Find Your Best Siding
Beyond protecting your home from the elements, siding is rapidly becoming a prominent component of exterior design.
These days, there are as many types of siding as there are home styles and budgets. When you want to add not just color but character to your home, siding is the perfect way to make a statement.
Pre-siding considerations.
They fall into two main categories: short-term and long-term. Consider the relative ease, cost and safety of installation. Think about how well the available colors and textures match with the architecture of your home: curb appeal is very real and very important. How about the climate in your area and the effect it will have (if any) on the siding material? Finally, think about the maintenance costs of the siding over the time you will spend in your home.
