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.
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.
