Dallas Siding Installation
Siding Installation
How do you know which material to use when it’s time to replace the siding on your home? The first thing to think about is definitely your budget. The cost of your project will vary greatly depending on what material you choose, so you need to make sure what you decide on is in your price range. Next is how it looks. Everyone is different in their taste, so you want to make sure you will love how the finished project looks. Finally, is the climate where your home is.
Climate is the biggest factor that decides how quickly your siding will decay and start to look horrible. When you think about Dallas, you think heat and moisture. With that in mind, and knowing which type of siding thrives in what environment, we can assure you that Acrylic Siding is your best (but not only) option.
When assessing the pros and cons of the different types of siding that last longest in the heat, here what we found:
What is the best type of siding to choose from in Dallas?
Engineered Wood– This is probably the most expensive option to go with. It can handle the heat and moisture better than classic wood, as it is treated with fungus repellants and insecticides, handles moisture, mold and termites. As a homeowner you pay significantly more for these features though. If you thought wood siding was out of your budget, you may as well forget about Engineered Wood.
Fiber Cement- This type of siding is composed of a mix of cement, wood fibers, sand, and a few other elements. The cement aspect of fiber cement allows it to handle just about any climate, including the hot and humid. However it is a bit expensive to install, and even more so to repair if it breaks.
Acrylic Siding- Which brings us to the affordable, durable, and ever popular choice for homeowners everywhere: Acrylic siding. Acrylic is the least expensive. Although it is vulnerable to the elements (so it may not be right for say, extreme cold climates), it can stand up to the heat and moisture with the best of materials. It doesn’t rot, flake or chip. It stands up to the intense Dallas sun while barely fading, and can take as much wind as the Southern state can dish out.
Depending on your budget, typically the perfect choice for most homeowners in Dallas is Acrylic Siding. It can stand up to everything the climate has to offer, is inexpensive to purchase and also to install, and customizable enough to ensure that the homeowner gets what appeals to their taste.
