3 Reasons Why You Should Repair Your Siding
by Saeed Rajan
February 14, 2023
Do you have breaking or cracking siding? Here are 3 financial benefits of investing in professional siding repair for your Calgary home.

New siding is an affordable and effective way of giving your home an instant makeover and increasing its market value. However, siding is not purely decorative. It will also:

  • Protect your home against external elements (rain, snow, hail, or ice)
  • Provide insulation
  • Keep your walls free of insects, dirt, and moisture
  • Protect the structural integrity of your home

Remember: Regardless of which type of siding you have, it will require regular maintenance, repair, and eventually, it may need to be replaced. As your siding ages, breaking and cracking is a problem that you’ll want to address before other parts of your house become affected.

3 Financial Benefits of Repairing Your Broken Siding

For most Calgarians, replacing or repairing their house’s siding may not necessarily be at the top of their to-do list, but it should be. Whether you have rotting or cracked siding, or you’ve recently come across some dry rot, here are 3 financial benefits of repairing your damaged siding:

 

1. You’ll Add Value to Your Home

Did you know that replacing or repairing your siding has a high expected ROI (return of investment) of almost 80%? This makes it one of the most financially sound home renovation projects you can invest in.

 

Enhance Your Curb Appeal
Repairing your siding will also add curb appeal, which is extremely important if you’re looking to sell your house. Why? First appearances are critical in the real estate business.

Remember: It doesn’t matter how incredible the interior of your home is because most prospective buyers won’t even come to view your home if your exterior and siding are old, damaged, or outdated.

 

2. You Can Enjoy Increased Insulation

Repairing your home’s siding is a very effective way of improving your insulation’s efficiency and reducing the transfer of heat and/or cold from the interior to the exterior. While many of today’s modern siding materials have insulation already incorporated into their product, many don’t. Talk to your building contractor about adding in a layer of insulation.

Do you have an older home? Upgrading to siding can help you enjoy incredible savings!

 

Many older homes were built before homeowners understood the benefits of effective insulation. When you upgrade to siding, you will get:

  • Greater levels of comfort
  • Reduction of energy consumption
  • Lower heating and cooling bills

3. You’ll Lower Your Home Maintenance Bills

In addition to making your home look attractive, siding plays a very important role in protecting your house against external elements. This means that if your siding is cracked, damaged, or poor quality, then:

  • The structure of your home will be compromised
  • You’ll be more vulnerable to water damage
  • You’ll have loose wallpaper and peeling paint that will need to constantly be repaired

Remember: It is ALWAYS cheaper and safer, in the long run, to replace or repair your siding before it allows water or moisture to permeate your home and create trouble.
