Top Reasons To Install New Siding Over Stucco

Stucco, which is a commonly used construction material made from a mixture of water, aggregate, and binder, will last for several years when properly installed. Unfortunately, when you install stucco on your home's exterior, it can degrade quickly and require constant care, cleaning, and repairs. If you have a stucco exterior, you might be considering installing siding over it.

Here are a few of the many reasons why you should definitely install siding over stucco. 

Siding Requires Far Less Maintenance Than Stucco

Stucco looks beautiful, but it is very difficult to maintain. Stucco must be properly cleaned and repaired periodically, or else the damage will spread, and you will need to completely remove the stucco and have it totally redone. Vinyl, fiber cement, or aluminum siding is extremely easy to maintain and only requires the occasional cleaning with a power washer to keep it looking beautiful.

Siding Will Update the Look of Your Home

Unfortunately, in addition to being difficult to maintain, stucco can also make your home look very dated. If there is extensive damage to the stucco, which occurs when the siding is exposed to the elements for several years, it can make your home also look drab and dingy. Upgrading the siding on your home to the latest model of vinyl or aluminum siding will give your exterior a much-needed refresh.

Install Siding to Increase Your Home's Value

If you are planning on selling your home in the future, it can be difficult to decide where to spend any renovation money to give you the best return on investment, or ROI. However, before you upgrade your appliances or purchase a new vanity for your master bathroom, consider upgrading your siding, especially if you have stucco. Your home's exterior will be the first thing potential buyers will see, and you want to create an amazing initial impression. When choosing the new siding for your home, make sure to choose a color that will appeal to many potential buyers.

Contact a Professional to Install the New Siding

If you are ready to upgrade your stucco exterior, always contact a professional to handle the installation. Installing siding over stucco can be difficult, and you must ensure the exterior wall under the stucco can support the siding.

From updating the look of your home to making your property more attractive to potential buyers, there are several reasons you should install beautiful new siding over your stucco exterior walls.
