Siding

The siding on your home is an important part of its overall appearance. Siding can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and fiber cement. Each type of siding has its advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to choose the best option for your home.

Goad Construction can help you choose the right siding for your home and install it properly. If you’re thinking about updating the siding on your home, be sure to consult with us to get started.

Important Siding Considerations

Appearance: The siding material should match the architectural style of the house. For example, it's wise to cover a historic home in wood, brick, or stone but not with vinyl, seamless steel, or aluminum siding.

Water-resistance: Learn which types of siding are water-tight or prone to leaks from weather or even power washing that can cause havoc on your home.

Energy efficiency: Some materials may be more efficient than others. For example, vinyl siding has a foam backing that adds insulation but you might not need that in milder climates.

Maintenance and care: Some materials need higher maintenance, such as painting or caulking, while others go for years before there are any signs of wear and tear.

Lifespan: Some siding materials last a lot longer with little maintenance than other materials.
