Types of Siding to Choose From

There are three different types of siding that are used in Canada and Coquitlam, BC. These are vinyl, wood, and metal sidings. Each type of siding has its own set of pros and cons depending on the amount of maintenance you want to put into it, the longevity, and the look you are going for. Luckily for you, though, Siding Pros of Richmond are well versed in the installation and repair of all three types of siding. To help you begin to make your decision on what siding style might be for you. Here are the benefits of each type of siding and a few drawbacks to keep in mind too.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl is one of the most common materials for residential siding in both the United States and Canada. It is made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a strong plastic material that does a great job of providing a home with protection from the weather or elements. Vinyl siding comes in a wide range of colours to choose from, making it easy to customize the look of your home. It is also nearly fire resistant as it will not ignite until 750 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, vinyl is a relatively inexpensive option for residential siding. The cost will, of course, vary depending on the size of your home, but it could start under $10,000 for a full installation.

Wood Siding

Wood siding gives your home a classic finished look. With up to seven different types of wood and seven different styles of siding, there are many combinations available to achieve your desired aesthetic. Wood siding can also be painted or stained for an extra level of customization that may not be available in other types of siding. While wood siding offers an eco-friendly and renewable source for siding, it does require a bit more maintenance over time.

Metal Siding

Metal siding comes in the form of aluminum and steel. They are both very durable materials that provide excellent protection to your home. If you are looking for a more unique look for you home, metal will do that for your property. Metal siding comes in a variety of styles or finishes to meet your needs and requires minimal maintenance. If not treated properly, it may be susceptible to rust but is completely pest and fireproof, and it will not rot or warp over time.

Siding Repair and Replacement

There are four main reasons why you might consider getting your siding fixed or replaced. The tipping point of replacement vs repair will depend on the advice of a trained siding installer, but generally, if there is major damage or the issues go below a surface-level repair, then a complete replacement of your siding may be required. We don't recommend a full siding replacement lightly, we take a lot of factors into consideration. As fellow homeowners we understand that the cost of repairs is usually less money and it depends on the budget a client is able to invest into these changes. Here are some of the things we look at when assessing the best solution for your home.

Fungus, mold and mildew

This is never a good thing. Depending on the severity, it may mean that your siding is not doing the vital job of protecting your home from the elements. Surface-level mold may be easy enough to clean and remove, but if it has permeated your siding, then a full replacement may be necessary.

Curb Appeal

Whether you intend to sell your house in the near future or just want it to look nice, siding upgrades can make a big difference. If the outside of your home looks a little worse for wear, then it is unlikely that potential buyers will be interested in seeing the interior. In terms of home improvement, siding replacement offers one of the best returns on investment when you sell your home.

Warping, cracks and rot

The main job of your siding is to shield your home from the weather and elements outside; if your siding is full of cracks, gaps or rot, then it is very likely that it is no longer doing its job. As siding warps and cracks, it allows pests and moisture to enter your home, potentially causing a whole host of other problems.

Water/weather damage

If your siding is showing signs of water or weather damage, then you’ll want to get it repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Water damage will not fix itself and will just get worse with time. It might appear in the form of mold, rot or missing sections of siding if the weather is particularly bad.

Whatever type of damage you see on your home, it is essential to call Siding Pros of Richmond as soon as possible to stop the damage from getting worse. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you’ll need additional repairs to maintain the integrity of your home, and that can get extra pricy. Your siding protects your home from more than just the weather. Keeping your insulation, vapor barrier, framing and internal walls from seeing any type of damage as we spoke about above.
