4 Ways Siding Benefits Your Home

Replacing your home’s siding is an important and often rewarding part of keeping it looking attractive and functioning well over the years. It can also help protect your home from harsh weather conditions, pests, and energy loss while enhancing its curb appeal. 

In this blog post, siding and window replacement contractor Roof Masters discusses some of the biggest benefits you get with new siding. 

1. Siding Prevents Moisture Damage

Moisture is the enemy of any home. A poorly sealed house may succumb to its damaging effects, including mold, mildew, and rot. Good siding is designed with an extra layer of material that acts as a moisture-proof barrier that seals out water and outdoor pollutants. This protects your home from potential damage caused by heavy rain or snow, as well as prevents the growth of mold, mildew, and fungus. 

2. Siding Protects Against Pests

Insects and rodents can easily enter a home through unsealed gaps and cracks, which can cause damage to the structure and increase potential health hazards for those living inside. Siding provides a tight seal around windows, doors, and other entry points to help keep out these unwanted guests. Some materials like vinyl and fiber cement are rigid and solid enough to withstand not just moisture but also pest infestations. 

3. Siding Provides Better Insulation

Just like new roofing, high-quality siding also helps improve the energy efficiency of your home. This doubled layer of insulation reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool your home and minimizes heat transfer throughout the year.

4. Siding Enhances Curb Appeal

Siding plays an integral role in your property’s visual appeal. With so many siding materials and profiles to choose from, you can easily match or contrast the existing features of your home. If you decide to sell in the future, this investment can play a role in facilitating a faster sale. After all, newer features are appealing to home buyers.
