Siding does more than make a house appear good. It excludes wind, rain, and snow and provides insulation and lowers bills.
Vinyl siding continues to be favored for its price and availability of colors. When well maintained, it lasts from 20 to 40 years. It resists moisture and rot. Adding a new coat of siding paint can keep it looking like new without unnecessary replacement.
Wood siding has a warm and old-fashioned feel and it lasts 20 to 30 years. But wood requires much maintenance. Abandoned, it decays or becomes infested with insects, such as a weathered shingle shake roof or tile roof.
Engineered wood has the look of natural wood but lasts longer for 30 years or more with regular upkeep. This siding prevents dampness and insects from penetrating, so it is an intelligent investment across Westchester.
Fiber cement siding is perhaps the most long-lasting. James Hardie and others have earned national trust. Fiber cement siding lasts nearly 50 years with little maintenance. It is fire-resistant, bug-proof, and storm-resistant. As much as a metal roof is better than a shingle roof in regard to endurance, fiber cement is better than other siding options.
LP siding is strong and attractive. When well-fitted and serviced, it has a lifespan of 30 years. It is widely favored by many families for the equilibrium of style and durability.
Stucco siding has a long history. If properly done, it remains strong for 50 years or more. It can withstand rough storms and provides a distinctive textured appearance. But when poorly installed, cracks begin to show, so it is essential to get professional work.
There are warnings when the siding wears out. Warping, rotting, mold spots, discoloration, or higher energy costs tell you it is the time. At this stage, siding replacement prevents walls from further damage. Just as roof replacement becomes necessary with missing shingles, siding replacement stops damage in its tracks.
