  It’s not just your imagination:  Vinyl siding is everywhere . It used to be that only older homes had  vinyl siding , but nowadays new homes often come with it. That’s because there are  many good reasons for choosing vinyl . In addition to its durability — vinyl can last up to 50 years — it’s versatile, with lots of color choices and various textures and profiles from which to choose. Plus,  vinyl is easy to install  once you’ve picked out the style you like. But before you go out and purchase a hot pink house wrap and a bucket of spackle, there are some things you should know about choosing your new outer layer. Inexpensive Vinyl siding is inexpensive — with so many choices in materials and styles, you’re sure to find a perfect match for your home. Vinyl will never rust or decay, so there’s no need to worry about your investment. And if it does get damaged in any way, it’s extremely easy to repair or replace. Variety: Siding comes in lots of colors and ...

  Every homeowner has a list of worries when it comes to their home —  is the roof going to collapse ?  Are those strange noises coming from my attic just termites ? The good news is,  you can protect your home’s exterior with a little preventative care . Home siding is constantly exposed to the elements , resulting in constant wear and tear. If you have wood siding, this means that most of your exterior is at risk for wood rot, pest infestation, and structural damage. It’s not entirely uncommon for  water damage alone to result in $10,000 worth of repairs for an average house!  Even one year of exposure can lead to major problems. That’s why it’s important to  get your siding checked regularly and replaced  as early as possible if there are any issues. If you have metal siding, it may also be time to  replace your metal panels  if they’re dented or buckled. It may look fine on the outside but can cause leaks and other problems on the in...

  When it comes to roof damage, what are you looking for? Maybe it’s a missing shingle. Maybe it’s a big dent. Maybe it’s a hole in the roof. Wind damage can really sneak up on you, though — in fact, most of the time, wind damage is very difficult to spot. Wind damage can happen a lot more slowly than you think, and it’s hard to spot. There will be no physical sign that something’s gone wrong — but there is likely a problem beneath the surface. Shingles can become creased or cracked without you even realizing it, and once a seal is broken and there is debris underneath the shingle, it will never properly seal back down again. Eventually, this will cause leaks in the long run. The best way to avoid this is to get your roof inspected by an expert at least once a year for any signs of damage. That way, even if you don’t know what to look for yourself, you’ll know that your roofer does!

  Roof replacements are a significant investment , so it’s important to do your due diligence before signing on the dotted line. Unfortunately, some homeowners skip this due diligence and sign whatever  roofing contract  is put in front of them. By doing this, they’re just asking to be taken advantage of by a bad roofer. 1. Second Opinions No matter what level of roofing experience you have, it’s always a good idea to get multiple estimates. This makes sure you’re choosing the right contractor who will give you honest and accurate advice on your roofing project. Additionally, it can help you avoid paying more than necessary for any work that needs to be done. 2. The Fine Print Your roofing contract’s fine print  is as important as the main terms. It can tell you a lot about the quality of work you can expect, how long repairs and replacements take, and what a company’s policy on damage is. Roofing companies often offer contracts that include exclusions. These can inc...
