Enhance Your Home With New Siding
Siding is an integral aspect of any house. It protects it from the elements, shapes its curb appeal, retains the home’s value, and determines its energy efficiency. A good siding material that’s properly installed will last for many decades, but as that material nears the end of its expected life, experts recommend that you replace it proactively rather than waiting for it to fail.

• Curb Appeal
When it comes to the benefits of siding replacement, curb appeal is the most prominent. It is a fundamental aspect of a home’s aesthetic and allows you to adjust the design based on the type of siding you choose and characteristics like color and texture.
• Property Value
The siding on your house is also an essential component of overall property value. The real estate industry estimates that replacing your siding will increase property value by between 60% and 85% of the project cost. If you are selling your home or may in the future, it’s also worthwhile noting that homes with new siding sell significantly faster and that the average offer will be 7% higher than for a comparable home with older siding.
• Energy Efficiency
One of the key benefits of siding replacement is energy efficiency. Siding is a primary element of the building envelope and therefore dictates how quiet and comfortable the home is and how much it costs to cool it in summer and heat it in winter. The EPA estimates that the average homeowner can reduce their annual energy costs by up to 30% by replacing old siding and choosing new siding with an appropriate R-value. Your new siding may also make you eligible for tax credits and other incentives that can mitigate your initial investment and lower your total cost of ownership.
• Protection
Siding is used to protect the underlying structure of your home. It keeps the rainwater out and thus protects it against water damage. It also shields it from the wind and defends it against pests, and when you invest in new siding, you’re renewing that protection for decades to come. Another important benefit that many homeowners overlook is that residing is an opportunity to remove the old siding, inspect the underlying structure, and make any necessary maintenance or repairs.
Types of Siding
There are many different siding materials that are used for residential purposes. At Green Eco Solutions, we specialize in all of them, but there are four types that are particularly popular with homeowners in our service area.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is the most popular material for residential siding replacement. The reason for this is that vinyl is the most affordable siding material. It also has a long life and thus a low total cost. Vinyl siding requires little to no maintenance—such as repainting—and will never fade or rot. It’s also available in a wide range of colors and textures, including styles that mimic other siding materials.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement is the most popular siding material used in new residential construction. It exhibits many of the benefits of siding replacement mentioned earlier, including a beautiful look and superior R-value and protection. It lasts upward of 50 years, and while it does need to be repainted at least every 10 years, that’s an opportunity to freshen and change the home’s appearance.
Insulated Vinyl Siding
Insulated siding is a type of vinyl siding that has a foam core. This core serves two main purposes. It provides a higher R-value than hollow-backed vinyl siding and thus increases energy efficiency, reduces heating and cooling costs, and makes a home quieter and more comfortable. The core also makes the vinyl siding sturdier and thus provides greater protection against wind and impacts.
Cedar Siding
Cedar siding and wood siding in general is a traditional choice for homes. One of the main benefits of siding replacement with cedar is eco-friendliness, which is playing a big role in recent trends. But cedar is also a great choice for protection and energy efficiency and also because it has a beautiful and distinct aesthetic that ages gracefully over time in a manner that most other siding materials do not.
