Why vinyl siding works best



Painting your home used to last for approximately 10 years. Unfortunately, the paint was formerly made with poisonous chemicals. These chemicals gave paint a long-lasting and durable effect but also resulted in injury to children and animals who consumed the paint chips. As a result, paint manufacturers were required to remove most of these chemicals from their formulas, so repainting is required much more often. With wood siding, the paint eventually cracks or peels off, fades or even rots. Steel or aluminum siding can get scratched, dented or become rusty.

According to Tim Carter at a you have about 4 years in between exterior paint jobs. Thus the cost of painting increases exponentially. For example, the estimated cost to paint your home is $1,200. Or estimate about 20 gallons of paint to provide 2 coats to an average size house, without labor. With inflation, repainting every 4 years would add up to approximately $14,550 over the next 20 years.

Compared to the cost of years of repainting, vinyl siding is a wise investment. Replacing siding on a home is among the top ten remodeling projects in terms of overall payback. Based on the 2006 Cost vs. Value Report, homeowners in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania typically get a 92% return on their vinyl siding investment. The market value of low maintenance homes has increased dramatically because most homeowners want to spend their time relaxing in their home rather than working on it.



Vinyl siding can range between $1.00 - $2.50 per square foot, which costs a homeowner an estimated average of about $9,000. It is the less expensive alternative to wood or aluminum siding. With it’s easy cleaning, with soap and water, overall durability in any weather and a high return on investment; vinyl siding is a definite and beautiful benefit that adds instant curb appeal to your home.
