Fortunately, the team at West Knox Windows and Siding is here to help. When it comes to siding installation in Knoxville, no one does it better than we do. With a number of colors and configurations available, there’s something for everyone.

But where should you start? As a matter of fact that’s the topic of today’s post, so if you’re on the fence about what the best option is for your home, hopefully the advice we offer below will come in handy. Whether you have a good idea of what you’d like done or you’re just starting out and hoping to get some ideas, this post is for you. Keep reading to learn more!

How to Pick the Right Siding

Consider a Color Scheme

First and foremost for many people out there is making a decision on the color of siding you’d like. If you’ve owned the home for awhile you might be thinking that it’s time for a change of pace in the color department; if the home is new to you and it’s in need of repairs, this is your opportunity to figure out what you want the exterior of your home to look like. Either way, this is a good thing!

It can be overwhelming, sure, but our advice is to simply drive around in your town and see which homes catch your eye. You’ll have to be careful to consider the fact that all you’re looking for is colors that pop out at you. This can be tricky to do, of course, because some homes combine color and style so perfectly that it can be hard to differentiate.

Our other advice about color is to look for advice online. You’ll find many style guides that will help you to choose colors that are appropriate for your style of architecture or the type of mood you want to create. Have a little fun with it!

Don’t Be Afraid to Mix It Up

Now there are quite a few ways that you can mix things up, but we’re talking in this specific case about the types of materials in use. If you’re redoing the siding on your home, it’s your opportunity to change things up in a way that makes sense to you (and falls under the guidelines of your homeowner’s association or metro district).

For example, if you’re making some changes, the team at West Knox Windows and Siding could do a combination of vinyl siding installation and stacked stone installation. Or, of course, if you have vinyl now, we can replace the whole thing with stone, or vice versa. The possibilities are endless and you’re only limited by your creativity. If you’d like some advice, we’d be happy to come out to provide you with a free estimate, answer any questions you might have, or provide an eye for detail that comes after years of being in this line of work.

Think About Curb Appeal

Perhaps you’re considering selling your home in the near future. You’ve already spoken with a realtor and gotten a basic idea of what you can sell for, but is there anything you can do to help improve your resale value, pulling in more potential buyers who are enticed by the fact that you’ve already taken care of some major updates?

The subject of this blog has to do with fixing up the siding, but our team can also handle everything from replacement windows to screen room additions to gutter installations. In other words, many of the things that will be attractive to a potential buyer are things that we can handle. The choice is yours, of course, but why not (to use a time-tested old phrase) kill two birds with one stone? Either way, a boost in curb appeal can only help you to sell your home more easily, and that’s never a bad thing.

West Knox Windows and Siding is proud to offer a different way of doing business. We know just how stressful it can be to make the decision to get new siding—and all of the headaches that can come along with it.

Why Consider Replacing the Vinyl Siding on Your House?

Vinyl Siding Holds Its Color

One of the huge benefits of vinyl siding is that it will hold its color. In days past, vinyl siding would yellow with age, but thanks to modern technology this is no longer a concern. In other words, if you go to the effort to pick out the perfect shade of blue for the siding on your home, it will stay the perfect shade of blue, ensuring that your home looks its best for many years to come.

Technology has come a long way even over the past decade or so and constant improvements mean better products for homeowners everywhere. We’re lucky to be living in this day and age of amazing technological advances. Speaking of which…

Vinyl Siding Is Engineered to Stand the Test of Time

Modern vinyl siding is specifically engineered to last. Thanks to added impact modifiers and rigid design improvements, new vinyl siding will stand the test of time and look great doing it. There’s a lot of talk about “space age polymers” and “indestructible plastics” and the truth of the matter is that many of these advancements in technology have led to greater durability when it comes to siding.

There’s an old saying–“buy it nice or buy it twice.” The good news is that modern vinyl siding is sturdier than it’s ever been before, ensuring that you get a great product that will last.

Vinyl Siding Can Lower Your Energy Costs

Perhaps most importantly is the fact that vinyl siding can lower your energy costs. Quality products that are installed by real craftsmen will create a maintenance-free environment that can save you big on energy costs.

At the end of the day, who doesn’t want to save a bit of money? If you can get vinyl siding that will hold up well, keep its color, and keep your energy bills down in the process…well that’s basically a home run no matter how you look at it!

How Can You Improve the Exterior of Your Home

Rethink Your Landscaping

One of the biggest things you can do to improve the visual appeal of your home’s exterior is by making a few changes to the landscaping. The good news is that you don’t have to go overboard, because a few small changes can add up to making a massive difference.

Tired of everything looking barren? Consult with your local florist or home center and plant a few easy-to-care-for flowers or shrubs around your home. Trust us when we say that the first time you pull around the corner and see the flowers in bloom, you’ll know that it was completely worth it.

There are countless ways to improve the landscaping of your home, and the wonderful thing about living in the modern era is that all it takes is a quick Google search to get some inspiration. From there, figure out what you like and get the ball rolling.

Cultivate a Cozy Porch

Does your home have a porch or patio? Do you find that you aren’t actually using it very often? If that’s the case, there’s a good chance that a few improvements could turn what is currently a wasted bit of square footage into something that you and your family truly love.

Too bright? Add a lattice with a climbing plant to block the sun. Too plain? Add some planter boxes and plant some flowers. Nowhere to sit? Head to your local home center and grab some patio furniture. While you’re there, focus on what you can do to make the space cozy. After all, the goal is to want to actually spend time on your porch!

While you’re making changes, be sure to keep in mind that the team at West Knox Windows and Siding offers porch and patio sliding door replacement and sliding door installation services, allowing you to get onto your porch of patio in style!

Think About the Little Things

What small tweaks can you make around the exterior of your home to make it better? Like we said above, you don’t have to go overboard. It could be as simple as replacing the rocks that surround your house with a color of gravel that you prefer. You could take on a small project like painting the trim around your windows or installing some pre-made shutters.

Do you like experiencing nature? Take some time this weekend and build a birdhouse! Birdhouses are easy to build even if you’re inexperienced and they can be customized to suit your unique needs.

What other little things can you do around your home? Each living space is different, so put a bit of thought into what you can do and get to work.

Like most things in life, the siding on your home is inevitably going to need a bit of refreshing at some point or another. It is our firm belief that there’s nothing that adds more pop to a home, boosting curb appeal in the process, than new vinyl siding for a home. At West Knox Windows and Siding, we believe that vinyl is one of the best house siding options out there in terms of both looks and overall durability.

That’s why if you’re considering siding replacement for your home in the Knoxville area, today’s post is for you. There are a number of benefits to getting new siding and in today’s blog, we’d like to walk you through a few of those reasons. Keep reading to learn more!

Your Source for Vinyl Siding Installation in Knoxville

This Old House sums it up perfectly (as they often do about all things home improvement) when they say the following: “For most homeowners, it means eliminating the hassle and expense of repainting their house every five years or so – or paying someone else to do it. Besides saving work, vinyl siding can save you money.”

We couldn’t agree more. Although wood siding has been a great option in the past, the truth of the matter is that technology has advanced greatly when it comes to vinyl siding, making it a great option for many homeowners who prefer to eliminate future exterior maintenance, save on energy costs, and boost the resale value of their homes. Of course we realize what a big decision this can be, but when it comes to exploring your house siding options, we believe that vinyl siding is one of the absolute best choices on the market today.

What’s So Great About Vinyl Siding?

It Holds Its Color

It’s certainly true that in the past, people were opposed to having vinyl siding on their homes because of the fact that it would yellow with age. The great news is that this isn’t nearly as much of a concern anymore. As we mentioned above, advances in technology have made it much easier to combat the wear and tear of days past. Nowadays, siding lasts much longer and keeps its look for longer as well. Speaking of which…

It Looks Great

Modern vinyl siding almost always looks incredible. Thanks to grain patterns and improvements in quality all around, you’ll likely notice that new vinyl siding looks great from the moment it is installed and it stays looking better for longer.

It Can Lower Energy Costs

This type of siding is also great for keeping your energy costs to a minimum. Wood–even wood that has been treated to withstand the elements–can expand and contract. It’s organic, so that’s just the way things work. Vinyl, on the other hand, is made specifically to be resistant to warping. Issues with heat in the past cause some to be skeptical, but once again, modern technology prevails, making vinyl siding a great option because it can withstand the elements, staying in place longer and keeping heat or cool air in. Proper installation makes all the difference in the world, but when done the right way, it can save you big bucks.

The Knoxville Siding Contractors You Can Count On

Let’s go back to a bit of advice from our friends at This Old House again. They note that homeowners will “need a competent contractor” because “proper installation is at least as important as product quality.” Once again, we are in complete agreement. At West Knox Windows and Siding, we have the experience needed to get the job done right. Our care for each project we complete and the attention to detail we bring to work each day are testaments to this fact.

Additionally, we are proud to offer a true Lifetime Guarantee. You see, we truly believe that the workmanship we offer is only as good as the warranty that backs it. That’s why we are proud to offer some peace of mind for the work that we do. We want to cover every single aspect of the projects that we undertake and that includes labor, materials, and installation. In short, we hope that it will show our clients that we are dedicated to doing the job right and making sure that it lasts for the long haul. It really is as simple as that.
