Are you ready to invest in new siding for your home? When you invest in new siding, your home instantly gets an exterior facelift, making your house stand out on your block. There are plenty of choices when it comes to siding, and you have decisions to make ranging from color to width. However, as you narrow in on your final options, don’t forget to take maintenance into account.

If you don’t want to be active in your home’s siding maintenance, consider a low maintenance approach. Fortunately, many siding material options require minimal maintenance from the homeowner, which means you can spend more time enjoying your siding instead of caring for it.

Vinyl Siding

Requiring only an occasional rinse from your garden hose, vinyl siding is one low-maintenance option to consider when investing in your house’s exterior. The consultants at Rusco appreciate vinyl siding for its color options – there’s something for every style – as well as its durability. There’s no scraping or painting needed with vinyl siding, which makes it ideal for busy homeowners.

Fiber Cement Siding

Even more durable and weather resistant than vinyl siding options, fiber cement siding is ideal for homes here in the Chicagoland area. Made with a combination of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber, this siding is resistant to more than just the weather. It will keep pests like termites far away and won’t fade, chip, or peel. Even better, you don’t have to worry about keeping up with a list of maintenance activities to keep fiber cement siding looking its best. Homeowners who love beautiful siding but don’t love lots of maintenance will be happy with their choice of fiber cement siding.
