© Home Renovations, Inc 2012 Made by Weber Media Group Siding - FAQ’s: Q. Why should I invest in steel siding instead of vinyl. A. In our severe weather climate here in North Central Montana, the advantages of steel siding over vinyl far outweigh the added cost.  Vinyl siding is susceptible to both separation due to wind and hail damage (or the occasional baseball).  Steel siding is impervious to the elements and is a far better choice for our area. Q. Painting is much cheaper than steel siding, why install siding? A. While the initial expense of painting is less money, what is the actual cost comparisons?  Say it costs $2500 to fully paint the exterior of your home, and that paint job lasts the average 5-6 years, then the next time you paint, due to inflation, that next paint job is $3000.  Now you are over $5500 for a product that is due to fail in the next 5-6 years.  Steel siding is a lifetime warranty product that works for you 24/7, 365 days of the year.  It is a tangible product that you own and increases the value of your home.  If that steel siding increases the value of your home by $10000, then you can see that over the course of time, steel siding actually costs LESS than painting your home over and over. Q. Can I get a quote over the phone? A. It is virtually impossible to give a quote over the phone.  There are so many factors involved with giving a price.  All of our products are made custom for your home.  A representative of Home Renovations must go to the prospective job site to measure and evaluate any extra circumstances that may affect the pricing.
