Types of Vinyl Siding Retex Offers

Vinyl


Vinyl siding is one of the most popular siding material 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 is a type of tough plastic – Polyvinyl Chloride – made from crude oil, and it's designed to withstand winds up to 100 miles per hour. And its moisture resistance means it won't corrode or rot over time.

INSULATED VINYL


Take your traditional vinyl siding and add rigid-foam insulation behind it, and you’ve got insulated vinyl siding.


Insulated vinyl siding 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.

Five Major Signs You Need To Replace Your Siding

 While answering the question, “When should I replace my siding?” largely depends on the type of siding you have, there are certain factors that apply across the board.


Here are the top 5 signs you need to replace your siding.

01

Damaged Boards or Panels

If you notice any physical damage to your siding – whether it’s warping, rotting, or soft to the touch – it’s time to replace it. 

02

Loose, Cracking, Fading, or

Peeling Siding

These are all signs of natural wear-and-tear, from sun exposure and inclement weather to the ebbs and flows of frost and thaw cycles. And if you try to paint your siding but it doesn’t seem to hold, it’s time to replace it.

03

Water or Moisture Damage

Any rotting, mold, or fungal growth on your siding means water is getting past it. This damage may appear as warping, rusting, or swelling, depending on the siding material you have. 

04

Interior Wall Damage

Any moisture damage or mold growth inside your walls could point toward a siding issue, no matter how your siding looks outside. Interior wall damage, including paint peeling or wallpaper bubbling, often points to a serious problem requiring immediate attention.

05

High Energy Bills

Hurting your home’s energy efficiency, overlooked gaps or holes in your siding may present themselves in the form of high utility bills every month. 

FAQs:

Your Vinyl Siding Questions, Answered

  • What's Wrong with Vinyl Siding?

    The major problem associated with vinyl siding is its reported warping and buckilng. However, these issues only arise when the vinyl is installed incorrectly.


    Vinyl siding naturally expands and contracts with temperature changes. If installed correctly, the vinyl will have the ability to move. 


    Meanwhile, insulated vinyl siding's foam helps to stablize the siding from warping or buckling, eliminating the appearance of imperfections. 

  • How Often Do I Need To Update My Home's Vinyl Siding?

    Most vinyl siding products last about 20 to 40 years. And with proper maintenance – occasional cleaning or power washing, repairing as needed, et cetera – vinyl siding may last as many as 50 years. It's important to note: The color of the vinyl may fade over time due to sun exposure, though vinyl siding does not require repainting like its wood counterparts.

  • 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 could potentially break the vinyl. 


    Vinyl may 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 Much Does It Cost To Vinyl Side A House?

    The cost of installing vinyl siding on your home depends on the size of your home, the number of stories, the vinyl siding product and material you choose, and the labor required to install it. While the first two factors won't change, ebbs and flows in the material and labor markets may cause the  cost of a vinyl siding replacement project to change over time.
