vinyl siding in wakefield, ma

One of the most popular home improvements for Attleboro, Massachusetts has to be vinyl siding. Why? Because of its low-maintenance requirements and its long lasting durability in New England weather. Other benefits include, never having to paint or re-side your home again, never having to worry about insects, termites, rot, to name a few – ” it’s no wonder why Attleboro residents choose vinyl siding for their homes.”

Maintenance:

The maintenance required for vinyl siding is virtually minimal. Having said that, the only requirement for up keep is to simply spray your house down with a garden hose annually to keep it clean like the day it was installed. Not to hard right? That sure beats painting your house every 5-10 years – that can become very pricey!

Durability:


One of the main reasons why Attleboro homeowners and contractors choose vinyl siding, is because of its quality and long-lasting durability. Vinyl siding has come a long way in reliability since its arrival to the market in the 1960″s. Vinyl siding nowadays is much stronger than the previous versions of vinyl siding, and is less likely to crack or become dingy overtime.

Cost Effective:
Vinyl siding over the long term can pay itself back relatively quick. For example, in order to properly maintain your existing wood siding you need to paint it every 5-7 years, that can add up quick if you’re thinking long-term. Depending on the size and vinyl siding of choice, the initial cost of vinyl siding can vary. Other benefits include, reducing your homes heating/cooling bill by adding ridged-foam insulation as a backer.

Looks:

Vinyl siding comes in a wide array of options, ranging from the looks of cedar shakes, to the looks of traditional clapboard siding. Vinyl siding also has a lot of color options too, with the colors being baked through the vinyl instead of applied. What that means is the color stays true over a long period of time, resisting the signs of scratches or small imperfections.

Severe Weather Conditions:

Vinyl siding has been known to withstand most weather conditions. Vinyl siding has the ability to withstand high winds of up to 110 mph, and in some cases even higher without having any siding blow-off.

Window & door leaks

January 31, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Hello,

Window and door leaks is a common problem I run into, especially when it rains.

The first assessment I’ll make is: How old is the house, what condition is your home in, do you have proper window & door flashing.

What drives me nuts, is when homeowners or contractors will do the temporary fix and seal the window or door with caulking! A common mistake, to believe caulking will solve the problem is a big misconception.. In this case, caulking will not do the trick, but only prolong the problem further down the road.

So, to conclude this tip, don’t take the short road to solving a problem. Either have a contractor properly solve the problem or do it right the first time yourself.

Vinyl siding

Here is another vinyl siding tip when installing.

When nailing vinyl siding to your home, it is crucial to let your roofing nail protrude 1/8 of an inch, for expansion and contraction.

Have you ever wondered why some vinyl siding looks wavy on some homes? Well, it’s probably caused from nailing your Vinyl siding tight! So, just remember to always leave a space about 1/8th of an inch to prevent that problem..

DIY Vinyl Siding tips

January 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

So, you’ve decided to have or install vinyl siding. With these tips here, you’ll have a smoother and better understanding to installing Vinyl Siding.

Step one:

When considering how to attack this task, one thing to remember is how the final details to the project will look.

Are you going to install the vinyl siding over the existing siding, or will you remove the siding before the new siding goes up?

The reason I ask is, yes it’s cheaper to go over the existing siding, but, what condition is the existing siding in? If it’s rotted you should strip the old siding off. You wouldn’t want the new siding blowing off would you? As an installer of vinyl siding, I know I wouldn’t!

By going over the existing siding, you will create the caved in effect of your windows doors, etc.. Why? Because the siding will project outwards another inch or so, depending on what kind of siding, trim, you may have on your home.

What are other benefits of removing the existing siding before installing Vinyl siding?

Well for starters, if your home is very old, 35+ years, you can inspect your exterior walls for termite damage and rot. Also, before installing you can increase your r-value of your home by installing a foam backer board.

What is a foam backer board? It’s primarily used to increase your homes insulation value and to help straighten your exterior walls out if needed. I always recommend using backer-board when ever I install vinyl siding.
