If you are looking to replace your siding for your Maryland home before the cooler weather arrives, you might be wondering which material is best. After all, siding is one of the most important elements of your home. It is the first line of defense against the weather, and it is quite literally the skin of your home, and the first thing people see when they look at it. There are a wide range of siding materials available, from vinyl to brick, fiber cement, wood, stone, aluminum and more. With all the options available to you, it can be difficult to know which material to choose, and which one will be best for your home in Maryland. 

It is important to understand which siding will best suit the Maryland climate. Furthermore, you will also want to know which siding material is the most durable, aesthetically pleasing and cost effective. In this article, we will be specifically looking at vinyl siding, and whether it is a good choice for homes in Maryland.

The Benefits of Vinyl Siding

Perhaps the biggest benefit of vinyl siding is that it is easy to maintain. Not only will it last you years without much maintenance, but it also comes in a large array of colors and textures from which to choose. When you opt for vinyl siding, you do not have to worry about re-painting your house every few years, so not only are you saving time, but you are also saving money on painting costs. Vinyl is known for not staining or discoloring, and if it gets marked or dirty, it can easily be washed off. Vinyl siding panels do not split or rot, meaning your home will not be exposed to moisture that may cause mold to grow or cause the structure of your house to become unstable.

Choosing Insulated Vinyl Siding

If you want a more energy efficient siding for your home, you can also opt for insulated vinyl siding. It has an R-value between 2 and 3.5 and not only does it work to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, it can also greatly reduce your energy costs. Insulated vinyl siding has also been known to make your home quieter as well, by reducing outside noise. It can also prevent rot, mold and mildew making its way into your home, which can even stop potential pest infestations.

The advantage of choosing vinyl siding over regular siding for your home in Maryland is it saves energy, decreases outside noise and reduces heat loss or gain from your house. The disadvantage is that it costs more than standard vinyl siding.

Is Vinyl Siding a Good Choice for Homes in Maryland?

As Maryland is situated near the Atlantic Coast, it is susceptible to hurricanes and other severe weather. Vinyl siding is an excellent choice for homeowners in Maryland as it protects your house from the heavy winds and rain that come with these storms. Vinyl siding is incredibly durable, rigid and wind resistant. By choosing vinyl siding, you are essentially providing your home with a sturdy, weather-proof barrier that protects it from the elements, be it wind, hail, snow or rain. This is because vinyl siding is made from materials that allow the moisture that hits it to slide off, instead of being absorbed into the material like other siding options.
