Professionally Installed Vinyl Siding, Soffits and Fascia's

Having vinyl siding installed on your home or business is a great way to reduce utility bills and lower maintenance cost by reducing the amount of maintenance that is required in the upkeep of homes and buildings. It can also add a tremendous amount of curb appeal while increasing your properties value.

There are many other benefits to having your home or business sided with vinyl siding.

Here are some you should know about:

For starters:

Insulated vinyl siding is extremely energy efficient and can save you up to 30% on your utility bills (sometimes more) by keeping the cold out in the winter and the cool in during the hot steamy summer months.
Limitless Options:

Vinyl siding is available in variety of colors and styles giving endless options for a new look or or a look that works with your properties existing style; vinyl siding even comes in composites that look like real wood, stone or brick.

Extremely Versatile:

As vinyl siding has become one of the most cost effective solutions in areas with extreme weather changes from season to season like Upstate New York, vinyl siding has long-lasting durability that withstands the harsh cold winter and hot, wet summer weather and protects your home or building from the damages those elements can cause; repelling moisture, mildew and mold.
Worry Free:

Professional, properly installed vinyl siding requires less maintenance; there's no need paint or seal, so nothing to worry about aside from minimal upkeep usually in the form of pressure or power washing.

Siding along with a well maintained roof and gutter system increases property value while adding aesthetics and efficiency; plus all the "New Look's" you get from family, friends, neighbors and/or customers

Siding, Soffit and Fascia Repair

In our experience, more often that not - damage occurs to the siding, fascia and soffits of homes and buildings because of gutter system failures in combination with extreme weather conditions like season change.

The weather in Upstate New York can be particularly brutal to home and building exteriors; roof edges where gutters, fascia and soffits exist get it the worst. Whether it's just gutter and trim falling down from ice build up or the entire overhang is damaged; New Look's can do the job or fix the problem neatly with a lasting solution. Aluminum trim and vinyl coverings work well in these areas and can last a lifetime. By adding soffit panels and aluminum fascia covering especially when getting a new gutter system installed or as a replacement to cover to wood, makes the entire area low maintenance like vinyl siding; easier cleaning, nothing to paint.

Wood siding, fascia and soffits have a high maintenance cost, requiring a lot of upkeep; even harder to repair. It could cost you upwards of $500 to $1500 (or more depending on the size of your home or building) in paint, stain and sealer alone as a recurring cost every few years or so. Using vinyl and aluminum eliminates the high costs of maintaining wood exterior elements on your home or building. Whenever possible we always recommends replacing anything wood with vinyl and aluminum which not only improves the look of the overall property your building or home is on, it also increases your properties value.

The Importance of Soffit and Fascia to Your Home or Building

Soffit:

Soffits help keep damage causing moisture, leaf, tree branches, insects and small rodents out a crucial area of your home or business "the roof eves;" preventing wood rot, mold and mildew build up along with other problems that can lead to roof failure over time. Soffits also provide the essential ventilation your roof and attic space requires just below the roof deck and plays a key role in temperature maintenance when a roof is properly insulated. The soffit area of your roof is what you see under the eves or the belly of the roof.

Fascia:

Fascia is used to protect the roof and interior of your home or business from rain water and moisture by blocking it from entry at the outer edge of your roof. It also serves as an aesthetic role creating an even appearance all the way around your roofs edge. In most cases this is the area your gutter system is attached to. The fascia is what you see looking at the sides and edges of your roof.

If water gets behind your fascia either from damage, improper installation, or other factors like shingle overhang, no drip edge, clogged gutters, ice damage or severe weather your roof and interior is vulnerable to damage which can turn into an expensive project fast.

When Should Siding be Replaced

All siding "even vinyl siding" eventually needs to be replaced. Being aware of the signs of wear and tear or damage is important so you know when it is time to replace your siding.

Poor Installation:

It's really important you hire the right experienced professionals to install or repair your vinyl siding. Siding that is improperly hung; nailed to tight or at an angle allows siding to become damaged easily. If it is unable to move by expansion and contraction you start to see warps and bulges causing panels to buckle.
Sign of Melting:

Grilling to close or focused sun light can melt and warp your siding leading to other types of damage. It's not as common but even a neighbor who has high efficiency windows can refract and reflect light that can also cause melting and warping of your siding.
Damage From Insects:

While siding helps to protect your home or building from the elements, overtime or from damages it can become a good home for many unwanted pests like wasps, bees, ants, termites and other insects. If you notice small holes in your siding this is usually a sign of infestation; which can lead to other problems like water damage.

Mold Growth and Mildew:

Generally prevalent in wood and stucco siding as vinyl siding is naturally moisture and mold resistant, if you notice white, gray or black spots on your siding your likely dealing with a moisture problem and have a mold or mildew infestation. In the case of vinyl moisture can get trapped behind the panels usually caused by poor installation or improper maintenance like improper cleaning and pressure washing.
Damage from the Underlying Structure:

As homes and building age overtime, they settle. Settling can cause siding to buckle, bulge and even snap. This can cause additional structural and foundation damage, to avoid additional damages you should have your siding replaced.

Water leaking behind siding is a big problem that's common for many home and building owners. Usually by the time you notice it, its too late - the damage has been done! Vinyl siding is completely waterproof and because of that other damaged or improperly installed areas of siding, gutters, soffits and fascia can leave gaps allowing moisture behind vinyl siding where it then becomes trapped causing damage like rot and mold to occur.

The solution to avoid this from happening is to keep gutters and downspouts clog free as well as replacing damaged soffits, fascia and drip edges along with flashing around windows and doors. New Look's Renovations recommends you or a service do a close inspection of your home or buildings siding at least two to three times a year.
