How to Choose Exterior Siding

An easy way to change the look of your home

Wood siding, brick, vinyl, stucco or stone? Which siding will help the look and value of your house most?

The exterior cladding you choose for your home will be the first visual impression your home makes on visitors, neighbors and prospective buyers. It can be the difference between quaint lakeside cottage and a vaguely, trailer park like shack with a beautiful view. This can effect not only your pride and satisfaction in your house and lets be honest, its nice to have those ‘thats my house!’ moments but also its value and even insurance rates. In areas with high forest fire incidents, stucco siding may lower your insurance rates due to its fire retardant qualities. In the end of the day it all comes down to your preferences, budget and visual aesthetic you are aiming for in your home, cottage or business.

A quick Google search will give you some idea what kind of a difference simply having an exterior makeover can have on your home. It can allow you to play with different textures and materials to really make your house extraordinary.
