Why is Vinyl Siding the Smarter Home Improvement Choice?

While it’s great to have extra storage for clothes and shoes, the reality is that you likely won’t see much (if any money) back on this project.
And while that new bathroom addition might sound like a bright idea, the truth is that it will cost homeowners around $42,000 and yield 56% ROI.
When it comes to upgrading the value of your property, you need to be smart about your investment. Vinyl siding is one of the best selections for transforming the look of your home, enhancing its energy efficiency, and increasing the value of your property.
Best of all, new vinyl siding installation has an ROI of over 67%.
