The decision to replace your siding is no small feat. It can be costly to get it replaced, but more costly to leave it and have the weather damage your walls. Here are some tell-tale signs that you should get your siding inspected by a professional siding company, like ours. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out and speak to an estimator today.
This is the simplest way to know that they have a problem. This is because the inspection process is a straight forward process as all you look out for are cracks and rotten wood. If you touch the clad and it gives in, then it is time to call a siding installer.
If you spot fungus or mold, then you need to give us a call immediately. This is because mold and mildew thrive where there is plenty of moisture, meaning that the covering used is not as effective as it is supposed to. Keep in mind that mold is a dangerous fungus that can cause respiratory infections.
A sure sign that you need to call a siding installation company is when you spot bubbles forming on the wall. Bubbles are caused by moisture, meaning that the siding allows water to pass through, contrary to what it is supposed to do. A siding installation company should inspect the affected area and make recommendations such as using metal siding or replacing and re-installing the entire panels.
Depending on the type of panels used, we can decide to replace or repaint them if they are in good shape. One type of siding that can be easily repainted is vinyl.
When your energy bills have suddenly increased, you need to investigate the reason. If insulation is still intact and crawl spaces are also insulated, then it's time to suspect your siding. Remember, clads prevent warm air from escaping and cold air from entering the house. If they allow warm air to escape, then it is time to consider replacing them.
Installing new siding does not come cheap. However, this is not to say that it does not have any return on investment. New siding can increase the value of your home by more than 80%. Experienced real estate investors will tell you that buying a house is done emotionally and justified logically. If the first thing a property buyer sees is a dilapidated house, then emotionally, the house has no value.
If you are planning to reduce your energy bill, then you should also insulate your home. Consider wall panels as extra insulation for your property. For the cooling effect to be felt, then attic insulation should be done, crawl spaces insulated and wall cavities filled with blown-in insulation.
Apart from increasing the curb appeal of your property, clads also improves its structural stability. New panels give your home a brighter look making it look as if it is unique. An increased curb appeal results in increased admiration among your neighbors and will increase the re-sale value of your home.
Vinyl siding installation is a complicated job that experienced vinyl siding installers should only do. Vinyl is an inexpensive but versatile material. It is suitable for use as a retrofit because it can be installed over already existing panels. It can be installed in three main ways: horizontal, vertical, or as a shingle or shake. It can accommodate a wide range of colors and textures. For example, it can mimic cedar shingles, logs, and wooden planks.
As an experienced vinyl installer, I can tell you, for a matter of fact, that it is almost impossible to give an accurate cost. Several factors determine the final price:
However, for a 2,000 – 2,500 square foot house, expect the cost to be around $15,000 - $26,000. If the house is 2,500 – 3,500 square foot the cost can be around $26,000 - $35,500. For houses bigger than 4,000 square foot the price can range between $40,000 - $50,000. To get a clear estimate, give us a call, and we will inspect your property.
