Which
Siding is Best?
There
are many options to choose from when look at or selecting siding
for your home.
The
best by far hands down is brick. It has great strength and insulating
properties. It also requires the least amount of maintenance.
It is beautiful, but expensive. You can expect to spend at least
30 - 60 percent more for brick over other kinds of siding. It
loses many people at that point.
My
current pick is vinyl siding. It is relatively cheap and easy
to maintain. Just a hose and bleach once a year and you will have
many, many trouble free years. There are so many options now a
days that you can get any color or texture that you can imagine.
You can also create almost any look that you are going after.
There
is another option with vinyl siding. There is a new process that
is a sprayed on vinyl siding. You have seen the spray in lining
for pickups, it is a similar concept. It is guaranteed for the
life of the house and is a really good option in some cases. It
is just pretty dang expensive. In my opinion too expensive for
what you get. For the price that you pay for that it should have
a built in guy to come clean it once a year.
We
have wood siding. Although not the best it is a very good and
easily maintainable option. Just keep it painted and the nail
holes covered and you will not have any problems. Just keeping
moisture out of the wood (like everything else) it will last the
life of the house.
There
are so many options that it will blow your mind. You are only
limited by your pocket book. The key is routine maintenance, and
you will have little to no trouble over the life of the home.
Put it this way, you will be ready to move before you have any
kind of problems.
