Explore popular types of home siding before deciding on which is best for your home.
Finding the best type of siding for your home is a big decision and can often feel overwhelming. Where can you start? The primary factors to consider include durability, aesthetic value, cost, and necessary maintenance. The types of home siding all have different advantages in these areas. Before discussing your home siding choices with Jim Amos Contracting, consider the following traits of the most popular types of siding to narrow down your search.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is a popular choice, seen on many American homes. It is a form of plastic siding often seen on homes that need weatherproof protection because of regular precipitation. Vinyl siding comes in a range of colors, so it can create the design you want. Vinyl is also relatively inexpensive and is fire-resistant. When installing vinyl siding, you must remember that it may not be able to withstand frequent harsh weather conditions and is vulnerable to mold growth if you do not install a waterproof seal.
Wood Siding
Wood is one of the oldest types of home siding. It’s versatile and can be stained or painted to match your design goals. You can also choose different styles, like shingles or vertical boards. Wood siding is the most combustible siding material, however, and does require regular maintenance and repainting as time goes on. When wood siding is well maintained, though, it can last for 20 to 40 years before replacement.
Brick Siding
Brick is a classic type of home siding material and is popular largely for its durability. Brick siding is relatively low maintenance and doesn’t need to be regularly repainted. Brick can also increase your home’s value when compared to other siding types, partially because it is one of the more expensive types of home siding. You will want to include a waterproof sealant to make sure your brick siding stays effective.
