What’s the Best Exterior Cladding for Your Forever Home?

January 13, 2020 //  by hallmark

When you know you’re going to be in your home for the rest of your life, you look at home improvement a little differently. Each decision you make is an investment in your long term happiness. When it comes to choosing what exterior cladding makes the most sense for your home, there are several factors to consider.

The first, of course, is appearance. Your home is your largest investment, and you want it to be attractive. In terms of exterior cladding, the traditional choices are wooden clapboard siding and vinyl siding. There are other options, but these are the two most common.

Choosing between the two brings us to some of the other selection criteria. Every family has a budget. High quality vinyl siding is comparable price wise with wooden clapboard siding. Installation costs for vinyl siding are generally lower. To get relevant pricing for your neighborhood, talk to this Burlington siding contractor.

Another factor to take into account is environmental. People are very concerned about the health of the planet, and want to make decisions that reduce their carbon footprint. That doesn’t automatically equate to a choice for wooden clapboard siding. In fact, vinyl siding incorporates recycled material and the industry has made significant strides in reducing the amount of energy required to manufacture siding. To make an exact comparison for your home using specific products, talk to your Burlington siding contractor – they’ll help you choose the best siding for your home.

The third, and potentially most important criteria is maintenance. If you enjoy spending your precious vacation time stripping old paint off of your house and then climbing onto ladders to paint your home every couple of years, wooden siding is definitely for you. Don’t want to DIY it? Count on spending a few thousand dollars regularly to keep the place looking great. Don’t want to spend time or money on your home’s upkeep? Choose vinyl siding. All it needs to stay looking great is a quick hit from the pressure washer when things start looking a little grimy. It’s simple and cheap!
