The siding on your home is usually the first thing a person notices. When considering a new siding there are a number of points you may wish to consider;
-
How much maintenance are you willing or able to do. Cedar is beautiful and will last a very long time, but only if it is properly cared for. “Vinyl is final” is more than a cliche’, it really will out last most of us in most cases and requires very little or no maintenance. Fiber cement offers a happy medium that can last a very long time and only needs a modicum of attention.
-
If your walls don’t provide adaquate insulation then a vinyl or Hardie board with a formed insulating backer may be the product for you.
-
If your have an H.O.A. to deal with then both cedar and fiber cement are good choices that will usually pass the boards approval. (Color will still be a consideration)
-
If you want to go “green” then cedar is a great choice and a fully renewable resource. Fiber cement is also a great choice however the carbon footprint is larger than cedar. Vinyl is not “green”.
-
If you like to change your home color from time to time then cedar or fiber cement are you best choices.
-
If your want the look of real painted wood then any of these choices are good. With recent advances in manufacturing most siding products can simulate cedar quite convincingly.
-
If you are concerned about pests like termites then any of these products will work quite well, however, while cedar is termite resistant, both vinyl and fiber cement are termite proof.
-
If cost is your biggest concern then vinyl offers a good choice since after the initial investment you never have to spend money painting or staining again. Stained cedar can go many years without re-staining and our prepainted fiber cement carries a 15 year paint warranty.
-
If warranty is a concern then vinyl or fiber cement are the choice for you. (Both carry a limited lifetime warranty) Cedar carries no warranty on material though all products carry Right Turn Constructions 10 year workmanship warranty.
Regardless of which product you choose remember you can’t make a wrong turn with Right Turn!
