Siding & Exterior Contractors in New Zealand.

What Types of Siding Do Exterior Contractors Use?

Generally, exterior remodeling contractors will work with siding that conforms to the region’s climate, the look of your neighborhood and the style of your home. Vinyl siding might not suit an Arts and Crafts–style home, but if you live by the water, a vinyl shake siding exterior might be best. The choices for home exteriors and siding materials are varied, and they all have unique advantages and drawbacks.

Wood siding needs more maintenance than less-expensive, low-maintenance vinyl siding, but with proper care it will outlast vinyl siding, which can fade and crack over time. Your New Zealand contractor might also suggest fiber cement siding, which is fire resistant and termite-proof and can come with a warranty of up to 50 years.

Combining different materials and colors can make your house look like a brand-new home. A ful- service exterior remodeling contractor can often provide you with some planning tools that will show you before and after images of your home. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of cladding & exteriors: General Contractors, Architects & Building Designers, Roofing & Gutters, Home Builders, Design and Build.

Some questions to ask a prospective siding and exterior contractor:

• Are you a full-service provider?
  
• Do you offer a free inspection and an itemized estimate?
  
• What certifications do you have, and what warranties do you offer?
  
• Are you licensed?
  
• What is your insurance coverage?
  
• How do you handle cleanup?
  
• Can you show me any completed projects?
