Every year there are thousands of homeowners throughout the state of Minnesota deciding which type of siding to put on their new or existing homes. With the almost endless siding products on the market, this can be a hard decision to make!
You have to think of all the extras out there that might have to do with the siding that you choose to go with. This is for the simple fact that if you’re not choosing a siding that can take warm weather plus a good winter beating – you’re not choosing the right siding for our Apple Valley climate.
Replacing the siding on your home might not be the cheapest thing you can do but it is something that provides the best investment in the long run. You’re able to recoup close to 80 percent of the costs that you spent to put the siding on your home when you sell it. You may only have to choose siding for your home once in your whole lifetime but if you have to decide, there is not just a black and a white decision – there is a whole platter of siding options to choose from. You get to capture the unique look and feel of your home with the right siding that is being put on it.
When it comes to putting new siding on your home, this is not the place to choose a cheap ‘bargain’ product. Don’t compromise on quality; you want something that is going to last a long time and that is installed the right way, the first time. This is the shell that is going to protect you from the elements of the weather all around you. You cannot have siding that is going to let the moisture in – this is what it is supposed to stop!
Another thing to keep in mind is that your siding is going to be what is noticed first on your home, so you need to choose something that goes well with the overall look of it. Make a dramatic entrance or choose something more subtle – whatever you go with is what you have as your calling card and how your house stands out from the rest on the block.
There are a few other things to consider on your long journey to choosing the right siding such as maintenance that is needed to be done – the least amount of upkeep the better, and whether or not replacing sections will be easy or hard.
There are so many popular maintenance-free siding choices such as vinyl, fiberglass, and fiber cement. Fiber cement siding offers more durability than many other siding products on the market and it looks beautiful, lasts for a lifetime and is easy to maintain and fix. Not only that but you get many looks to choose from, the color never fades, and it is resistant to fire ,which is one of the best things about it since it is a bit safer than the competition. It looks beautiful, and because of it’s long life, you can reassure a potential buyer for your property and can let them know that they will not have to replace their siding any time soon.
