REPLACEMENT & INSTALLATION PROJECTS
For most home and business owners, aesthetic appeal takes first priority in the hunt for a new exterior. While appearance is, of course, a very important consideration, it is wise to make sure that it does not become the sole focus. A new exterior is also quite beneficial to the structure of your home, helping to protect it from damage and decay. As you contemplate which materials to use on your home, keep local climate and weather patterns in mind. Materials tolerate different weather in different ways and it is good to be aware of their strengths and weaknesses. If your home is going to be baking in the sun or buried under a pile of snow, these are important things to take into consideration. Talk about local weather with your Kansas City Siding expert. We are always happy to help our clients with any questions or concerns.
Fiber cement (James Hardie), vinyl, and natural wood siding are the most popular exterior materials in Kansas City. They each have a number of pros and cons but are wonderful products overall. One of the areas where differences are most notable is upkeep requirements. Vinyl siding is the easiest to maintain, requiring nothing but an occasional hosing down or wipe with a wet rag. James Hardie siding is the second easiest to maintain, requiring the same water treatment as vinyl, but with a power washer to do the job properly. Natural wood is the most high-maintenance siding option, with staining and painting required on a regular basis.
