Install and Regularly Clean Vinyl Siding to Sell Your House for More

by Vinyl Renu Products A house is the most expensive purchase many people will ever make in their lives. With a median price of $228,700, a house costs 10 times as much as a sedan and more than 500 times as much as a smart phone. It is also a long-term purchase. Some mortgage loan terms in the U.S. last for as much as 50 years. In fact, buying a house is such a big decision that some experts suggest us to consider our houses as an investment. “With a typical home, you can expect average annual appreciation of 3%-5%,” says a mortgage expert Erin Lantz in The Wall Street Journal. “The double-digit annual returns we're experiencing now in some markets aren't normal or realistic,” she adds. If you agree with the experts and consider your house an investment, you will want a healthy return on it a few years down the line. But how can you get it?
 
There are two ways to increase the market price of your house and get a healthy return. First, make it more efficient, cozy, and functional. Second, work on its look from the outside to the inside. Installing vinyl siding can hit two birds with one stone. It can boost your house’s energy efficiency and give it a brand new and attractive look, making your home the envy of the neighborhood.
 
Vinyl Siding Improves Heat Efficiency

Walls account for 25 percent of heat loss. It is equivalent to leaving one wall uninsulated. Siding can put an end much of this heat loss and bring down your energy bill. Vinyl siding has an R-value of 0.61. A higher R-value suggests better insulation. As an insulating material, its performance is better than brick or stone (0.44), two-inch stuccos (0.40), fiber cement (0.37), and one-inch brick or stone veneer (0.11). It can be a unique selling point when you contemplate moving to another place and selling your home.
 
Vinyl Siding Has Great Looks

Vinyl siding is beautiful. It comes in several colors. You can choose the one to match your preferences. It is advisable not to be carried away with what is in vogue and stick with conservative colors and keep them timeless.

Care Of Your Vinyl Siding

It is very important to properly take care of your siding.  If you do, it will look fantastic for 30-50 years.  Always use a high performance vinyl siding cleaner.   The absolute best cleaner for vinyl siding is made by OneSource Organics.  Their Vinyl Renu Cleaner Concentrate was designed for use on vinyl siding and used by many vinyl siding manufacturers.  As a whole, it outperforms all vinyl siding cleaners.  We recommend yearly cleaning at a minimum using Vinyl Renu Cleaner Concentrate.  Also note: NEVER USE BLEACH on vinyl siding.  It can potentially further the oxidation process which can lead to your siding looking faded or chalky.

To really keep the siding looking beautiful you must protect it from fading.  Everything under the sun fades.  No matter how much you spent on your vinyl siding or how long the manufacturer promises, everything will fade.  Vinyl siding is no exception.  It will begin to fade within a few years.  The same company that makes the cleaner also makes a restorer and protector called Vinyl Renu.  Even if your siding has not significantly faded, it would be a good idea to apply the Vinyl Renu Treatment.  It will protect from fade for a decade or more.  If your siding is very faded, Vinyl Renu will restore the color of your siding and help resist fading for a decade or so. 

So keep your siding looking new through the regular use of a vinyl siding cleaner, such as Vinyl Renu. A gorgeous exterior alone can add a few thousand dollars to your house’s market price.
 
To sum up, great looking vinyl siding can make it easier to sell your house for a higher price. Installing it can lower energy bills and cleaning it with best cleaners for vinyl siding (Vinyl Renu) will help keep your home beautiful long after you sell.
