Your home’s siding does more than enhance its visual appeal. It also protects the entire structure from the weather. Excess moisture won’t easily penetrate your interior when you have a solid exterior protecting your home. But did you know that siding can also affect the interior in several ways? Pechacek’s General Contracting, Roofing & Siding LLC, a locally trusted siding and roof repair company, explains what you need to know.
Each siding panel is cleverly designed to prevent rain, moisture and other elements from entering your home. Siding also serves as a shield protecting your interior against severe weather such as hailstorms and heavy rains, which also means siding will sustain damage over time. As such, siding must be regularly maintained to stay effective and in good condition throughout its life span.
If you recently went through a severe storm, call in a trusted contractor to assess the full extent of damage on your siding. Siding contractors have the expertise to make the necessary repairs and ensure your siding keeps protecting your home.
A solid and well-maintained siding keeps your family and valuables safe and secure indoors. But did you know that it also improves your home’s energy efficiency? The panels create a thermal barrier that keeps out the cold winter weather (or hot summer weather) while maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. This reduces the load on your heating and cooling system by preventing it from working too hard and consuming more energy.
Your siding also keeps the interiors comfortable throughout other seasons of the year. During spring and summer, siding prevents energy loss by reducing solar heat gain. But the effectiveness of your siding will depend on the material and quality you choose. If you’re planning a complete replacement, choose a material that’s ideal for your area’s local climate. You’ll likely need to consult with an experienced contractor who can help you choose what’s best for your home.
