Does Siding Boost Your Home’s Value?

posted on July 10, 2018

Updating your home's siding.Your home is everything to you and you want to make certain that you protect your investment. There are many ways you can do that. Maintaining your home is a big part of it. Staying ahead of normal wear and tear will pay off when it comes time to sell your home. But are there home improvement projects that will increase your home’s value? There certainly are and at Good Guys Contracting we’re experts at installing one product that can increase your home’s value: James Hardie Siding.

Good Guys Gives You Expert Installation of James Hardie Siding

Good Guys has expertise in many projects, from building porches and porticos to installing Marvin Windows and Doors. But siding is one of our specialties. We’re a James Hardie preferred remodeler. That means we work with James Hardie to meet the companies exacting standards. Good Guys will give you the best installation of this high quality fiber cement siding that you can find. And we want to tell you about why siding can boost your home’s values.

Siding and Return on Investment

One of the most important reasons why siding will boost your home value is return on investment (ROI). Each year, Remodeling Magazine takes a look at popular remodeling projects and determines their ROI. The 2018 results are out and once again siding replacement has seen a strong return. According to Remodeling, replacing 1,250 square feet of existing siding with new siding recoups 76.7 percent of the cost you paid, which is up slightly from 2017’s figure of 76.4 percent.

A separate survey from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry  (NARI) shows that installing fiber-cement siding like James Hardie Siding gives an even higher cost recovery. According to NARI, installing fiber cement siding gives you a 83 percent return on your initial cost in value.

Why Consumers Love Fiber Cement Siding

In addition to looking at cost and value, NARI also looked at consumer satisfaction. They assign a “joy score” rating satisfaction on a scale of 1-10, and fiber cement siding installation received a joy score of 10. Among the common reasons why homeowners were satisfied with their installation is the siding’s durability and long lasting results. Another reason given by customers for choosing fiber cement siding is durability. The San Francisco Chronicle lists other reasons why fiber-cement siding is attractive to homeowners. One reason they cite is the fact that it’s moisture resistant, which means homes will be protected from the elements.

In the case of James Hardie, your siding is specifically engineered to match the climate of the zone, so it will stand up to snow, cold and anything else Long Island weather throws at us. Fiber cement siding keeps moisture out and also protects your home from fire, pests and rot. And with a wide variety of colors available you’ll enhance curb appeal too.
