Fall is a perfect time to capitalize on good weather and more comfortable temperatures for exterior home upgrades. Whether your house siding is looking worse for wear, you have storm-damaged soffit and fascia, or degraded house trim, now is the time to get your house back to looking top form.
With these essential improvements out of the way, not only will your home be protected, but you’ll be able to end off the year fresh and worry-free.
Let’s look at the fundamentals of upgrading your home’s exterior.
Siding
There are many types of siding to choose from, some more expensive than others, such as vinyl, stucco, wood, brick, and fibre cement composites. Each has pros and cons and may be better suited for your home’s aesthetic appearance. Some have more maintenance with less cost, and others require less work but come with a price tag.
However, installing new siding has one of the highest returns on investment in exterior home renovation. Not only does it look great, but it has many benefits as well.
Your home’s siding is a determining factor in curb appeal and house value. When run down or damaged, it significantly impacts how realtors and neighbours view your home. In addition, the siding’s function is to protect the house from the elements, mould, and unwanted visitors.
Upgrading or replacing your siding will give your home a fresh face, positively impacting any home appraisals or value assessments. Furthermore, new siding guards your house against criminal activity, water damage, rodents and insects, and debris, which is essential to avoid later costly repairs.
Trims
The house trim frames windows and doors and can include decorative architectural elements. While it protects the inner framework, trim also helps to add character with contrasting colour and shape to the siding. So, in other words, it can be an opportunity to add personality and style to your home.
Think of it like eyeliner. The window is just a window until highlighted with a contrasting colour in varying degrees of depth. Whether it be black, white, or another complimenting tone that suits the siding, house trim defines windows and doors and helps eliminate the appearance of a big boring wall.
House trim has many options, including wood, vinyl, metal, and composite. Again, some have more maintenance than others, which is something to consider as you look at replacement.
Soffit and Fascia
Soffit and fascia have some serious work to do. But, while helping to finish off the edges of your roofline, they are a safeguard against water damage to your roof, attic, and even flooding in your basement.
Upgrading your soffit and fascia is extremely important if you have irreparable damage and need repairing without delay. It will help prevent water from pouring directly on the foundation, which saturates the soil and can penetrate your basement walls.
Aside from their performance, the new soffit and fascia are visually appealing, and the trim colour is often closely matched to it. Moreover, as soffit and fascia are pre-manufactured in specific colours, metal trims often coincide easily or paint colours happily coordinated.
Expert Advice and Installation
For perfect finishing and trusted results, relying on the professional services of professional contractors is a must. Your new exterior products are half of the equation; the other half is skilled installation, as your house siding, soffit and fascia, and house trim will only look as good as the quality of labour applying them.
