Professional Siding Installation with Empire Roofing & More

Your home’s siding can be viewed as its skin. It’s what gives your home its general appearance — which is why old, damaged, and faded siding can depreciate the physical appeal and the value of a home considerably. However, siding also plays an important role in the home beyond simply improving your exterior aesthetics.

Benefits of Good Siding

For one thing, siding is greatly responsible for the energy costs of heating and cooling a home. Thin siding, or ill-fitting siding that has gaps in it, is often responsible for a high amount of air leakage– and letting hot or cold air escape means having to pay much more in energy bills.

There are also a host of other things that good siding can contribute towards your home. For instance:

• It protects your property from airborne debris, moisture, and rain.
• It can shield you from loud exterior noises.
• It can be fitted with additional insulation for another layer of protection for the home and its occupants.

That’s why being smart about choosing your type of siding is important.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is one of the most popular options among homeowners in the U.S., mainly because of its relatively low price and its low maintenance requirements. Cost-wise, vinyl siding can suit practically any budget, and its shape and appeal can last for decades with just an occasional spray cleaning.

Installation is comparatively easy, requiring few, if any, specialty tools. The panels click together and nail to the side of the house and, just as in a roofing system, each piece covers the nails of the piece next to it, providing the strength and durability to withstand wind, heat, cold, and sun while retaining its aesthetic features.

Advances in technology have made it possible for vinyl siding to be developed in various profiles: Choose among traditional clapboard or Dutch lap, scallop or wood shake look vinyl, and other available profile options. Since they’re available in a large color palette, you can easily find a look to match your desires.
