Why Ohio Homeowners Choose Vinyl Siding
The smart exterior solution for Ohio's challenging climate
Cost-Effective Protection
Over a 20-year period, vinyl siding proves 30-40% more economical than wood or fiber cement when considering both initial costs and long-term maintenance expenses (according to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report).
Superior Weather Resistance
Our premium vinyl siding can withstand wind speeds up to 110 mph and temperature fluctuations from -40°F to 120°F—perfect for Ohio's volatile weather patterns.
Energy Efficiency Gains
Insulated vinyl siding contributes to an R-value up to 3.5, helping reduce energy costs by 15% or more—a crucial benefit for Ohio's heating and cooling demands.
Low Maintenance Lifestyle
Unlike wood that requires repainting every 3-5 years, vinyl siding simply needs occasional cleaning with a garden hose—no scraping, sanding, or repainting ever.
Pest & Rot Resistance
Vinyl siding eliminates common Ohio problems like termite damage, carpenter bee holes, and wood rot that plague traditional wood siding materials.
Increased Home Value
New vinyl siding offers an average 75% return on investment at resale (Remodeling Magazine) while significantly improving curb appeal—a key factor for Ohio homebuyers.

Vinyl Siding Questions from Ohio Homeowners
Expert answers to common concerns
Modern vinyl siding is specifically engineered to handle the Midwest's dramatic temperature swings. In our Northwest Ohio climate, premium vinyl products perform exceptionally well because:
- High-quality vinyl remains flexible in sub-zero winter temperatures (unlike wood that can crack)
- Special UV inhibitors prevent summer heat from causing warping or fading
- Proper installation (which we emphasize) includes expansion joints that allow for seasonal movement
We specifically select siding brands that undergo rigorous testing for cold weather performance, including impact resistance when temperatures drop below freezing—a common occurrence in our Lima, Findlay, and Toledo service areas.
When properly installed with insulation backing, vinyl siding can contribute to noticeable energy savings for Ohio homeowners:
- Insulated vinyl siding can add R-2 to R-3.5 to your walls—a significant upgrade for many older Ohio homes with minimal original insulation
- By sealing air leaks during installation, we prevent drafts common in older homes (especially important for our windy regions near Dayton and Toledo)
- Light-colored siding reflects summer heat, reducing cooling demands
Most customers report 10-20% reductions in heating and cooling costs after installation. The exact savings depend on your home's existing insulation and the products chosen.
With our Northwest Ohio climate, premium vinyl siding typically lasts:
- 30-50 years for standard quality vinyl
- Lifetime for premium products (backed by manufacturer warranties)
Several factors affect longevity in our region:
Factors That Increase Longevity
- Quality installation
- Proper ventilation
- Routine cleaning
Factors That Decrease Longevity
- Poor installation
- Impact damage
- Lack of maintenance
While it's sometimes possible to install new vinyl siding over existing materials, we generally recommend removal of old siding for several Ohio-specific reasons:
- Moisture inspection: Hidden rot or water damage is common in older Ohio homes—covering it up can lead to bigger problems
- Proper flashing: Our freeze-thaw cycles demand perfect water management that's hard to achieve over existing siding
- Insulation opportunities: Removal allows for adding house wrap and upgraded insulation—crucial for energy efficiency
During your free estimate, we'll assess your specific situation and explain whether overlay is appropriate or if full removal is recommended for optimal performance.
The cleaning frequency for vinyl siding in our region depends on several factors:
| Home Location | Recommended Cleaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Urban (Toledo/Dayton) | Annually | More pollution and dust accumulation |
| Suburban (Lima/Findlay) | Every 2 years | Moderate exposure to elements |
| Rural (surrounding areas) | Every 3 years | Less pollution but may need pollen washes |
Cleaning Tip: Use a garden hose with mild soap (never pressure washers over 1,300 psi which can damage siding in cold weather). Darker colors may show dirt more than lighter shades.
