If you’ve been hesitant to get new siding before the season changes and fall arrives, here are some reasons to go ahead and do it.
Labor Day is about two weeks away. Even though there’s still about a month left of summer, meteorologically speaking, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. If you’ve been hesitant to get new siding before the season changes and fall arrives, here are some reasons to go ahead and do it.
More Curb Appeal
Depending on how old your home is, it could do with a facelift. Even if you want to keep living in your current home for the next twenty years, enhancing your home’s curb appeal can help you draw the admiration of your neighbors. If you’re looking to move out, then new siding can help give your house a fresh new look that can attract potential buyers.
Less Damage
Summer thunderstorms can take their toll on your home’s siding. Eventually, all of that damage will add up and your siding will need to be replaced. This new layer of siding can help reduce the amount of damage that affects your home’s aesthetic and resale value.
Besides, you don’t want to see mold and mildew creep into your home’s interior because that exterior siding has failed. Broken siding also allows insulation to wear down, meaning more cold air and rain can enter your home during the fall and winter, causing even more water damage. At some point, even your foundations will come under attack by the forces of nature invading your house. Protect your house and reduce the risk of allergies and illnesses keeping your family down for the count by getting some new siding installed.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Older homes could use also use a boost when it comes to energy efficiency. If you’re wondering how to keep more air and light in, then you could think about getting replacement windows and replacement siding. If you add enough weather sealing to your home, then you could stand to save around 30% on your energy bills. That might not sound like much, but it can make a tremendous difference especially when you already feel squeezed by all of the other bills you need to pay. When you have better exteriors, your home is better insulated against the weather. The next time a hail storm blows through your neighborhood, you’ll be glad you have new siding.
