When the time comes to install vinyl siding, a step-by-step approach ensures a professional and lasting result. Proper installation is crucial for durability, weather resistance, and an attractive finish. Each stage plays a role in protecting your home and achieving a seamless look.
Generally, the siding installation process involves:
If you had a hand in installing siding before, you probably know that there’s debate over the need for a moisture barrier. In most cases, a moisture barrier like house wrap is recommended to prevent water infiltration and improve insulation.
While vinyl siding itself is water-resistant, gaps and seams can allow moisture to penetrate. A moisture barrier adds an extra layer of protection, particularly in areas prone to heavy rain or humidity. Local building codes may also dictate whether you need us to install a barrier.
Our team offers a full range of vinyl siding installation solutions, including:
Some homeowners consider installing new vinyl siding over existing materials like wood, aluminum, or even old vinyl. While this can sometimes be done, it depends on the condition and type of the current siding. If the old siding is in good shape, flat, and free of moisture damage, it may serve as a base. However, covering warped, rotting, or uneven siding can lead to structural issues. Even covering siding in good condition can lead to ventilation and drainage issues.
Removing old siding allows for a proper inspection and the addition of insulation or a moisture barrier, ensuring a longer-lasting result.
Vinyl siding typically lasts 20 to 40 years with proper maintenance. Its lifespan depends on factors like climate, sun exposure, and installation quality. Harsh weather, such as extreme heat or freezing temperatures, can cause cracking or fading over time. Higher-quality vinyl with UV protection lasts longer, while cheaper options may degrade faster.
Regular cleaning and occasional inspections help extend its durability, so be sure to stay on top of exterior home maintenance.
Missouri summers can get hot, but vinyl siding is designed to withstand high temperatures. However, extreme heat sources, like reflected sunlight from energy-efficient windows or direct exposure to grills or fire pits, can sometimes cause warping or melting.
If your home is in an area with high sun exposure, we invite you to consider some of the heat-resistant vinyl options available through many manufacturers.
