As a homeowner, you're probably looking for ways to increase your home value. As you start planning your home improvement projects, don't forget about your exterior! The outside of your home is the first thing people see when they approach your property. From siding installers to window replacement professionals, you have several ways to up the value of your home with various exterior projects.

1. Modern Siding

Your siding is the material that protects your home from the elements. It's also one of the keys to protecting your wallet. According to Today's Homeowner, new siding lowers heating bills by an estimated 8%. That said, the specific type of siding you choose may depend on your personal preferences, the aesthetic look you're going for, as well as the climate you're in. The right siding can protect your home for decades and help to insulate it to prevent heat loss in the winter.

At S & S Siding & Construction, we offer a variety of siding options from brands like LP SmartSide, Market Square Vinyl, and more. Our professional-grade siding is available in a wide range of textures and colors, allowing you to completely customize your home and maximize its curb appeal. Unlike older types of siding, it's also dirt-repellent and requires truly minimal maintenance. Upgrading your siding can transform how your home looks and functions.

2. New Windows
