Heat Effects on Siding in Salem

 

Heat Damage? Siding Repair Contractor Needed


Vinyl and wood siding can be adversely affected by hot weather. With record hot temperatures this summer siding needs to be checked for damage.! Combined with strong UV exposure home siding in Salem can have damages such as buckling, peeling, or warping.

This reduces the protection of your home and also will not look good on the exterior if the damages are more than just a small patch.

Having  a grill near siding can also cause the same effects. Make sure the grill is at least ten feet away from siding. 

Siding can also fade as a result of sun exposure over time. Painting is a temporary solution however paint can also chip, flake and discolor over time. 

If your siding is old then replacing it is probably the best option. 

The types of siding available today are superior in construction and material, such as Hardyplank - cement siding that is impervious to weather and has the best durability on the market. Depending on the project we may provide discounts on the materials needed.

Stay cool.

New Siding Review and Moldblock Technology

 Siding Contractor News

 A New Testimonial on Facebook
We are happy to see another new positive testimonial/review on Facebook about an exterior siding project.
"We got four bids to replace our siding. VA and Sons was the least AND included painting. But that wasn't the only reason we went with them. They have years of experience and know how to work with Hardieplank. They own their equipment and did not have to rent dumpsters, saws, ladders, etc. The workers were courteous and quickly changed any issue we discussed with them. The house was completed in eight days and we love the way it looks."




There are many different types of siding, and yet one stands out as superior to all the others. This is a description of one of many of the Hardieplank Siding products. 

Hardiebacker - Moldblock Technology

One product that is favorable for a wet climate like Oregon is HardieBacker, with MoldBlock Technology that offers the most comprehensive and flexible strength available, while providing superior protection against moisture and mold damage. James Hardie products are as close to "Green" as you can get in a building material used for siding. The ingredients are easily renewable and they last longer than other products. James Hardie developed the most popular form of siding - cement board - and continues to develop products that meet consumer needs for sustainability and protection.

James Hardie's Guide to Board and Batten Siding

 Siding Solutions for Exterior Remodeling
and Home Improvement

In a blog post - Board and Batten Siding - on the website of James Hardie - the top siding manufacturer in the U.S., this type of siding style is explained in detail.

The style  is a popular trend although it has been in use for 200 years. It has vintage appeal and could be considered as an option for Salem homeowners in their home improvement plans.

As described in the article:
"The style evolved in the United States as a more efficient alternative to the log cabin. Barns and houses with board and batten siding were inspired by Nordic European buildings and gained popularity in America sometime around the middle of the 19th century.

Traditionally, board and batten siding starts with wide vertical planks (boards), which are then joined together by thin vertical strips (battens) to cover the seams. Homesteaders and farmers would use sawmills to cut the long boards, and the battens were put in place to make the structure as airtight as possible. Farmers embraced the style when building barns because the technique was inexpensive, assembly was relatively simple, and the result was energy efficient."

By combining the traditional look of board and batten siding with the modern Jame Hardie cement based siding products, the best of both worlds can be achieved.

"V.A. and Sons replaced the siding on my house and painted the entire house. They did an outstanding job. Gene and his crew were courteous and considerate. They completed the job quickly and the price was very reasonable. Much lower than the estimates that I had received from other contractors.
