Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is low maintenance because it doesn’t need painting or sealing. Most types of exterior home siding have a surface layer of color. But the color of vinyl siding runs through the entire depth of the panel. This means that you don’t have to worry about scratching off the colored coating by accident.
Vinyl siding comes in a range of colors and styles. That way, you can match your siding with the roof, windows, shutters, and exterior doors. Certain brands can even make vinyl siding to look like wood from a distance.
If you choose vinyl siding, you won’t have to worry about water, rot, or insect damage. Vinyl siding is weather resistant and can last for decades with proper maintenance.
