We are slowly heading towards the end of summer, with the cooler and wetter days of fall looming on the calendar. Although most homeowners are probably more immediately concerned with keeping their homes cool during the August heat, preparing your home now for the fall and winter is very important.
At Phoenix Siding we recommend paying close attention to the state of your exterior siding, as well as window frames, doorways and other places that could have been damaged over the summer. The exterior of your may require some repairs, and in some cases be in need of entirely new siding. While no homeowner wants an unexpected major expense such replacing the siding of their home, it’s much better to do it now rather than later. If issues in your home are left unaddressed, the fall and winter weather can cause much more costly damage to your home.
At Phoenix Siding we recommend choosing a new siding that will withstand harsh weather conditions, such as durable vinyl or inherently hardy Cedar siding—no matter your preference, we have the right siding material for you and your home.
As the colder weather approaches, making sure your home is properly insulated is critical to spending the winter in comfort without huge heating bills. Correctly installed insulation delivers superior results when it comes to the comfort of your home and increased savings in your bank account.
We provide clients in communities across central Vancouver Island with experienced and professional siding renovation and maintenance services. No matter if it’s just a small repair or a major siding replacement, we’re here to assist you in getting your home ready this fall season.
Another vital benefit of taking care of your home exterior is new siding can greatly increase the value of your home, further extending your investment. Cedar siding or Hardie-plank siding are both a huge boost to upping the value of any West Coast home, and durable as well. Additionally, new vinyl windows will instantly increase the beauty and the value of the exterior of your home
As you prepare for fall and winter, remember to check gutters and replace old and/or damaged ones. Leaky or damaged gutters can cause expensive damage to your roof and siding. Installing new eavestroughs also helps to protect your landscaping and walkways by directing water away from the home and preventing it from damaging the siding.
In addition, if you haven’t heard about our Leaf Guard products, now is the perfect time to find out if you can have it installed on your home. Our Leaf Guard system not only prevents build-up of debris in gutters, but also allows for more effective drainage of rain and snow from your roof.
When it comes to fall weatherproofing, we highly recommend installing House Wrap. It improves the energy efficiency of the home and helps prevent outside air and water from entering the interior. And if mold and mildew are concerns, then House Wrap takes care of moisture build-up problems and mitigates these potential issues.
