The exterior of your home reflects the style of your home inside, whether you want it to or not!

That’s why it’s important to choose high-quality siding that will be a good representation of the value of your home. Let’s take a look at five of the most important factors in choosing home siding, so you can make the right decision every time.

Aesthetics ✨

Physical appearance is one of the most important considerations when choosing new home siding. On top of providing a great first impression, it’s also one of the most crucial factors in protecting your house against water damage.

When deciding which type to choose, there are many styles of siding from wood, metal, fiber, and insulating to choose from. All of these have their own aesthetic, so it’s ultimately up to you to decide what works best for your home.

Durability 💪

Home siding is arguably the most important part of a house’s exterior, apart from the roof because of the inherent impression it makes for your home, but also for safety reasons.

Durability should be top of mind when considering which siding to choose. Your home’s environment and climate are important factors in deciding what would be the most economical, and effective choice.

Costs & Budgets 💸

When it comes to home siding, one of the most important factors to consider is cost. You want to make sure that the material you select fits within your budget. Fortunately, many of the available siding materials are quite cost-effective.

Vinyl is one of the most popular siding materials due to its affordability and is available in a wide variety of colors and styles to suit any home. Fiber cement and metal siding are also budget-friendly options that can offer a long-lasting, attractive finish.

Energy Efficiency ♻

When it comes to energy efficiency, you want to make sure you are selecting a product that will help reduce your heating and cooling costs. The siding you choose should be able to prevent air leakage, keep heat in during winter, and keep it out during summer months.

It should also be able to withstand extreme weather conditions and last for years.
When evaluating energy efficiency, look for siding with good insulation properties and low air infiltration. Insulated vinyl siding can provide good insulation and prevent air infiltration, keeping energy bills down year-round, especially in winter months.

Maintenance 🛠

Siding with a low maintenance requirement will help you keep your home looking great without needing to devote too much time or money to its upkeep. There are a few materials that are ideal for low-maintenance sidings, such as vinyl and fiber cement.

Vinyl is an affordable and durable material that resists fading and doesn’t require painting. Fiber cement is also durable, with the added benefit of being fire-resistant. Both of these materials require minimal upkeep and will help you save time and money in the long run.
