Transform Your New York Home with Stunning New Siding
Stylish Fiber Cement
Want to add rich texture and beauty with a single exterior upgrade? Choose fiber cement siding. Why? If you love the sleek crisp appeal modern siding offers, fiber cement delivers! With sleek, smooth panel options, your exterior will shout contemporary as soon as its re-sided.
Made of a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose, this gorgeous siding material is known and loved for its durability, longevity, and easy maintenance. It resists moisture, rot, and pests, making it a practical investment. Because it’s so thick, it can mimic wood’s unique patterns and texture. So, if you love the look of wood, but don’t want to deal with its tedious upkeep, fiber cement siding is a fabulous option.
And one of the best parts? Its stylish profiles are many! You’ll bring instant modernization to your older house’s appearance by covering it in fiber cement siding. And James Hardie is king when it comes to manufacturers. Their highly esteemed siding makeup allows you to customize your new siding’s style to your specific taste.
- Choose from textured or smooth siding panels.
- Decide between vertical or horizontal planks.
- Relish chic, rustic board-and-batten style or go with a traditional look.
- Can’t decide what to do? Try a combination of siding materials like vertical and horizontal or fiber cement siding panels. Or go with horizontal planks and apply stone veneer on areas of architectural interest.
Key considerations: Fiber cement is heavier than other siding materials, so it requires professional installation. It may be a more significant initial investment, but it is warrantied to last 30 years and often lasts up to 50-plus years when installed properly and maintained over its lifespan.
Sleek Vinyl Siding
Want to update your older property with sleek modern flair? Vinyl siding may be your answer. Available in a wide range of colors and textures, you can customize vinyl’s appearance to your heart’s content and make a stylish statement you’ll love coming home to. This plastic-based siding material is famous for its affordability, and is a great low maintenance siding option. Simply wash it with a garden hose and some mild soap, and you’re good to go.
Wanting to cozy up inside when New York weather gets chilly? Insulated vinyl siding can provide better energy efficiency, which makes your interior more comfortable and saves you monthly on utilities.
Key considerations: Vinyl isn’t as durable as other siding materials. It may warp in extreme heat and can dent when exposed to hail or severe weather. Its color is tough to change, so make sure you love it before making your color choice.
Authentic Wood Siding
Want to add genuine beauty to your older house while giving it a more updated look? Do you love a classic, rustic vibe? Wood siding made from cedar, pine, redwood, or other varieties of real wood may be the best siding selection to modernize your space.
Wood siding is ideal for historic properties and older houses and adds instant savings by lowering energy use with its exceptional insulation properties. You can’t beat the charming appeal of genuine wood siding. It will boost your home’s curb appeal and value significantly.
Key considerations: Wood siding is gorgeous, but it comes with higher maintenance needs than other siding material options. You’ll need to be prepared to paint or stain it every 4-6 years, so it doesn’t start allowing moisture to penetrate it and damage your house.
Luxurious Stone Veneer Siding
Looking for a high-end aesthetic without the weight (and cost) of natural stone? Stone veneer may be your answer. The luxury aesthetic it provides is truly eye-catching. It pairs well with stucco or fiber cement if you like a mixed material exterior. Stone veneer delivers visual interest you’ll love coming home to.
Made of a thin layer of natural or manufactured stone that mimics genuine stone construction, stone veneer is a sought-after siding material homeowners appreciate! It may consist of limestone, granite, or slate and adds delightful warmth to your property’s aesthetic.
It’s key to find a reputable contractor to install your stone veneer for lasting high performance and beauty. When this siding material is not installed correctly, it may allow water to penetrate behind the veneer, damaging your siding and hindering its visual appeal. Be sure to research your contractor of choice well online, and go see some of their siding work in person before hiring them.
Key considerations: Stone veneer can be a more significant initial investment than other siding materials, but homeowners love its luxurious look and modern style.
