Replacement Siding FAQs
DOES VINYL SIDING REQUIRE ANY MAINTENANCE?
Vinyl siding requires little if any maintenance, never needs to be painted, and if damaged can be easily replaced. To maintain a fresh appearance, vinyl siding should be washed at least once a year.
IS VINYL SIDING DURABLE/WEATHER RESISTANT?
Vinyl siding is manufactured to last a very long time. Warranties for vinyl siding can range from 20-40 years depending on the thickness, with many manufacturers now offering lifetime warranties that can be transferred to the next owner. Vinyl siding is resistant to heat, cold, and moisture, and it’s certified to withstand winds up to 110 miles per hour.
HOW MUCH DOES VINYL SIDING COST?
Vinyl siding is the most affordable siding option on the market. The advantages of vinyl include its low total installed cost. It’s lower than all other materials because vinyl siding is installed faster and doesn’t require painting, sanding, or staining. Also, on average, homeowners who remodel with vinyl will recoup nearly 80% on the cost of the installation—thus increasing the value of the home.
Vinyl siding quotes may vary due to the amount of current exterior that needs removed, underlying damage to current exterior, the quality of the siding panels, and more.
WHY IS VINYL SIDING SUCH A POPULAR CHOICE?
Vinyl siding’s outstanding features and benefits have made it the most popular siding material in America today. Since vinyl is the preferred siding for more and more homeowners, it retains most of its installed cost (see information above). It’s the material of choice on new luxury homes, and the first choice for remodeling projects large and small.
CAN VINYL SIDING BE INSTALLED DURING THE WINTER?
If the weather is reasonable, vinyl siding can be installed during the winter. The only drawback is when extreme weather occurs which can cause delays in the project. Problems can also occur in very low temperatures during installation. If you want your vinyl siding installed during the colder months, contact us for a consultation.
