Instead of painting the house or business for the second time in six years, explore the benefits of Siding in Indianapolis. Painting ever few years costs more than money. It takes a significant amount of time to prepare the building and the surrounding areas for painting.
The remaining paint has to be peeled off, the building has to be sanded down, and primer goes on before painting can even begin. Scaffolding has to be placed against the building depending on the height. The entire process may require a business to shut down until the project is completed. Siding can eliminate that process completely.
The Benefits of Siding
In addition to saving time and money on the painting process, Siding in Indianapolis provides many other benefits. Siding protects the building from the elements better than paint. It is waterproof, not susceptible to termites, and will not rot. Snow, ice, and heavy rain or the wind will not penetrate the siding.
Another layer of insulation added to the building will save a substantial amount of money on utility bills. Repair and replacement costs for heating and cooling systems are minimized because they are not working as hard to keep the family or employees or shoppers comfortable. High-quality siding will have thicker insulation than ordinary siding so keep that in mind when selecting a brand.
Proper Installation
To enjoy all the benefits of siding, it has to be installed correctly. Loose siding, for example, will allow wind and rain to infiltrate the building, and make the product vulnerable to being torn off or damaged. If panels are not lined up exactly, termites can get underneath the siding and destroy the building. Birds, bees, and rodents can cause damage as well.
An experienced siding company, such as Amos Exteriors Inc, can recommend the best product for the building and install it with skill and precision. Vinyl siding is available as is James Hardie fiber cement siding.
The fiber cement siding will be priced slightly higher than the vinyl, but has superior insulation properties and comes with a twenty-five-year warranty. Compare all the costs of maintaining the building in its current condition against the cost of adding siding to determine if it is time for siding.
