There are many compelling reasons why a homeowner might want to reside their home. Perhaps the existing siding is showing signs of wear, like fading, cracking, or warping. Damage and age can make siding less effective, potentially impacting your home’s energy efficiency and protection from the elements. Residing offers a major style upgrade, giving the opportunity to completely transform the look of your house and boost curb appeal. Additionally, a siding update is a good investment, as it can add value to your home.
When deciding on a new siding material, there's an exciting array of options:
Fiber cement siding is a durable, low-maintenance exterior cladding option. It’s composed of cement, sand, and wood fibers, creating a material that resists rot, insects, warping, and even fire. Homeowners love fiber cement siding for its ability to mimic the look of traditional wood siding without the vulnerability to weather and pests. Additionally, fiber cement comes in a variety of colors and textures, offering design flexibility to enhance your home’s curb appeal. At Genesis Exteriors we specialize in James Hardie
Engineered wood siding is a manufactured product made from wood strands, fibers, and resins, resulting in a strong and dimensionally stable material. It offers the appearance of natural wood while boasting superior resistance to moisture, rot, and insect damage. Engineered wood siding is a cost-effective alternative to traditional wood, known for its durability and ease of maintenance. Plus, it often comes pre-primed for a long-lasting paint finish. We use LP SmartSide engineered wood products.
Insulated siding combines the traditional benefits of vinyl siding with a layer of foam insulation bonded to the back. This added insulation enhances your home’s energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs. It also increases the siding’s impact resistance and helps reduce noise transmission from the outside. Insulated vinyl siding is a great option for homeowners seeking the low-maintenance advantages of vinyl with the added comfort and savings of improved insulation. CedarMAX is our preferred insulated siding brand.
Vinyl siding is a popular choice for homeowners due to its affordability, durability, and low-maintenance requirements. Made from PVC plastic, vinyl siding is resistant to moisture, rot, and insect infestation. It also comes in a wide variety of colors and styles, allowing you to customize the look of your home. Vinyl siding is easy to clean and generally requires minimal upkeep, making it a hassle-free option for busy homeowners. We use MASTIC vinyl siding on our projects.
Stone and brick veneer offer a timeless and elegant look for your home’s exterior. These thin slices of natural or manufactured stone provide the aesthetic of traditional masonry without the significant weight and cost. Veneers are incredibly durable, resisting weather, fire, and insects. They also add a layer of insulation, potentially improving your home’s energy efficiency. Whether you are looking to do your whole home, a specific exterior wall, or as an accent to other types of siding, Genesis can do the work.
Soffit and fascia are two separate components that work together on your home’s exterior, specifically under the eaves (the overhang of your roof). Fascia: Imagine the fascia board as the long, straight board running horizontally along the outermost edge of the eaves. It’s like a trim board for the roof overhang. This is where your gutters are typically attached. Soffit: The soffit is the underside of that roof overhang. It’s the unseen area you look up at from below the eaves. Soffit panels fill the gap between the fascia and the wall of your house. Venting is often incorporated into soffit designs to allow air circulation within the attic space. Types of Soffit and Fascia: Materials: Both soffit and fascia can be made from various materials, including wood, aluminum, vinyl, and engineered wood. Soffit Styles: Soffit panels come in vented and non-vented options. Vented soffits are preferred for proper attic ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and improve energy efficiency. They can have a simple flat design or a more decorative profile. Fascia Styles: Fascia boards are typically simple and functional, but they can also have decorative profiles to complement your home’s overall style. Regardless of your siding selections, Genesis can match and install complimentary soffit and fascia.
