The siding of a home is like a butterfly cocoon. The purpose is to protect the contents inside. If the siding is damaged, or cannot hold up to its intended job, then damages can occur indoors. Such damage could be moisture retention, growth of mold, and poor curb appeal. When these happen, it is time to consider the need for new siding. 
The cost of new siding in St. Louis can average $30,000. Of course, this depends on the size of the home, the type of siding chosen, and the removal of old material. It is wise to speak with a siding professional and obtain an accurate estimate for your home. Freedom Roofing in St. Louis is the perfect contractor to call! We believe in helping local families and have been installing quality exteriors for years.
For many, it is hard to know when the exterior of a home should be replaced. Here are some things to consider:
- Cracked, warped, or rotting siding
- Blisters or bubbles on the siding
- Evidence of fungus, mold, or mildew
- Faded, weathered siding
- Frequent painting is needed to keep it looking fresh
- High energy bills
- Peeling paint
What are four benefits of replacing your home’s exterior with siding?
Improved Appearance
New siding helps to keep the home looking nice for longer, with less maintenance than needing to paint every few years. The options of colors are so wide and varied, it’s almost as if the homeowner has a blank canvas to create a beautiful home with style and sophistication.
Energy Efficiency
Any holes or damaged areas can be easily covered up with new siding installed. The contractor can add additional insulation if needed to keep the home at a more comfortable temperature year-round. It can help your HVAC system.
Structural Integrity of the Home
Some siding offers resistance to moisture which offers an excellent barrier against the wood rotting underneath or water pooling in the window sills. Be sure to speak with us about the condition of your home, and how we can help best protect it.
Increased Home Value
Replacing the siding of a home can offer up to 80% of the return on investment when the house is sold. That is a huge percentage! That alone is a consideration for upgrading the exterior of your home. You might also want to have a roof replacement for the overall curb appeal of your home.
