How Winter Affects Different Types of Siding
As the winter season approaches, choosing the right siding for your home is crucial.
At C&C Family Roofing we know plenty about siding, roofing and guttering. We provide quality, professional and expert services in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey areas, including siding in Hatboro, PA.
Types of Siding
As a siding contractor, we are skilled at identifying the best siding for your home, assessing your current siding for repairs or replacements, and working with and installing different types of siding.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is an exterior thermoplastic wall cladding. It’s a durable, low-maintenance, versatile and low-cost option for your home that is extremely popular throughout the United States.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding is another exterior cladding alternative that comes in sheets or boards for homes that need siding in Hatboro, PA and the surrounding areas.
It is durable, customizable, and comes in a variety of textures from wood grain, to smooth to stucco-like. Additionally, it is fire and termite-resistant and doesn’t rot.
Stucco
Stucco, an exterior plaster cement, is another type of siding. Our expertise lies in stucco remediation, restoring stucco siding integrity and repairing underlying damage so your home can look good again.
Benefits of Vinyl Siding
Our clients love vinyl siding for many reasons. It’s a low-cost option when you are on a budget, and it’s also energy efficient, which means you could reduce your energy bill when you install vinyl siding and improve your home’s insulation.
Likewise, vinyl siding can withstand winter weather conditions, and doesn’t require much maintenance. There are different colors, textures and styles available to choose from, and vinyl siding is not one-size-fits-all.
How Will Winter Affect My Siding?
Even the sturdiest of sidings may require some maintenance after a hard Pennsylvania winter. Excess cold and dampness can warp vinyl siding, or cause cracks when water seeps in during freezing/thawing cycles if they aren’t installed or sealed correctly.
Winter can also make siding look grimy, and your boards may need regular cleaning and a protective coating to maintain long-term durability.
Also, household pests will be looking for a warm spot in winter, and will take advantage of any cracks, gaps or openings in the siding caused by extreme weather conditions.
Does My Siding Need Replacing?
Identifying whether you need a new siding installation or need siding maintenance from your local siding contractor doesn’t need to be a head scratcher.
A regular assessment for visible siding damage, fading, cracks and/or holes in your siding can help you identify potential problems before they become long-term headaches.
