Do you have a brick home that is in horrible condition and could use a bit of a makeover? If so, consider upgrading the exterior of your home with vinyl siding. Here are 4 reasons why it will be a great choice to improve the look of your home.

Variety of Materials

One of the nice things about vinyl siding is how there is a great variety of materials available to you. You will have a wide range of colors and textures to choose from, so there will definitely be an option that will work great for your home. Since vinyl is a machine-made material, you don't have to worry about going to various stores to pick out the type of material you want due to it being in limited quantity. You can even order from a catalog and have the siding visualized on your home to preview what it will look like.

Easy Maintenance

If you currently have a brick home, you may be well aware of how the mortar between the bricks will need tuckpointing after years of abuse from the weather. This is not only expensive but is a time consuming and messy process to have done to your home. Vinyl siding doesn't require that kind of maintenance. If the siding is dirty, all you'll need to do is clean the surface to get rid of the dirt. If a panel breaks, you simply replace that section of siding with a new one. Many of these things can even be done on your own if you are handy enough to take on the job.

Quick Installation

The total amount of time it takes to install vinyl siding on your home will depend on the actual square footage of external walls. However, most vinyl siding jobs can be done fairly quickly. If you have an average size home, expect the entire process to take about a week to complete. This allows your home makeover to be completed in a very fast manner so that you can enjoy the benefits immediately.

Durable Material

Vinyl siding itself is quite durable and will be able to withstand various weather conditions over the years. For example, if you live in a region that sees extremely hot summers or winters, the vinyl siding will be able to keep up with the weather and not become damaged because of a drastic change in temperatures. The vinyl material is also not susceptible to moisture damage and can take on high winds. There is a risk of panels cracking due to impact damage, but that is only if you live in an area that is susceptible to hurricanes and flying debris.
