2022 Home Siding Trends
Does your home's exterior need a facelift? You know that curb appeal is one of the most important aspects of any home. This is especially true if you are gearing up to put your home on the market. Giving your home's exterior some TLC is critical if your want your home to stand out, remain appealing, and even increase its value. How's your siding? Maybe it's looking a little dull, outdated, or showing signs of damage. Now would be the time to invest in new siding for your home. Consider these 2022 home siding trends below for your next siding home improvement project.
White is Trending Again in 2022
Rolling over from 2021, white siding is still a strong option for your home's exterior. Clean white never gets old, and boring beige and vibrant colors don't quite do it for sidings this season. White siding is ideal as a neutral color that gives a classic feel and acts as the perfect color for accenting. Whether you are buying new white siding or just repainting or whitewashing your existing siding, white is the way to go.
Brick is Still Popular
Brick siding is still popular among homeowners even though traditional lap siding or board siding is common in home construction today. Some people love the classic look of brick siding and even find it to be useful as accents to newer homes. Brick siding's appeal is its texture and historical aesthetic and less about the garish brick red color that many people think of. It's being painted to add flair and reflect the homeowner's personal taste and preference. White or whitewashed are common choices, but homeowners are opting for other colors for a bold pop.
Cement Siding is Dominant
Making waves in the siding market is cement siding, which is common in new construction today. Thanks to its durability and longevity, cement siding is a 2022 favorite. Vinyl and wood sidings will not stand the test of time and will eventually start to break down. Vinyl siding will crack and fade from sun exposure with time, while wood siding attracts termites that can damage the material but are also prone to rot and water damage. With cement siding, you don't have to worry about any of those problems because the material can stand up to bugs, corrosion, sunlight, and water. Cement siding is also known for its beauty and ability to create visual interest by mimicking natural wood grain.
Mix and Match Siding
Does mix and match siding sound a bit odd to you? Odd can be a good thing, though, and this popular trend uses different styles and sizes of cladding. In 2022, you'll see the unique combination, especially in modern homes, to highlight specific parts of a home. If playing with contrast, you could use different color siding to achieve visual appeal. This could add a distinct look to your home by playing with color, texture or adding decorative trim.

How to Decide Between Roof Repair and Roof Replacement

The fall is gradually coming to an end, and with it comes the cold winter. If you’re yet to prepare your home for the weather, now is the perfect time to do so. Check out our simple guide for how to prepare your home and the most important to-do list for winter. Check the Heating System Winter is a cold and long season, and one of the ways to combat the cold during this period is having an efficient heating system. Before the weather turns dreary and cold, you need to make sure your heating system is all in order. Have a professional come take a look at it and change the filters. Some of the things to look out for include screeching noise, blocked ducts, a faulty thermostat, and bad filters. You don’t want to wait until it’s too cold to discover that your heating system is underperforming. You can save yourself the frustration, money, and time by scheduling a routine maintenance check. Seal Windows and Doors Gaps in your windows/doors are the easiest way to lose heat during winter. If you have the budget, you can replace your windows and doors. However, if that isn’t in the books, you can explore other options like insulation or caulking. Besides, properly insulating your home before the cold comes will ensure your home stays warm during winter. Inspect your Chimney and Fireplace Your chimney and fireplace will be doing a lot of work soon; it’s only wise to inspect them before you start using them daily. Now is also the perfect time to stack that firewood and make sure you have enough to last for a long time. A physical inspection of both fireplace and chimney can ensure you’re good to go for the incoming wood burning. Some of the things to look out for include: Missing bricks from the chimney Debris or bed nest near the chimney cap Tree branches close to chimney Ensure that there are no missing bricks in the fireplace The fireplace is clean and dry No combustible materials near the fireplace and chimney Pack Your Outdoor Spaces Your outdoor space will see little or no action during the winter. Now is the best time to clean out your outdoor furniture and accessories to prevent any damage. Start by debugging your plants and packing the grill and furniture inside before the first snow hits. You can store these items away in your garage and bring them out once the snow is gone. Prepare For Winter Storms Winter storms may not happen often but you want to be prepared for when they do occur. Get a home and car emergency kit and place it somewhere reachable at all times. You also need to ensure your oil tank is full and, if possible, get a generator. The possibility of the power going off during a storm is quite high. However, with a fully-powered generator and reserved fuel, you can ride the storm without any qualms. Inspect the Roof You sure don’t want melting snow leaking down your roof in the thick of the winter. This is why you need a roof inspection to help you spot any potential issues. You can either do your roof inspection yourself or call a professional. If you’re going the DIY route, here are some of the things to check and do: Missing or damaged shingles Large accumulation of moss which may signal decay Trim tree branches close to the roof and house Check gutters for clogging, debris and corrosion. Depending on the damage you find, you may have to find a professional roof contractor for repairs.
