What are some benefits of new vinyl siding?
Keeps Out Moisture
Siding assists in keeping moisture from the weather where it needs to be: outside. Vinyl siding can shed water quickly and keep it away from soaking into materials. Excess moisture can cause mold issues or excessive damage to windows, doors, and the foundation, so it is wise to invest in proper siding to keep your home dry.
Keeps Pests Away
Pests like insects and spiders can be kept at bay with properly installed siding. Modern siding materials are created to resist cracks and warping, keeping them insect-proof. Termites and birds cannot burrow into siding as easily as they can a painted wood exterior.
Insulation
It is important to keep a home warm during the chilly Ohio months, and siding can assist with that. Strong winds are kept from entering the home by sealing up the walls with siding. A good quality house siding acts as a wrap of protection, and the proper amount of insulation assists with keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Curb Appeal
There are many options to consider to help your home have a beautiful and classic look. Vinyl siding offers a huge array of colors, types, and styles. According to experts, new siding can increase your home’s value by up to 76 percent of the cost.

Trustworthy Installers
Today, many homeowners are go-getters and gain a sense of pride through DIY projects. Is siding something to do as a weekend DIY project? The clear answer to this would be: NO! And there are some good reasons why.
- It can be quite dangerous to climb on two-story buildings without proper equipment. Skilled siding installers are taught appropriate and safe procedures when climbing on tall homes
- Some warranties become void if the siding is not installed properly
- Removal of current material produces a tremendous amount of debris. This old material must be disposed of properly
- A professional installation crew can take 3 to 5 days to tear off, repair, and replace new siding. It would be more time-consuming for the average homeowner.
