Transform Your Home with Vertical Vinyl Siding
You have put a lot of pride and love into your home. The economy right now seems to be a cause of concern as to whether you want to do any remodeling work to your home or not. Why put more money into your beautiful home if you would never be able to sell it should the need arise? However, you need to think about keeping your house in great condition for yourself or in case you would need to sell
Take a look at the siding of your home. What condition is it in? If it is in need of replacement or updating, you might want to consider vertical or board and batten siding. Vertical vinyl siding is reminiscent of the style of old barns and provides the same appearance as traditional wood without the labor, maintenance or expense of wood. Interlocking panels allow for quick installation. Vertical vinyl siding also comes in a variety of colors and never needs to be painted. Like other types of vinyl siding, it is a practical choice due to its reasonable price and durability. It will last for decades, is insect, water and weather-resistant and continues to look as good as new as the years pass.
The best places to start your online research for purchasing vertical vinyl siding include CertainTeed and Alside. CertainTeed’s line of vertical siding includes single 8-inch vertical board and batten with a rough cedar finish, beaded 2-inch triple with a smooth finish, and Ironmax Double 5-inch with a woodgrain finish. All of these siding products come in a variety of colors. Alside offers a Premium Board & Batten vertical siding with a stately 5-1/2 inch board face accented by a delicate 1-1/2 inch batten that projects 1/2 inch above the board surface. Its cedar finish comes in twelve colors. According to Alside, a reasonable price to pay for vertical vinyl siding would be in the neighborhood of $10,500 for an 1800 square foot ranch home.
