How to choose the right Siding

Siding has an additional feature than simply cover your house; It also gives to your house a sense of a style and contributes greatly to your curb appeal. So when it is time to install new siding or to renovate what is already in your house, most homeowners wonder what will be the best liner for your home. Choosing the right siding for your house can be a challenge, but there are several ways you can help narrow down the selection until you find exactly what you are looking for.

At US ROOFING Contractors located in Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Alabama,  we give you five basic issues you should consider that will help you make the right decision:

1. Water Resistance:

Depending on the material some types of siding will be more water resistant than others. This will prolong the life of that material as well as prevent decay due to water or moisture.

2. Aesthetics & Texture:

The right color, texture, and overall aesthetics of the siding is all about appearance. How your siding will look and what colors are available are probably one of the most important decisions that will affect your siding purchase.

3. Energy Efficiency:

Siding material comes with an R-value that measures the energy efficiency of the material. The higher the R value the better the thermal insulation. Check the R-value rating for energy savings and understand what will be needed as far as insulation beneath the cladding.

4. Versatility:

The structure of your home and exterior can play a role in what type of siding your wish to install. Make sure the siding has the versatility to meet the varied needs of your specific project. If there are aspects of your home's exterior that will make using a particular type of siding more challenging than others, make sure you understand what the added costs or necessary adjustments will be.

5. Durability:

Does it have the strength to resist temperature shifts present in your climate? How does it stand up to everyday wear and tear? How long will your siding last before it has to be replaced, maintained, or painted? Some siding such as stucco, if done right can last a lifetime of the home and will only need to be repainted every 6-7 years.
