Midlothian Siding Replacement

SIDING REPLACEMENT IN MIDLOTHIAN, VA

Your home’s siding acts as a protective barrier against Mother Nature for you and your family, but it can only do so much when it’s old, worn down, and weathered. If you notice rot, cracks, gaps, drafts near walls and windows, or siding that no longer lies flat, it may be time to have your siding replaced.


Replacing your siding gives your home a whole new look, extends your home’s resilience against Mother Nature, increases its energy efficiency, and lowers your maintenance costs.

Types of Siding Retex Offers

VERSATILE VINYL


Vinyl siding is one of the most popular options, in part due to its durability, affordability and low maintenance. Plus, it comes in dozens of colors, so you can pick your favorite.  It offers both an easy installation product and it's the least-expensive siding product on the market today. It also comes with low-maintenance costs, only needing a power wash every five years or so.

Insulated vinyl Siding


Take your traditional vinyl siding and add rigid-foam insulation behind it, and you’ve got insulated vinyl siding. It will help lower your heating and cooling costs as well as level the wall behind the siding, hiding any imperfections that may occur when walls shift and homes settle over time. The foam also helps your siding withstand impacts from balls, rocks, and any other object that may damage it.

CUSTOM WOOD SIDING: LP SMARTSIDE


An acronym for Louisiana-Pacific, the manufacturing company behind SmartSide, LP Smartside siding offers a home exterior wood siding option without the maintenance or cost attached to your standard wood. Its cedar base means it’s not fire-resistant, but it is considered one of the greener siding options, with wax, resin, zinc borate, and other binders keeping the wood protected and resistant to insects and rot. Its cost lies between vinyl and HardiePlank.

DURABLE FIBER CEMENT


HardiePlank siding is a popular siding material made from fiber cement, and it can last for up to 50 years with proper maintenance. The material is resistant to rot, fire, and pests, making it a durable and long-lasting option for many homes. The maintenance required for HardiePlank siding is fairly minimal. It should be washed at least once a year with a mixture of water and mild soap.

  • Why Should I Reside My Home?

    The most common reason to reside your home is that the current siding is failing, whether it’s cracking, rotting, or rusting. When siding starts to fail, it’s important to take care of it sooner rather than later so further damage can be prevented.

Meanwhile, metal siding lasts an extremely long time without much maintenance, but it is pretty rare in and around the Richmond area.

  • How Do I Maintain My Vinyl Siding?

    Vinyl tends to collect algae over the years, so the best remedy for this is to use a light bleach solution in a power washer with a “soft tip.”  You don’t want too much pressure because it can actually break the vinyl. 


    Vinyl tends to look chalky over time as the color starts to fade, but it can be painted with the correct type of paint. It’s best to consult with a siding professional before taking this massive project on yourself.

  • How Will Updating My Siding Change Its Look?

    Siding is the most noticeable exterior feature of a home. You can see it from every angle, so it’s really important that it looks nice.
