can cost as much as wood, most of them cost significantly less.  These vinyl products come in a variety of strengths and thicknesses, and the product you choose should be based on the climate around your home.  A stronger siding is important if you are susceptible to heavy wind damage, but a lighter material may be just find for a more temperate climate.

No Painting – Vinyl siding comes pre-dyed so you do not have to paint it.  This adds to the low maintenance benefits of using vinyl siding.  Not to mention, you save money on paint.  Vinyl siding can fade over time, though it takes many years.  If your siding fades you do have the option to paint it then as the siding can be painted, though you should check with your manufacturer to see if painting the product will take it out of warranty.

Easy to Clean – Some homes become susceptible to mold and mildew growing on their siding.  This is especially an issue in shaded areas.  The good news about vinyl siding is that it is easy to clean.  A vinegar and water mixture brushed on the mildewed area and a light hosing should do the trick.  It doesn’t get much easier than that!

So if you are looking for a low cost, easy to maintain siding for your home, vinyl siding may be right for you.  The benefits of vinyl siding are endless.  Call American Custom Construction for a free estimate on your next siding project, and learn more about the benefits of vinyl siding.
