Does Your Home Need Siding?

Building a house comes with a range of necessities ranging from the installation of pipes, doors, windows and similar sorts.

However, some essential components of a house may not seem necessary or obvious, but that doesn’t diminish the need as you may have rightly guessed.

Have you ever thought about why your house may need siding? Or, maybe you’re probably asking yourself what siding is and considering the benefits it has.

What is siding?

Siding is any material that shields the exterior walls of a house or building from hazards. Siding can be made from a variety of materials such as fiber, cement, vinyl, wood, stucco, and brick.

Why people install Siding
People install siding for a variety of reasons, but one notable reason you may need siding may be for the protection of your home against minor natural hazards such as winter, rain or even surges. Another reason most people consider installing siding in their homes is to keep it properly insulated. Most people use siding to conceal wire installations, pipe installation and a variety of other wirings or connections.


Siding also preserves your home if you intend selling it in future as you would want to keep it new and attractive. In this regard, siding can also be installed for aesthetic reasons as it resonates colorfully with lightings and exterior decors. You can view siding as an outfit for your home.

Siding also helps in regulating the temperature of your home as the weather can be too hot or cold depending on the season. It also prevents your house from experiencing avoidable leakages from rainfall.

Without siding
Without siding, your home becomes prone to leakages from instances such as rainfall, pipe breakages, and winter. Siding also helps to keep to your wirings concealed, shielding it from leakages and surges. As earlier stated, siding helps in regulating the temperature of your house thereby reducing the rate and energy at which your cooling and heating units work, saving you some extra expenses on your utility bills.

Environmental Benefit
Siding also benefits the environment by way of saving energy plus its durability and long lifecycles. You can also consider it a tip to install a new siding after the old one has lasted long enough. Vinyl siding precisely has a positive effect on your home and its environs as it is created from raw materials and can be easily disposed of once it has reached its lifespan.

Financial Benefit

If you wish to spend little on repairs, then you should crucially consider installing siding on the exterior walls of your house. This helps in curbing any form of leakage or surges that can cause some serious structural damages that may require you to spend out of your budget. Siding has some long term financial benefits that would save your home some avoidable costs.

Mark and his team did a terrific job and I could not be more pleased with the final work! Throughout whole siding installation process I was kept well informed about the progress and what will be next steps in the process. I'm living in Arlington Heights and anyone who is looking for great siding contractor can stop by my house and check their amazing work. I also plan on hiring them again for another siding project. That would be my parent's home. 🙂

I researched over 30 companies, and had 5 come out to my house to give me estimates to install new vinyl siding. I ended up going with Smardbuild, and I am very happy that I did. They showed up on time, and finished the entire job within a week. And the quality of the work is the best part. They are perfectionists! I have never seen attention to detail like this. They even went above and beyond the job requirements. They installed aluminum flashing around my sliding glass door to make it look nicer, and that was not even part of the job. And to top it off, they installed 2 new wall lanterns that I bought at Home Depot.

We used Mark and his Smardbuild team to replace our roof, soffits, fascia, siding, upstairs windows, gutters and front door. All work performed is top notch. We went with Hardie soffits and fascia since we had prior issues with carpenter bees drilling holes in our old, wooden soffits. In my opinion Smardbuild is the best with Hardie products. Everything looks great. It took us a while to finally settle on a color for the siding and Smardbuild was quite patient with our process. After having issues with contractors in the past, it was refreshing to work with such a professional team that actually cares about the quality of their work. Thanks Smardbuild.
