McKay’s Painting Lists Different Types of House Siding & Exterior Wall Finishes

Vinyl Siding: One of the options that you can choose when you update the look of your home is vinyl siding. The siding is a great option for many reasons. The siding can be ordered in many different colors to match whatever décor you want to design around. It is also a very cost effective option and you know that the pieces will all fit well together because they are manufactured. The problems are mostly during the installation. If the siding is not installed properly there may be gaps that will lead to water damage and moisture. This will then turn to mold and mildew and the siding may need to be replaced. This is where there is a problem as well. If there is an area of damage and it has been a few years there can be problem finding a proper replacement piece.
Wood Siding: If you want a higher end look and you want to have a beautiful finish then a real wood siding is the way to go. There are several types of wood that you can choose from and it is best to talk to a professional about what is best for your home and your area. The wood siding needs to be cared for and inspected regularly. The wood has to be painted and sealed regularly and if there are signs of damage it is a great idea to have it repaired. You can paint, white wash or seal the wood siding if you want to. This should also be done by a professional to make sure that the wood is protected.
