siding installation

If you want to take the look of your home to the next level and increase its curb appeal, you need to consider new siding. New siding installation is a simple way to enhance the look of your home. Years of storms, age, and unavoidable wear-and-tear can impact the outside of your house, but it can be remedied. A viable solution is to invest in some long-lasting siding that can protect your home from water damage, fires, hail, wind, and other weather elements.

Types of Siding

With professional siding installation, you’ll have countless options to enhance your home, and we ensure that you’ll be satisfied from start to finish. Some of Home Genius Exteriors’ most popular siding options in Maryland include:

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is the most widely used type of siding. This is because it is a cost-effective option that is also easy to install and maintain. It also presents homeowners with a variety of choice in terms of colors and textures, ensuring that your siding can be made to your specific preferences.

Metal Siding

Metal siding offers superior durability, being able to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. While it does come at a greater expense, it is very hard to damage and has a long lifespan, which will ensure you never have to replace your home’s siding again. It is also highly resistant to both water and fire damage.

LP SmartSide

LP Smart Side offers the beauty of traditional wood, with the durability of engineered wood similar to fiber cement siding. It uses superior exterior-grade resins to create a very strong bond within the product. This helps the material withstand extreme heat, cold, rainfall, and humidity.

James Hardie

James Hardie siding, or more commonly known as Hardie Board, is one of the top siding products in use. It is an engineered product that uses a composition of cement fibers, giving it superior strength. Hardie Board is completely fire-resistant, impact-resistant, rot-resistant, resistant to wind, hail, rain, snow, and sun. It is also easily painted and comes with a 30-year warranty.

Wood Siding

Wood siding is a great option for homeowners after that traditional all-American finish to the home. It is the most environmentally friendly siding material as no pollutants are emitted in its manufacture. Wood siding also comes in a variety of styles and finishes.

Stucco Siding

Stucco siding has grown in popularity over the last few years. It is a smart way to update the appearance of older homes given its modern look. Stucco is made using a mixture of water, aggregates, and binder. It comes together to create an attractive plaster that is perfect for almost any home design.

Advantages of Siding

Siding is a common addition to American homes for both its protective capabilities and the beautiful finish it lends to the look of the home. It offers a host of advantages such as those below.

Aesthetic Appeal

There’s no denying siding’s massive impact on the look of the home. It can completely transform the home’s facade, giving it a clean, neat finish that even the best paint job can’t match.

Increased Curb Appeal

Along with its aesthetic appeal comes the obvious knock-on of the home’s value increasing. Siding is one of the best home improvement techniques to add value to the home.

Ease of Maintenance

Once your home’s siding is installed, you can pretty much forget about it and leave IT sitting pretty, as it requires very little to no maintenance.

Energy Efficiency

Siding assists in shielding the home from external elements, like the heat or cold. The protective layer reflects heat and cold, thereby foregoing the need for extra temperature regulators within the home. This equals reduced energy usage and costs.

FAQs

Is Siding Cheaper Than Painting?

The important thing to note here is that siding is one-time, upfront cost or investment, versus paint being a job that needs to be redone regularly. So, in the long run, siding is more cost-effective and worry-free, but painting is bound to cost less if calculated on a one-time basis.

When Should You Replace Siding?

The signs for replacing your home’s siding will become very obvious. Some of these include blistered, cracked, faded or loose siding, dry rot, evidence of moisture seepage inside the home. These are some of the early signs that you may need siding repairs or a replacement. We strongly recommend getting your local siding experts out to inspect and advise on the next steps.

How Much Does It Cost To Side A 1500 sq House?

The homeowner will need to discuss and iron out a number of factors with the siding contractor in order to reach a relevant and accurate siding cost estimation.
