When pulling up to a home, the first thing that we look at is the structure of the home itself. Since most homes are covered in siding, this becomes the first element we use to judge the overall look and condition of a home. Whether you are in the market to buy a home, sell one, or update the look of your space, you may be surprised to realize just how important the siding can be.

Styles and trends change in siding, just as they do in clothing, hairstyles and home furnishings. Outdated siding makes an impression. It gives your house a tired, dated look, while a design that?s current gives you a fresh, appealing facade. New siding can make a difference, whether You're selling your home or just want to enjoy it more and feel better in it.

Consider the overall look, colors and textures when choosing a new siding. The trend is shifting to darker siding and a mix of materials to create a unique look. Another important factor is energy efficiency. You don?t want your home just to look good; you want siding that holds in heat during the winter and cool air in the summer.

Eliminate the maintenance work

If You'repair your damaged siding this time, it will probably not be the last time. Rotting wood will affect even the sound wood and slowly but surely you will continue to need repairs. Old siding generally requires a lot of work to sand down and refinish in order to help preserve the wood. But with vinyl siding you can avoid that. In fact the only maintenance you will need to worry about is simply spraying the side of the home with a hose.

Increase your energy savings

A damaged piece of siding will let air flow through your home. In the summer this means that hot air will circulate and in the winter, cold air will flow inside. A home that is not properly sealed off from the outside elements will result in a much higher cost in your energy bill. Both heating and cooling costs will greatly decrease when you opt to go with vinyl siding replacement. Your home will feel much more comfortable in both extremes of summer and winter and your energy bills will go down to boot!

Increase the curb appeal and value of your home

Another advantage of replacing the siding on your home is that you can increase the curb appeal and value of your home. Vinyl siding is made to look like wood but maintains a clean, well-kept look that lasts for years to come. You will be able to watch your neighbors continuously repair their siding while yours looks just as great as day one. There are also many style and color options which means you can change the look of your home or maintain its original beauty with no worry of fading colors.

This month draws attention to an important issue for many households. National Window Coverings Safety Month takes place each October to help raise awareness for the necessity of having safe and secure windows and blinds that reduce the threat of injuries including strangulation. Many models of window coverings today still use long cords that are a direct threat to the safety of your children.

Many families are already taking advantage of safe windows and blinds from Pella Windows. These fiberglass composite window replacements are durable to stand up to your family and the elements. And even better, they offer optimal blinds with no cords which means no risk of strangulation.

Over the years doors can become troublesome to open and close and increasingly drafty. So many homeowners are faced with the question of whether to repair or to replace the entry doors.
