Consider your climate, budget, maintenance tolerance, and aesthetic goals. Durable materials and good installation can protect your home better and may save money long-term.
Popular options include vinyl (low-cost, low maintenance), fiber cement (durable, fire and insect resistant), wood (classic look but higher maintenance), and metal or stone veneer for premium finishes.
Materials differ by their durability, resistance to moisture, pests, fire and weather, as well as how much maintenance they require—so a higher-quality material may cost more up-front but save on upkeep and repair.
If the siding is at or past its expected lifespan, shows rot, warping, persistent damage, or if you’re facing frequent repairs or high energy bills, full replacement may be more cost-effective.
Vinyl siding generally lasts about 20-40 years, fiber cement may last 30-50+ years, and wood siding can last 20-40 years depending heavily on upkeep.
Most siding should be cleaned annually or bi-annually, minor repairs attended to promptly, repainting or resealing wood or fiber cement when required, and inspections for gaps, rot, or insect damage.
Some materials (and added insulation behind them) can improve your home’s thermal envelope, reducing heating and cooling costs, so upgrading siding can be a way to boost efficiency .
Ask about their experience with your chosen siding type, proper installation practices (weather barrier, flashing, fastening), warranties on materials and labor, and how they handle underlying issues found during removal.

Over time, paint naturally fades, cracks, or peels due to exposure and everyday wear. If it’s been 7–10 years since your last paint job, it may be time for a refresh to protect surfaces and maintain your home’s appearance.

Visible signs like peeling paint, cracking walls, or dull, faded color are more than cosmetic—they indicate the surface is no longer protected from moisture, UV rays, and wear. Repainting restores both the look and durability of your home.

Water stains, mildew, or bubbling paint on interior walls often indicate moisture issues. Repainting after repairs not only restores the look of your space but helps seal and protect it moving forward.

As paint wears out, the surfaces underneath can begin to degrade—especially wood and trim. A fresh coat of high-quality paint helps prevent rot, mold, and decay while keeping your surfaces protected.

If you're constantly touching up scuffs, stains, or chips, your paint may no longer be durable or appropriate for the surface. A full repaint with the right products reduces future maintenance and keeps your home looking fresh longer.

As paint ages, it loses its ability to protect your home’s surfaces from moisture, sun exposure, and everyday wear. Repainting creates a strong protective barrier that helps prevent rot, rust, and long-term structural damage.
