2. 5 Profitable Benefits to Upgrading Your Siding
When it comes to home maintenance necessities, home siding plays an essential role in keeping your family safe, comfortable and dry.
Defending against the harsh seasonal elements, the quality and performance of your siding can also have an impact on the aesthetic, efficiency and overall resale value of your home!
Although a proper installation and maintenance routine can keep your siding functioning optimally for a number of years, there will come a time when your siding may fall victim to the very threats they were designed to repel.
Fortunately, there are a number of profitable benefits to be gained from updating your home siding with a fresh, new replacement!
At T. Simpson Roofing Ltd, we pride ourselves on helping clients maintain safe, comfortable and energy-efficient homes.
To help you better understand the warning signs of deteriorating siding, the following article will identify the common reasons to replace your home siding, as well as 5 profitable reasons to invest in an upgrade:
Common Reasons to Replace Your Home Siding
Holes, Cracks and Gaps:
While cracked and damaged siding may be unsightly to look at, the appearance of any holes, cracks or siding gaps mean much more than just an aesthetic concern.
When your home siding is showing signs of damage and/or deterioration, it becomes much more vulnerable to the risks of water damage, mold, critters, insects and energy inefficiencies.
Unfortunately, these issues are also subject to even further problems if left unresolved.
To best protect the safety and structural integrity of your home, it is very important for residential homeowners to schedule routine maintenance inspections to ensure that their property is always well-protected throughout the seasons.
Requires Too Much Maintenance or Repairs:
With a professional installation, most siding materials can last for a number of years with proper maintenance and care.
However, there may eventually come a point where repairs can no longer solve the problem and a new, energy-efficient replacement is necessary!
With modern advancements in low-maintenance siding, our vinyl and Celect® cellular composite siding replacements provide reliable, easy-to-clean solutions that will keep your home looking (and feeling) great for decades to come.
Mold, Moisture & Water Damage:
While water damage might be a common problem for residential homeowners to face, it is very important to understand how long-term exposure may impact our overall health.
As mold and mildew contain toxic bacteria that thrive in damp environments, long-term health risks can range from minor allergic reactions, inflammation, neurological problems and/or even possible death.
To best protect your family and property, it is highly recommended that homeowners contact a professional to isolate, remove and/or replace any water-damaged elements on your property.
Skyrocketing Energy Expenses:
While many siding-related problems are visible to the naked eye, efficiency problems can be a bit trickier to spot.
Although some clear indications include uncomfortable drafts near windows, walls or electrical receptacles, the biggest indicator would be any strange increases to your electricity bill.
With new siding and improved insulation, a replacement will not only make you more comfortable within the interior of your home, but it will help you save quite a bit of money as well!
Desire for Higher Resale Value:
Planning to move in the near future?
Improving the aesthetic and/or efficiency of your home are both excellent ways to increase potential resale value; and by replacing your broken and/or outdated siding, you are actually doing both!
From improving curb appeal to increasing overall energy-efficiency, the following section will identify 5 profitable benefits to upgrading your home siding:
5 Profitable Benefits to Upgrading Your Siding
1. Increases Curb Appeal
When it comes to the real estate market, first impressions can make a world of a difference!
As homes with greater curb appeal tend to quickly grab the attention of potential homebuyers (especially in the GTA), it is not uncommon for these homes to also sell faster, for more money, and often result in a multiple-offer bidding war.
At T. Simpson Roofing, our wide variety of siding products come in a number of modern materials, colours and styles; creating options for just about every style of home.
2. Increases Insulation & Energy-Efficiency
As modern siding materials contain increased insulation features, home siding replacements provide exceptional support in reducing energy consumption within the home.
With less pressure on your heating and cooling systems to maintain comfortable temperatures, upgrading your home with new siding can also drastically repair any skyrocketing energy bills caused by damage or inefficiency.
While these expenses add up overtime, maintaining a highly energy-efficient home can help to save a great deal of money in the long-term.
3. Increases Weather Resistance
In addition to insulation and energy-efficiency, modern siding materials also provide exceptional protection from harsh and changing weather conditions.
As older siding materials are not designed to withstand long-term exposure to snow, water and ice, it is important to consider how each material option will stand up against the requirements of your environment.
From heat and precipitation to snow, ice and wind, our siding replacement products are designed with Canadian seasons in mind.
4. Decreases Maintenance Expenses
While older siding may require a few maintenance repairs every now and then, a great benefit to replacing your siding is that (with the right materials and installation process), it’s virtually maintenance-free!
When choosing one of our siding replacement products, homeowners are guaranteed the benefits of quality, durability, affordability and reliability.
Without the risk of any chipping paint (that is often found with wood siding alternatives), our vinyl and Celect® cellular composite siding are also very easy to clean.
5. Long-Term Protection
Updating your home with new siding is like protecting your property with a new suit of armour.
While the short-term benefits include optimized comfort and utility expenses, it is important to note how this long-lasting upgrade may look to potential home buyers as well!
As newer siding will imply a longer performance life, renovating your home with energy-efficient siding will help to increase your home’s overall property value for when you are ready to sell.
