If you are planning on doing major renovations to your home, vinyl siding can be a great investment for your home. Vinyl siding gives you a lot of options to give exteriors a new custom design. You may want to create craftsman-styles or combine different materials for a design that includes more than just conventional lap siding. There are also options for custom molding and cornice features that can be done with a vinyl siding installation. The following information will help you with giving your home a new design with vinyl siding for exterior renovations:
Modern vinyl siding styles for a new custom look
Modern vinyl siding products come in many different colors, styles, and finishes. You are going to want to choose the best styles of siding to give your home a custom look you want for your renovations. Modern vinyl siding styles that you will want to consider for your custom exterior include:
- Contemporary siding styles with clean edges and solid surfaces
- Conventional lap siding styles for a more traditional look
- Board-and-batten siding for a custom exterior finish
- Modern vinyl siding veneers to create custom exterior finishes
These are custom vinyl siding styles that you can have installed on your home for a new exterior for your home renovations.
Energy improvements for new siding installation and home renovations
The energy design of your home can also be improved with vinyl siding for your renovations. There are several solutions that you will want to ask about before installing the new siding, which includes:
- Installing rigid foam board backing before the siding is installed
- Using vinyl siding products with built-in foam backing
- Installing modern house wrap moisture barriers before the siding is installed
These are energy improvements that you will want to talk to your installer about before installing the new vinyl siding.
Custom vinyl siding systems to give your home a more rustic exterior
There are also options for vinyl siding systems that can give your home a more rustic appearance. These materials include wood grain finishes and other systems for a more natural look with modern vinyl siding. The rustic vinyl siding systems to consider for the renovations you are planning for your home include:
- Woodgrain coloring for the finish of vinyl siding
- Timber textures and patterns for vinyl siding styles
- Modern vinyl log veneers for the look of a log home
These are a few rustic vinyl siding solutions that will help give your home a custom exterior when doing major renovations.
Custom vinyl siding soffit and cornice work to change the design of your home
The soffit and cornice that is installed can also be changed to give your vinyl siding more custom details. For the soffit, you may want to use wide moldings that help give the eaves details and showcase the lines of the architecture. The cornice can also have details added to it by using modern composite lumber materials instead of the typical bent metal fascia that is commonly used for the cornice on homes.
Improving the exterior with molding and trim details around existing vinyl windows
The molding and trim features of your siding project can be a lot more than the molding at eaves and cornice work. You will want to consider options to add wider molding and friezes around windows and doors. There are also custom details that can be added to enhance the appearance of these openings. Friezes can also be used to create a separation of the different vinyl styles that you are using to give the exterior finishes of your home a custom design.
Complete exterior renovations by having replacement windows installed with new siding
other options that you will want to consider when renovating your exterior with vinyl siding are replacement windows. The replacement windows can be vinyl units and different styles of windows. Some of the vinyl replacement window styles that you will want to consider for your home include:
- Sliding windows and doors to improve openings
- Casement and awning windows for modern window designs
- Traditional single and double-hung replacement windows
- Custom windows and doors with double-pane glass and window treatments
These are some of the vinyl replacement windows and doors that you will want to have installed with new siding to complete your exterior home renovations. In addition to replacement windows, you may want to talk to your siding installation service about functional storm shutters to help protect your home.
There are other materials that can be used for replacement windows when doing renovations. If you want to have more traditional windows, wood is still one of the most popular materials to use. For a more durable alternative to vinyl windows, you may want to talk to your siding contractor about using metal replacement windows for these improvements.
Additional architectural details with vinyl and composite lumber materials for your renovations
There are also several options for architectural details that can be added to your home when installing new vinyl siding. Some of the details that you should talk to your siding contractor about include:
- Columns with decorative molding details
- Custom railings for decks, patios, and landscaping
- Decorative elements added to the siding
- Custom cupolas and gable vents for the roof design
These are architectural details that you will want to ask about to improve the design of exterior renovations and the new vinyl siding installation. You will want to ask about adding details to the roof or replacing worn shingles to ensure all the exterior maintenance is completed when you are investing in major home renovations. Metal roofing solutions and products can also be used for some of the architectural details that you are planning for your new custom home exterior. These added details will help improve the appearance of your new siding and exterior renovations.
