Vinyl Siding Contractor - Apex Construction

Apex Construction was hired to install vinyl siding on this residential home in Bethany Beach, DE.  As more new homes are built and older homes are refinished, the popularity of vinyl siding is hard to ignore.  Builders have just as many siding options as they’ve always had, probably more, but vinyl siding fits the bill in a majority of cases.  Vinyl siding offers the builders and homeowners benefits that other forms of siding just can’t match.  Contact Apex Construction to discuss your next framing, roofing, or siding project.

Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Obviously, price is one aspect of new siding that has a big effect on the type you get, and even if the project gets done at all.  Vinyl siding is available in different styles designed to fit different budgets. And it is usually less expensive than brick, stucco, aluminum or wood siding.  That’s not to say vinyl siding is cheap, but it is usually possible to set a reasonable budget and stick to it until the house is completed.  This is such a benefit because there are often more jobs being done than just the siding, and inflating the budget on one part will take away from the others, no matter how important it is.

To say that vinyl siding is low maintenance is somewhat of an understatement.  In fact, it is more or less maintenance free.  Vinyl siding never needs to be painted, which also means it never has to be stripped and re-painted.  It also never has to be sealed, and many of the insects that you have to think about with wood siding like termites are never an issue.  If anything, all you will need to do is hose down the siding if it gets muddy due to the weather.

Vinyl siding won’t dent, chip, rot or peel, which means you barely have to do anything to keep it looking fresh and new.  It will also improve the energy efficiency of the home, which will lower heating and cooling bills and may increase the value.  Putting up vinyl siding allows the homeowner to turn his focus to other parts of the property and just let the siding take care of itself.

You won’t find too many people who will say that vinyl siding isn’t pleasing to the eye.  Installing vinyl siding usually breathes new life into a home and gives it a fresh and exciting look.  Depending on your budget, you’ll have a choice between smooth and grained surfaces and high or low gloss in several different profiles.  The variety in styles and patterns enable you to create unique and custom designs that are available in virtually any color you can think of.

Since vinyl siding is designed to cover up the exterior you already have, it gives you the opportunity to completely change your home’s appearance when you decide to put it on.  You may even want to ask for some extra opinions and points of view before you decide to customize your vinyl siding.  There is a lot of potential mixing and matching to do, so you want to be sure that the theme and color patterns you choose be in line with the rest of the house.

In all likelihood, once you have vinyl siding installed you won’t have to think about it again for a long, long time.  That’s partly due to the low maintenance feature, and partly due to the durability of the product.  Statistically, vinyl siding will last about ten times as long as wood siding.  Modern vinyl siding stands up against extreme weather, UV rays from the sun, plus pollutants, salt and other chemicals.

Scratching and denting is also not a concern when it comes to vinyl siding.  Who wouldn’t want siding for their home that costs less, looks great, requires little work and lasts a very long time?  The world of vinyl siding is always changing and evolving, so even if you haven’t been a fan in the past, give it a look before you put that new siding on your house. You just might be surprised at what you find.
