Increase Curb Appeal with Great Siding

One of the best ways to increase the curb appeal of your home is to give it a new exterior look. Whether you’re ready to sell or just want to give your home a facelift, a new exterior and updated windows can completely change its outward character.

•Better Insulation When replacing your home’s exterior, it offers the opportunity for the addition of more and better insulation. Also, as siding ages, it can allow water to seep into the underlying timbers of the home, leading to rot and other problems. Giving your home an exterior makeover allows you to find these problems, and give them the attention they need before they become insurmountable.

•Benefits of New Siding Replacing the exterior of your home can have added benefits that may not be as obvious as the improved look of the home’s façade. These include increased energy efficiency and the opportunity to find and repair any damage that has occurred to the structure of the home. Homes that were built during times of cheap, plentiful energy may lack much of the insulation that you might expect to have in your home.

•Fiber Cement Siding The use of fiber cement material is quickly gaining in popularity and has consistently been shown to provide one of the best possible increases in your home’s value for your investment dollar. Giving your home an updated, fresh look is easy when you enlist the help of professionals, and it can mean the difference between a home that feels like home, and a house that makes you cringe every time you pull into your driveway.

•Whole Home Protection Your home is protected with a full net of properly-installed components, such as windows, gutters, and roofing. Each of these components can greatly increase the appeal and value of your home, while offering complete protection for its underlying structure. In the metro Atlanta area, the weather can vary greatly from season to season, and protecting your home is an important aspect of keeping your heating and cooling costs under control. More importantly, performing proper repairs and upgrades to the exterior of your home can help protect the interior of your home, as well as the rest of your belongings.
