With winter coming to an end, here in the St. Paul area many homeowners are getting out their spring ‘to do’ list for exterior maintenance and repairs.  A lot of times when you’re thinking about doing home repairs and renovations, you may not think to start in the winter, but it does make a good time to plan what you’d like to do when the weather warms up.

One of the most cost-effective things a homeowner can do is to make quality home improvements that save time and energy and also add to the value of the home.  By renovating your home with energy-efficient and low-maintenance materials, you’re able to get a return on your investment of close to half of the costs of your improvement (and with some specific projects, even more). Upgrading or even fully replacing the siding on your home with a higher quality material is able to increase this return amount even more – in some cases as much as 80%.

 

Choosing to Install Fiber Cement Siding in St. Paul MN

One of the best places to start is by choosing to go with fiber cement siding over other traditional siding options. New siding is able to return an average over 70% of the investment. If you’re thinking of big renovations, the first one you should be thinking about is replacing the siding on your home to a newer, higher-end fiber cement siding option such as the various product lines available from The James Hardie Company.

It does not, however have the same moisture damage that wood goes through. It has a higher resistance to moisture that it comes in contact with. There are also less maintenance requirements that come with fiber cement. Considering a highly experienced Minneapolis siding contractor such as Window Outfitters for the installation job should also be done.
