Siding can last for more than 20 years, depending on the material used and the quality of installation. This is excellent news, as siding is an expensive home improvement project. With so much time between replacement, homeowners can become complacent with their siding.
The truth is that if you want to protect your home’s foundation and inside, you’ll need to replace all siding at some point.
There are numerous aspects to consider when deciding which type of siding is ideal for your home and who should install it. Here, you’ll learn all you need to know about siding replacements before making a decision.
If properly cared for, siding can last well over 20 years. All siding materials, however, will need to be changed at some point. If your siding is more than two decades old, or if you detect any of the difficulties listed below, it’s time to call a siding replacement expert.
When it comes to siding replacements, you’ll have to choose from a few distinct options. Each material has advantages and disadvantages, so consider all the options to pick the one that best suits your taste, lifestyle, and budget.
Since Vinyl Siding is almost maintenance-free, it is the most popular choice in the United States. Water, mold, rot, and insects are all resistant to the PVC, which is available in many colors and designs, from typical Dutchlap to scalloped trim that looks like classic wood.
Light, low-density softwood is used to make cedar siding. This material is an excellent insulator and acoustic barrier due to its open cell structure and density. Although cedarwood has many natural benefits, most people chose it for its aesthetic value. Green Eco Solutions offer a Cedar-Impressions Vinyl Shingle alternative.
Hardie Board™, commonly known as fiber cement siding, is made mostly of sand and concrete, making it fire, insect, and rot-resistant. Fiber cement siding is not energy-efficient, requires maintenance, and can hold moisture if not properly installed.
Foam-backed siding combines the low-maintenance and cleanability of Vinyl Siding with the thermal advantages of foam insulation. Foam-backed insulation may be the appropriate solution for you if you have high electric costs or specific rooms in your house that are cooler in the winter or warmer in the summer. Vinyl Siding with Silver Shield from Green Eco Solutions can help save homeowners up to 30% on their energy bills.
The majority of siding material discussions center on the siding panels themselves Depending on the materials you choose, there is a lot of variety in lifespan, durability, and cost. It is also vital to remember that siding replacements are part of a larger system. The top layer of your siding isn’t all there is to it. Here are the other components of your siding system:
The plywood or cement Backerboard is affixed to the outer wall with studs and sits behind the external siding panels.
The strip of wood that seals the joints where the siding panels attach on wood siding. The term “board and batten” refers to wood boards with battens between them, which are used to cover the spaces between them.
The trim can also be referred to as a channel. The siding is inserted into the portion of the trim or corner post.
Before the siding is completed, an L-shaped flashing is installed over windows and doors to prevent moisture from leaking in where the siding and doors or windows meet.
Fascia is a term used to describe the wooden boards that run along the top perimeter of a building, right beneath the shingles. Fascia Board covers the ends of the rafters at the eaves.
Flashing is the thin layer that directs water away from the intersection of siding and roof parts. Metal flashing is usually made from galvanized steel, aluminum, or copper.

It is difficult to know how much it will cost to replace your siding. You will need to consider the type of siding, labor costs, and the specifics of your home. To begin, think about how the following factors may affect the price of your siding replacement.

Finally, Vinyl Siding is usually the least expensive option, while supporting the same durability as wood and fiber cement siding.

It may seem simple, but the size of the area where siding needs to be replaced has an impact on the cost. The cost of siding is determined by the square foot, so the more you need, the more it will cost.
Make sure the removal and disposal of your old siding is covered in your contract. Getting rid of harmful siding, like asbestos, can increase the cost of your project.
A permit is usually required whenever considerable work is done on a residence, though this is not the case in every county or state. Permits should be pulled for your by a skilled siding replacement business; nevertheless, permits do cost money. You may also be required by the city or county to have an inspection of the work after it is completed.
It is recommended to acquire an estimate from a professional when trying to figure out how much it will cost to replace your siding. Unlike some contractors who simply eyeball your home’s exterior to provide an initial quote, Green Eco Solutions consultants inspect and measure your home to provide you with a quote that includes all of the necessary information upfront.
It’s time to choose who you’ll hire after you’ve chosen your products, gotten price estimates from contractors, and looked through warranties. For many homeowners, determining which companies are good and which are bad is the most difficult part of the process. It is all about trust when it comes to siding contractors. Which contractor or remodeler will go above to provide complete transparency and take the time to walk you through the entire process?
Going through a thorough inspection procedure is one method that good siding contractors use to establish confidence with potential clients. You can’t be sure that the estimate or proposal you receive is accurate until your contractor takes measurements and inspects the whole outside of your property. Too many contractors will get away with low-cost estimates and obtain new work solely based on pricing. That may work for some homeowners, but the greatest alternative for protecting and increasing the value of your property is to hire the most reputable contractor.
