Bellwether is proud to be an Elite Preferred James Hardie contractor because we believe in the quality and the benefits
Whether you are buying a home, working on a home renovation, or building something new it is important to consider your home’s exterior. The Bellwether origin story includes siding expertise, and with our history and extensive knowledge, we can help you make the best siding decision for your home or building project.
Siding, or wall cladding, is the protective material attached to the exterior walls of a house or other building. Like a shell that is both protective and beautiful, siding enhances a home’s aesthetic while protecting the interior from the outdoor environment.
Siding materials drive your home’s appearance and style, but siding is also a necessary, functional element of your home’s construction and efficiency. Home siding is a reliable and economical way to beautify and protect your home, with plenty of options to satisfy different tastes and budgets.
There is a wide and expanding variety of siding materials, both natural and artificial, and each with its own benefits and drawbacks.
At Bellwether, we are familiar with all of these different varieties. We can help you navigate the benefits and drawbacks of each siding type so that you can determine the best material for your home’s safety, efficiency, and style. Our offerings and expertise include high quality, high value fiber cement siding, such as James Hardie or Nichiha products; durable, long-lasting metal siding; beautiful and natural wood and wood-composite siding; and low-maintenance and affordable vinyl siding.
Whatever siding materials you choose, each option offers protective and enduring benefits when properly installed. Bellwether siding experts use various techniques for home siding. These styles of joining the pieces range from board and batten, where the butt joints of each panel are covered with a thin strip, usually 1-2 inches wide to a clapboard method, also called lap siding, in which planks are laid horizontally across the wall, starting from the bottom and building up, the board below overlapped by the board above it. Choosing a certain joinery technique is a matter of aesthetic taste. When properly installed by our Bellwether team, all techniques are designed to secure and seal your home.
Along with the roof, siding forms the first line of defense against the elements. Most importantly, Bellwether siding shields your home from sun, rain, snow, heat, and cold, while also protecting against moisture, mildew and mold, and unwanted pests, creating a stable and more comfortable environment on the interior side.
Not every homeowner will choose siding. For example, masonry walls do not require siding, but it is important to note that any wall can be sided. Walls that are internally framed, whether with wood or steel I-beams, must always be sided. Your choice to use siding on your home will be influenced by aesthetic goals, as well as environmental needs. Bellwether experts can determine your home’s best siding options based on a design plan, while also considering your home’s location and related elements. For example, a home in the mountains requires certain siding options, different from home siding in a more urban area. While most siding options will be made of weather-resistant materials, Bellwether experts recommend slight differentials for such environmental considerations as presence of moisture, temperature changes, and wildlife.
Quality siding not only protects your home from the elements, it also beautifies, adds curb appeal, and can increase the value of your home. Unlike other exterior options, siding is usually low-maintenance, easy to clean, and available in a broad variety of colors, textures, and styles to achieve a stunning and still functional appearance.
Beautifying your home with siding means creating a peaceful, satisfying living space, but it also can add value to your home. If you have plans to sell your home in the future, quality, low-maintenance siding may entice potential buyers.
