Vinyl siding is becoming a popular choice for homeowners across the US as the product has undergone improvements since it’s introduction in the 1950’s. Choosing your own vinyl siding color in the Peabody area is something you can do yourself, however Bay State Exteriors does not recommend installing it on your own — here’s why.
Problems with a DIY Install
Homes along the Boston harbor, the North, and South Shore areas are accustomed to high winds throughout the year. For those who have vinyl siding, these winds can often cause trim blow-offs on the gable-end of homes when the siding isn’t installed properly.
Homeowners who install their own siding may also gravitate towards a thinner type of vinyl. Opting for a thinner style results in warping and the need to replace the siding sooner than you would with a thicker vinyl.
Forgetting to foam-back your vinyl siding is also another mistake with this DIY project. Without foam-backing your panels, this leaves an open space behind that can cause warping in the long term. Professional exterior contractors such as Bay State Exteriors will always make sure your siding is foam-backed to create a protective and insulated layer.
