The process of repairing home siding can be daunting depending on a number of areas. However, where does a homeowner begin to address siding repair issues?
In house siding repairs we like to say the first step in siding repair begins in identifying what sort of material the siding is made of or who manufactured it. Many of the popular siding types have a specific range of common problems brought about by different reasons that contrast with their advantages.
For example, vinyl siding and plastic siding are considered the most common types of siding used in building homes today. Yes, vinyl siding and plastic siding are low costing and have low maintenance, some types are not as durable as other siding materials like wood. Wood might be considered a tougher material, but it will require being treated by a professional every few years to prevent insects and the environment from breaking down the integrity.
Other homes have metal siding, like aluminum siding or steel siding. But again, depending on the manufacturer it may need to be treated every and could possibly dent and rust.
The most durable siding would be a masonry form like brick which can last against time and the weather elements. However, brick is the most costly and requires a professional to repair if damaged.
In the end, the style and type of siding you select to have on your home is a personal preference. Yes, future repairs should be considered, but the amount of future maintenance, the upfront investment and the overall beauty should also be thought about as well. Professionals like Starkweather and Sons Roofing and Siding can help you through all the details today and tomorrow.
