These Signs Say Update the Siding on Your Minnesota Home

As the weather turns colder, homeowners around the Twin Cities are doing exterior maintenance, getting their homes ready for winter.  One of those to-do tasks should be to inspect your home for areas that need attention.  When the outside of your home is screaming at you for help, make sure you see the signs that show you it’s time to get it done. Pay particular attention to the condition of your siding.

Whether the weather has been bad, your home is older and needs a little TLC, or your siding has any problems, knowing the signs to look for is essential. This will give you the information needed to know that it’s time to replace your siding.  These are just some of the indicators.

Clues That It’s Time for New Siding

Lack of Energy Efficient Is Key:  If your home is not performing well on energy efficiency, often new siding can be the answer that you turn to.

Old siding can be a cause of wasted energy, especially if there are gaps that let in cold air from the outside, or the air inside your home out.

You can upgrade your siding to a newer, more insulated option that is going to help you save money in the long run. This is something that so many of us don’t think about, but yet it is so easy to do! One of our premium quality siding products is Craneboard® insulated vinyl siding from Exterior Portfolio– it provides a durable, beautiful look for your home while adding comfort to it.

You Notice Damage:  If the siding on your home is cracked or warped, or there are loose or missing sections, your siding definitely is crying out for attention.  Any compromised areas allow infiltration of air, moisture, insects, and rodents.  In addition to energy waste, your home’s structural elements could be at risk.  Mold and wood rot are just two issues.

You Want a New Look:  Stand in the street and take a good look at your home from the point of view of visitors.  Is it appealing?  If the answer is, “No,” replacing your siding could be in order.  When you want a new look and feel for the outside of your home, you can choose from many styles, colors, and brands to find the one that speaks to you. You might be surprised how your house can be transformed.  We offer lots of options, because we believe in giving our customers choices in siding and trim.

Your Home Needs More Protection from the Weather:  Sometimes an aging siding material is no longer sufficient to protect a house from the ravages of Minnesota weather.  Deep-freeze temps, wind-driven rain, hail, and hot and humid summers can be hard on a home if you lack adequate exterior protection.  We have a number of siding products that stand up great to our Midwest weather, including James Hardie® siding engineered specifically for our type of climate.

We would be more than happy to help you with all that needs to be done on the exterior of your home.
