One’s home is usually the single largest investment of his life
time. With proper materials and upkeep, one’s house provides protection from winter’s icy blast, spring’s strong winds and hail, and summer’s heat. Fortunately, homeowner’s insurance usually covers this damage, but too many claims may raise one’s insurance rates. When choosing home siding, make the choice that beautifies and strengthens the house.
Aluminum siding has been the industry standard since its introduction to the marketplace nearly 60 years ago. Unlike the wooden siding it replaced, aluminum siding required little maintenance. Its baked-on paint finish lasts longer than painted wood siding. Regular cleaning and a fresh coat of paint every 20 years keep aluminum siding in good shape. It is also a reasonable choice for a wind-resistent siding, provided that it is installed correctly. However, it does not fare so well with hail. Aluminum siding dents easily. A strong hailstorm could leave a home looking as pockmarked as a golf ball. Everlast composite siding combines the best of both worlds. It has the quaint appearance of wood siding, more durability than aluminum siding, and never requires paint.
Like aluminum siding, vinyl siding requires little maintenance. Painting is not a concern with vinyl siding, as the color is blended into the vinyl. It is also more cost-effective than aluminum. Vinyl rates high as a wind-resistent siding. It does not dent or scratch as easily as aluminum, making it a better choice during a hailstorm, though a violent storm may punch holes in the vinyl. It doesn’t blister or attract insects. Seamless vinyl siding even resembles wood siding. However, given its composition, vinyl siding becomes brittle in extremely cold weather, causing cracks. Again, Everlast composite siding combines the best of all worlds. It is solid-colored like vinyl siding, but Everlast composite siding comes with UV-protection and a lifetime warranty against fading. Its butt-joined construction and wood-grain form allow this siding to look like wood siding without any of the maintenance worries
.
Furthermore, Everlast composite siding carries its own lifetime warranty against hail damage even if ones homeowner’s insurance policy does not. Due to its construction, this siding lays flatter against the house, preventing moisture and insects from invading the living space. With its secured lower edge installation, Everlast is far more wind-resistant than other types of siding. Finally, with its secured overlapping, the visible seams stay tight far longer than aluminum or vinyl.
When it comes to caring for one’s home, anytime one can combine durability and strength with beauty and low maintenance, the choice is clear. The choice is Everlast.
