If you are building a new home, or replacing the siding on an existing home, you have a decision to make. Should you invest in premium siding, or try to keep your upfront costs as low as possible? Before deciding, consider this: does the short-term savings of a cheaper siding outweigh the long term cost savings and your home value?
Premium siding materials like Pura NFC by Trespa, look great and add value to your home.
The Case for Premium Cladding
- A higher end, premium siding or cladding material looks better. It’s that simple. Seriously, who wants ugly siding or cheap looking siding?
- Speaking of good looks, higher end cladding gives your home or property immediate curb appeal.
- And any good-looking siding or cladding that adds curb appeal, will add value to your home. Talk to a real estate professional. It's almost a certainty that they will recommend better looking cladding to your home.
- Premium siding and cladding not only add property value, they will help your home sell faster when it's time to move.
- Premium grade claddings generally last longer than lower-cost siding, making them a better long-term value.
- The longer your siding material lasts, the better your return on investment, and the lower the overall lifecycle cost of your home.
Premium Cladding and Siding Options
High end siding and premium cladding options may cost you more up front. However, the increased value of your home can more than offset the initial cost difference. And you can’t put a price tag on your years of enjoyment of a beautiful new home façade.
