Would you rather spend your weekends on the golf course or repainting and touching up your house? If I told you that you could protect the exterior of your home from damage and wear for 20 years or more, would you believe me?

Well, I am about to give you some advice that if adhered to, can free up your weekends for many years to come. The answer, my friends, is vinyl siding.

Of all the exterior siding options available, vinyl siding offers many advantages that will prolong the pristine look to the exterior of your home and it will preserve your wallet, too. If you are considering investing in vinyl siding, read these benefits and learn why vinyl siding owns approximately 32% of the American siding market … (hint: the reasons are aplenty).

 

  • Vinyl Siding Has Come a Long Way, Baby

 

 

 

    • When vinyl siding was first introduced in the 1950s, many opponents balked at its propensity to crack, buckle, or fade. Changes in its chemistry and improved installation techniques, however, have made vinyl siding of yore obsolete, and today, it is considered one of the most durable siding options for homes on the market.

 

    • Vinyl Versus Aluminum

Contrary to aluminum siding, vinyl siding does not conduct heat or cold, thereby lessening the chance for lost heating and cooling energy; this, of course can be very costly and irksome. If that does not sway you, consider this: the color is built into vinyl siding, which means you do not have to repaint … ever; this is not the case with aluminum siding. If you have to repaint your aluminum siding, which you will, in addition to the price of gallons of paint, you must spend countless hours prepping, priming, and washing the entire surface of your home in order for the paint to adhere to the material.

 

    • Vinyl Versus Wood

Alas, if you are a diehard believer in wood facades, vinyl siding has one up on that competition, too. Wood fluctuates according to temperatures (swelling when it is hot; shrinking when it is cold). When this happens, extreme warping can occur, which can lead to unsightly damage and expensive repairs. Similarly, wood siding and windows need to be repainted at least every five years; vinyl never requires that, nor is it prone to scratching, rotting, or peeling the way aluminum and wood siding can.

 

    • But What About Price?

Not only are vinyl siding options low maintenance (an occasional washing will suffice), but the return on investment nearly surpasses that of other exteriors (nearly 70% according to MSN, and almost 100% according to other sources). The initial price point for mid grade vinyl siding options are far more inexpensive, too (approximately three times cheaper than wood, such as high grade cedar).
