If you’re looking to start an exterior renovation project in 2022, you should consider scheduling your project sooner rather than later. Why? Manufacturers are increasing material prices, and we are also seeing a shortage in availability. The prices have already gone up by 5 to 10% this year and are expected to go even higher in the coming months.
If you’re looking to start an exterior renovation project in 2022, you should consider scheduling your project sooner rather than later. Why? Manufacturers are increasing material prices, and we are also seeing a shortage in availability. The prices have already gone up by 5 to 10% this year and are expected to go even higher in the coming months.
As a result of the shortage, many homeowners are experiencing long delivery times. Supply shortages and high demand have caused vinyl siding costs to increase. The prices are expected to increase further at the beginning of the year and may rise again a few more times throughout the year. Moreover, material availability is expected to stay low in the coming months.
If you’re planning to replace your home’s siding, you shouldn’t wait any longer. The best way to lock in current prices is to start your renovation project as early as possible. It will help you to neutralize the impact of potential price fluctuations and allow you to get extra time to order materials.
James Hardie cement backer board is the most well-known product of James Hardie in the market. Fiber cement siding is made by mixing the wood pulp with other organic materials. With a large selection of colors and the look of natural wood-grain texture, homeowners appreciate the variety and feel. Unlike vinyl, fiber cement has a more natural wood board or shake look, giving the detailing precision.
Hardie fiber cement boards don’t need any extensive maintenance or cleaning. Just a traditional mold remover can be used as a part of your maintenance routine. If chipping or flaking of the boards occurs, you can occasionally touch them up. New Hardie board siding doesn’t need much maintenance for approximately ten to fifteen years.

Due to various reasons, many homeowners prefer vinyl siding over other materials.
It is a low-maintenance material that retains its color very well. Unlike other sidings, there’s no need to apply a fresh coat of paint every few years.
You won’t have to worry about insects or decay with vinyl like you would with wood siding. At the same time, it is pretty affordable, costing way less than other materials for siding like stucco, fiber cement, or steel.
Homeowners love the flexibility of vinyl siding in terms of size, texture, and color in recent years. Many homeowners seek vinyl as a durable option with a high ROI.
New installations of vinyl siding can instantly revitalize the look of your home. It can readily mimic high-end sidings so that you can get the same warmth and richness of wood at only a fraction of the original cost.
A high-quality siding like vinyl can reflect radiant heat out that will reduce the thermal conductivity of your home. So, your home will stay cool, and you will enjoy savings on energy bills.
The cost of your siding project depends on a host of factors. So, if you’re looking to allocate budget for your siding project, here’re some points you need to look for:
The most significant factor that will influence the cost of a siding project is the size of your home or the total area where you need to install the siding. It is always recommended to call a professional siding contractor to get an accurate quote for your job. Every job is unique, and professionals know how to tackle your home’s specific needs.
The design of your home is the next important factor that significantly influences the overall cost of the siding replacement project. The installation will be complicated if your home has a complex design with several unique features.
If you’re renovating your home, a subsequent cost is to remove the old siding. You can expect to pay around $1,000 to $3,000 on average, but again it depends on the size and complexity of the home’s exterior. Your siding contractor also has to inspect the condition of the underlying material because if there’s rot or damage, that may need to be replaced or repaired as well.
The type of siding is also a deciding factor in the cost of your siding project. At Grennan Construction, we offer both vinyl siding and James Hardie cement board.
