A fresh exterior can make your home seem new again. It can relieve you of the hassle of constant painting, provide greater curb appeal, offer energy savings, and enhance the value of your property. There are lots of reasons to consider changing your home’s exterior, but how do you know if you need new siding? Here are some indications:

• There are damaged sections that need repair.
• Existing siding requires excessive maintenance.
• Your home needs additional insulation (certain rooms in your home are too warm or too cold or you have areas of blistering wallpaper or peeling paint). New siding can increase the insulating ability, or R-value, of your home.
• Existing siding has dry rot, insect damage, staining, shows uneven weathering, buckling, or decay.

If you decide to replace your home’s exterior, there are a number of things to consider. What look do you want? Do you want your home to stand out or blend in? What’s your budget? How long will you live in your home? What type of climate do you live in?
