Why Would You Replace Siding On A House?
Katelyn Lewis • September 7, 2022
There are a handful of reasons why you would replace the siding on a house. Let’s review them!
- Bolster your home’s defense. Siding protects your home from outdoor elements, keeping your family comfortable and safe inside. If it has begun to rot, crack, ebb, or crumble, then it cannot perform its role and leaves your home exposed to potential damage, especially from water.
- Change your home’s look. Boost your home’s curb appeal with fresh siding, whether in the same color or a completely different one than your current siding.
- Increase your home’s value. If you’re looking to sell your home soon, replacing your siding can significantly improve your home’s resale value and attract more buyers. In fact, siding replacements yield one of the highest return-on-investment rates of any home improvement project.
- Improve your home’s energy efficiency. Notice any drafts in rooms throughout your home? Unseen gaps or holes in siding will present themselves in the form of high electric bills every month. Sturdy new siding, however, will keep air from free-flowing in and out of your home, making less work for your HVAC unit.
