Vinyl
When it comes to selecting the right type of siding for your Andover home, there is a lot to consider. Cost, longevity and style are all factors that should be assessed closely. However, that being said, given our years of experience has led us to believe that the benefits of vinyl siding are extremely hard to mirror. So, with that in mind, here are three of the biggest advantages of choosing vinyl siding in your home:
Reduced Costs:
One of the biggest advantages that vinyl siding has over other types is its cost-effectiveness. On average, the installation of vinyl siding could cost you anywhere from $2,500 to $8,500 per 1,250 square feet. This compares favorably with wood siding which could set you back somewhere in the region of $7,000 to $10,000 for the exact same square footage.
Extremely Versatile:
At Lockwood Construction LLC, we offer vinyl in a wide range of styles and colors. It is this variety that is one of the reasons why so many of our residential customers are opting for vinyl over other types of siding. Our skilled team will be able to find a vinyl siding style that works with both horizontal and vertical applications.
Intense Durability:
If there is one word that best described vinyl siding it is durable. There is no doubt about it but that this type of siding is strong and heavy enough to withstand the any harsh weather that we experience in Andover. Vinyl is resistant to almost all types of moisture so this means that you can rest assured that it won’t corrode over time.
Wood
Available in many types and styles, wood siding is an exterior cladding material that can be comprised of plywood, shingles or linear board lengths. There is a big difference between horizontal and vertical wood siding and there’s a range of other minor variations in the way that siding is joined or fitted together in the installation process. Three of the most popular types of wood siding include:
Vertical Siding:
If you are looking to create an authentic rustic appeal to your Coon Rapids home then the installation of a range of vertical wooden siding could be the perfect choice for you. The vertical boards run the length of the wall are either butt joined or tongue and groove. On top of that there is the option to nail the ‘batten’ over for added protection and decorative effect.
Horizontal Siding:
At Lockwood Construction LLC, we generally try to apply and install our overlapping horizontal boards of four to twelve inches in width with an overlap of two inched. The boards are usually installed so that the joints align vertically in alternating courses.
Plywood Siding:
If you are looking for a low-cost and easy-installation alternative to traditional wood siding then plywood could be the perfect option for you. Usually, we place 4×8 foot sheets of plywood that can be installed directly onto wood studs. On top of that, our plywood is often grooved together to imitate the joints between traditional vertical boards.
