10 Reasons Why Vinyl Siding is Perfect for Your Home

roofer-admin • May 18, 2021

Vinyl siding is a type of exterior cladding that has been around for decades. It originated in the 1950s, and due to recent innovations, it is now one of the most popular home improvements made today. There are many benefits to using vinyl siding on your home. Here are 10 reasons why it might be the perfect exterior option for your home.

Variety of Options/Colors

Vinyl siding comes in a variety of colors, allowing you to match it with the color scheme of your house. When you’re looking to completely upgrade the look of the exterior of your home, one way to do so is to change out your siding.

There are also several options regarding the appearance of vinyl siding. These are called “vinyl siding styles.” When you hear people say ‘vinyl siding styles’ what they are usually talking about is the different appearances of the actual siding panels. In addition to varied colors, siding panels can have different:

  • Profiles
  • Textures
  • Thicknesses
  • Lengths (how long the planks are)

The siding we offer at Crossover Roofing features beautiful low-gloss cedar wood grain that captures the look and feel of natural wood.

Durability

One of the main advantages of vinyl siding is just how durable it really is. Vinyl provides excellent protection from the elements, which in turn helps protect your home and belongings. Vinyl is also resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew. It will last for years without chipping or peeling like paint might over time.

Easy Maintenance

Vinyl siding is easy to maintain and will never need painting or staining. Just a light sweep with the occasional power wash and you’re all set, easy peasy! As we said earlier, vinyl is also resistant to mold and mildew which means less time cleaning up unsightly messes and more time spent enjoying your home.

Energy Efficiency

Vinyl siding deflects the sun’s heat in summer and blocks cold winds in winter. Installing insulated siding may improve the energy efficiency of an older home, while installing standard siding onto a new build helps to maintain peak levels of efficiency.

Cost-Effectiveness

Vinyl siding is one of the most cost-effective exterior options on the market. It is typically less expensive than brick, cedar or wood. Because it never requires painting and resists mold/mildew, it can last a long time before needing to be replaced, typically 20-40 years.

Vinyl also tends to have a higher resale value which means you may be able to recoup some of your initial cost.

Ease of Repairs

One of the benefits of vinyl siding is that repairs can be completed with minimal waste, as the panel design allows for the replacement of smaller pieces and components.

Curb Appeal

Installing new vinyl siding can increase the appeal of your home and overall curb appeal. It is widely accepted as a material that will retain its beauty for many years, maintaining an attractive appearance without painting or staining. Installing siding is a low-cost way to add value and curb appeal.

Installation

Vinyl siding is a perfect option if you want the job done quickly and easily. This means you will save both time and money on installation. Although it is easy to install, we still recommend enlisting the help of a professional like Crossover Roofing.

UV Resistant Options

There is a wide variety of vinyl siding available that provides UV resistance, which can be an important consideration in regions with high heat or humidity. Vinyl has been proven to resist sun damage and the fading effects of sunlight better than other materials such as wood and fiber cement boards so it’s not necessary to paint your house every few years like you would with those options.

Quality Options

When it comes to siding brands, you get what you pay for. That’s why we offer Royal Crest  and  Woodsman Selec t which are among the most respected and popular brands in the siding manufacturing industry. Quality siding is sturdy, beautiful, and typically backed by a warranty.
