Go with Vinyl Siding for Protection & Stunning Appearance
The exteriors of homes in the Rochester, NY, and Buffalo, NY, regions take a beating from the weather. Not only do our frequent storms mar the appearance of homes, but they can also cause significant damage to exterior walls – unless the homes are protected with vinyl siding.
Felgemacher Roofing & Siding installs new vinyl siding on homes to protect the home’s structure and give it an unmatched, classy appearance.
How the weather affects exterior wood and brick walls
Wood siding is prone to rotting, even if treated. When rotting begins, it’s just a matter of time before you’re dealing with water leaks, discoloration, bug infestation, and other problems.
A brick home is beautiful until the bricks begin to crack and the mortar starts crumbling away. That’s when vulnerable areas behind the brick façade can take on water and begin to deteriorate. Water intrusion can cause unsightly white stains (efflorescence) in sections of the masonry walls. Mold can start growing in unseen areas of the home.
Both wood and brick make wonderful exterior walls for homes, but they both require a fair amount of maintenance and repair work down the line to keep them looking good and protect the house.
The value of vinyl siding
Whether it’s new siding for an existing home or a home under construction, vinyl siding delivers real value to New York homeowners. Here’s why.
Won’t rot
Vinyl siding won’t absorb water or rot and decay like wood and brick. This means you won’t have to constantly repair it while worrying about structural damage on the other side.
Retains its color
Weather-damaged wood and brick can make a home look ugly after they start to fade and discolor. Vinyl siding has its color baked in, so it won’t lose its beauty through years of harsh weather.
Attractive pricing
The cost of installing new vinyl siding on a home can be less than half that of adding real wood, brick, or stone siding. The price is even less when you consider how long vinyl siding will last and how good it will look throughout its lifespan.
Long life
When a quality vinyl siding product is installed correctly, you should get at least 30 to 40 years from it. It’s not uncommon for it to keep performing well after 60 years.
Provides extra insulation
Vinyl siding is a great way to add insulation to your home and help lower heating and cooling bills.
A beautiful appearance
With the variety of styles, colors, and finishes available with vinyl siding, you can give your home a beautiful look that everyone passing by will marvel at, and you get to live with every day.
May speed up the sale of the home
Finally, as with many home upgrades, lovely vinyl siding can be a factor that speeds up the sale of your home when that time comes. Homebuyers latch onto homes that look nice.
