WHAT IS INCLUDED IN AN EXTERIOR ENVELOPE REPLACEMENT?
The exterior envelope of your home includes components that protect the interior from the rain, snow, sun, and other outside elements. Something that many people don’t know is that an exterior envelope replacement offers many more benefits than weather protection, though.
In this blog, we’ll introduce the key exterior envelope services we offer at Top Form Contracting and explain a few reasons why these services might be right for your home.
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN AN EXTERIOR ENVELOPE REPLACEMENT?
Here are the most common features of an exterior envelope replacement:
SIDING
Siding, one of the main components of an exterior envelope replacement, provides a protective layer to the outside walls of buildings. It typically comes in wood, fiber cement, vinyl, or metal, and it is simple to maintain with the right siding installation contractor’s help.
WINDOWS
Windows come in multiple shapes and sizes, such as single hung, double hung, and arched. They can be strategically placed throughout your home during construction or used to replace old windows.
DOORS
If you’re looking to install a new front door, you have several options to choose from. Turn heads, and boost your curb appeal with a new entrance to your home. Front doors can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and fiberglass.
TRIM
Trim is the framing material that covers the windows and doors. It typically comes in wood but can be found in synthetic materials, such as fiber cement. Ensuring your exterior trim is in good shape is key to keeping your home looking its best and keeping water out.
WHY GET AN EXTERIOR ENVELOPE REPLACEMENT?
Homeowners looking to make upgrades can benefit from an exterior envelope replacement. Here’s what it can do for you:
BOOST HOME VALUE
Over several years, the outside elements can damage, warp, and wear away at your home’s siding and trim. If you plan to sell your home, remember that exterior upgrades can make it more attractive to potential buyers. Installing new exterior elements can increase your home value by adding a fresh new appearance and durability.
IMPROVE INSULATION
Have you ever noticed a draft of cold air coming in through the front door or windows? Are you unable to keep the inside of your home at the desired temperature? This may be due to worn-out trim around your doors and windows, as well as outdated siding. Replacing the exterior elements of your home can fix that.
INCREASE ENERGY SAVINGS
Whether you’re using oil, gas, or electricity to heat your home, consider the energy-saving benefits when you replace your siding or windows. In addition to better interior temperature regulation, you might notice a drop in your utility expenses. That’s because Top Form Contracting offers exterior envelope components with energy efficiency in mind.
