When looking for ways to boost home efficiency and value, a new siding installation is a beneficial investment. As a fun project for home improvement enthusiasts, the siding can have a style and color that reflects your personal tastes. Here’s what you should know about why you should install new siding. 

Saves Money

A new siding installation can actually keep more money in your bank account over time. The new surfaces are free of gaps, cracks, and additional imperfections, preventing heat transfer and air loss. The added insulation increases the R-value of your home, which is the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. This way, you don’t have to rely on HVAC equipment as often, which keeps heating and cooling costs low. During storms, the covering keeps rain from seeping into the property infrastructure, preventing the need for costly water damage restoration and repairs. During installation, contractors could also unearth minor problems that need to be addressed before they become expensive headaches. By developing a relationship with the contractor, you could also get discounts on other home renovations. 

Increases Home Value 

New wood, fiberglass, or vinyl siding will completely transform the look of the property facade. If you ever decide to sell, the added curb appeal will increase property value. As it’s one less improvement the new owner has to make, they might also be willing to pay more for your house. Seeing how new siding revamps your home could also prompt neighbors to follow suit, increasing the equity of the entire neighborhood, making the areas more desirable.
