There are few renovations you can make that will change the appearance and increase the value of your home as much as new siding.
Here are some popular siding choices for homes in New Jersey:
Wood Siding -
Wood Siding is a contemporary, yet classic building material chosen for its beauty, versatility, and durability. You have a variety of wood siding choices including: bevel siding, tongue & groove, lap siding, board & batten, and shake siding. Siding made from Cedar wood is the most popular in NJ.
Fiber Cement (James Hardie) siding - Is made of a mixture of cement, sand and cellulose fiber mixed together to form a strong durable product that is impervious to insects, fire, and weather damage. It is available in clapboard, stucco and other various patterns and is available with a 15-year manufacturer finish in an array of colors.
Vinyl Siding - Is the most popular siding choice in New Jersey and in America and is made with polyvinyl chloride. The sky's the limit in vinyl color choices (traditional pastels, earthy tones, barn reds, hunter & sage greens, and deep blues) and is available in many profiles (horizontal & vertical panels, shakes, shingles, fish scales, traditional lap, vinyl Dutch lap, etc.). For maintenance all it requires is a simple wash with a soft cloth and garden hose.
Trim and Millwork - Can really add character and uniqueness to your home with architectural elements. Wide corner posts, window and door casements, window panels, dentil molding, band boards, windows heads, and columns are among the offerings that are limited only by your imagination.
Stone Siding and Stucco Siding - Are among the oldest siding styles and add a sense of permanence and luxury. Today's manufactured stone siding is lighter and more affordable than real stone but looks remarkably real. Stucco is an enduring choice for durability, low maintenance and beautiful color and style choices.
Did you know that as reported in the annual Cost versus Value Report published by Remodeling magazine approx. 85% of the cost of new siding is recouped in added value?
