When we think of ways to enhance the look and feel of our homes, siding may not be the first thing that comes to homeowners’ minds. However, updating your siding is a great way to give your home a facelift without gutting aspects of the spaces you use every day. Siding is an important part of a home, and, when withered or broken, can create problems homeowners shouldn’t have to deal with.

The team at New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., is here to help homeowners in northern New Jersey get replacement siding and love their homes again. Let’s look at some factors to consider when searching for siding contractors.

What Is Siding?

Siding is a protective material that helps cover the exterior of homes and other buildings. In most cases, home siding is also used as a decorative element. It can add curb appeal to make your home stand out from other houses in the neighborhood. Siding’s main purpose is to help create a barrier against the elements. In places like New Jersey, harsh rain, wind, and snow can quickly wear on your home’s exterior without adequate protection.

Another reason more homeowners are updating their siding is because today’s siding options offer more energy efficiency. This helps protect against temperature changes, preventing your home’s heat from escaping in winter and keeping your AC from working harder on hot summer days.

What to Look for in Siding Contractors

Whether your siding is in rough shape or just doesn’t fit your design style, professional siding companies can get the job done right. Here are some things to consider when choosing a siding company:

Experience

Not all companies have the same amount of experience. Don’t be fooled by suspiciously low quotes from contractors who haven’t been at it for very long. You might end up with complications that will raise the total cost in the end. The more experience a company has, the more likely it will stick to its timeline, estimate, and overall promises. New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., has been in business for over 20 years, so you can trust in our expertise.

Selection

Choosing the right siding contractor means you’ll have options to consider. If a company isn’t offering many choices, there’s a chance you won’t wind up loving the finished product. Look for companies that offer a nice selection of different materials. You will also benefit if the company offers options from different brands, allowing you to choose what truly captivates you.

At New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., we offer a wide selection of vinyl and composite siding options from different brands, including ProVia.

Guarantees

If you’ve found a company with the brand and style you want and they have years of experience, you might think it’s a no-brainer. However, pay attention to the company’s warranties. A company that doesn’t offer any guarantees on their work should raise some questions. Siding, especially in New Jersey, is going to take a lot of wear and tear, and reputable companies should stand by their products and their work. This is why New Jersey Siding & Windows, Inc., offers premium products with industry leading manufacturer warranties.

Timeline

You’d hate to hear great things about a company only to find that you’ll end up on a waitlist. It could mean your project won’t get done for a year. Companies that have experienced professionals and use tried-and-true construction techniques should move efficiently through jobs. While you’ll probably be looking for a short wait regardless of which company you choose, don’t settle for a company that doesn’t seem to mind making you wait for their work.

References

A home improvement company is only as strong as its reputation. If they’ve been in business for many years, there should be information and reviews about them online. It also helps if the company has won awards or distinctions to prove it’s standing out from its peers.
