The proper type of Siding for your Home

The exterior of your home faces a constant barrage of threats from the hot sun, strong winds, precipitation and the winter cold. As such, your house siding must be strong and durable. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful even decades into its life. 

If you are thinking of new siding, you need to keep in mind that your choice will likely be a major upgrade in your home's appearance but it's not an easy decision to make. There are lots of siding options, and each presents a mixed bag of cost, reliability, ongoing maintenance and environmental responsibility.

At SMART CHOICE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY located in Atlanta, we give you some information that you need to know about options for new siding:

1. Vinyl:

Vinyl siding is tough and comes in a boatload of colors and textures. Because the color is throughout the material, nicks and scratches don't show up. Sophisticated manufacturing techniques create products that do a surprisingly fine job of mimicking wood grain lap siding, wood shingles and even stone. Vinyl siding is lightweight and, in many instances, can be installed directly over existing materials.

2. Fiber Cement:

Fiber cement has earned a reputation for stability and low maintenance. It's made from a mix of wood pulp, cement, clay and sand, and it can be molded to mimic wood clapboard, shingles, stucco and masonry. It readily accepts paint, and most manufacturers offer an array of factory-applied finishes.

3. Stucco:

Stucco is an extremely durable siding material that pairs well with other siding materials and adds a bit of architectural panache to a retrofit job. Today's stucco mixtures include epoxy, which prevents chipping and cracking, but installation isn't a DIY job, you'll need to look for an experienced stucco installer. Well-maintained stucco will last a lifetime.
