A.) The best siding for your house depends on your budget, desired look, and how well you want to maintain it:

• Vinyl – A popular, affordable, and low-maintenance option that comes in many colors and styles. Vinyl can last about 30 years.
• Fiber cement – A durable option that can withstand a variety of weather conditions, including rain, sleet, snow, and high winds. It’s also low-maintenance, non-flammable, and termite-resistant.
• Brick – A durable, low-maintenance option that can last over a century. Brick siding is also a natural insulator that can help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
• Wood – A timeless look that’s available in many styles. Wood siding is resistant to rot and energy efficient.
• Stone or stone-veneer – A durable, natural material that’s more environmentally friendly than many other siding options. Natural stone can last more than 100 years.
• Composite – Made of two or more materials, like wood pieces and plastic, and comes in many colors and patterns.
• Stucco – A traditional siding option made of cement mixed with sand or lime. Stucco is mainly chosen for aesthetics.
  
  

  Other factors to consider when choosing siding include cost, durability, and how long you want it to last. Peak has lots of options to consider, and it’s best to have a siding professional visit your property to help you determine the most suitable siding for your home.

A.) A roof’s lifespan depends on many factors, including the type of material, climate, geography, and how well it’s maintained. Here are some general guidelines for how long different types of roofs last:

• Asphalt shingles: Typically last 20–30 years

• Architectural shingles: Typically last 25–30 years

• Metal: Typically last 40–70 years, but can last over 100 years for zinc

• Built-up roofs: Typically last 20–30 years

• Solar roofs: Typically last 20–30 years

A.) When choosing replacement windows for your home, you can consider things like:

Material – The material of the window can affect its appearance, performance, and maintenance:

• Vinyl: Affordable, low maintenance, and has decent insulation. However, they can warp over time.

• Wood: More expensive than vinyl, but has a natural look and can add value to your home. They require regular upkeep like staining.

• Fiberglass: Energy efficient, low maintenance, and durable. Fiberglass windows are resistant to weather and insect damage.

• Aluminum: Durable and easy to maintain, but has lower insulation.

• Composites: Combine materials like wood for looks and aluminum for weather resistance.

Style – Choose windows that complement your home’s architectural style.

Energy efficiency – Look for windows with the Energy Star label to ensure they meet energy efficiency standards for your area.

Room needs – Consider what each room needs, such as more airflow in the kitchen or a clear view in the living room.

Cost-effectiveness – Consider the cost of new windows compared to the cost of energy loss in your home. You can do this by completing a home energy audit.

A.) While technically possible, most roofing professionals strongly advise against covering your old roof with new shingles as it is generally considered a poor practice that can lead to problems like leaks, decreased lifespan of the new shingles, and potential warranty issues; it’s usually better to completely tear off the old roof and install new shingles for the best long-term protection and durability.
