Minneapolis Siding Contractor

Vinyl Siding is to a Minneapolis home as skin is to the human body. Siding protects the house against the elements and pests. It helps prevent moisture penetration and the growth of biological contaminants such as mold, dust mites and bacteria. These 3 types of biological contaminants have been known to cause allergic, respiratory, and other health problems in humans.

Choosing siding deserves careful consideration. Some sidings are good in dry climates, others in wetter climates. Some siding is better in windy conditions. And still others, like vinyl, are good in all types of weather conditions.

Rain, snow and frost are the moisture concerns. If rain, snow or frost get behind the siding, the moisture makes the wall sheathing soft, degrading the strength of the entire house frame.

Some of the common pests that may reside behind poor or inappropriate siding are dust mites, carpenter ants, and termites. Dust mites are a common allergy concern. Carpenter ants and termites, as they eat away at the home, undermine the strength of a wooden frame.

A carefully chosen siding, appropriate for your climate and the amount of care you are willing to devote to its maintenance, will not only give your house a new look, but protect your family's health and safety.

All City Improvements also offers Steel Siding

The benefits of steel siding are that it will not rot, blister, burn, or be eaten by bugs; however, it will rust if scratched. Extruded panels in types and dimensions the same as vinyl come in a wide array of factory-baked colors and smooth and wood-grain textures.

With proper care, steel siding will last from 40 years up to the life of your house. Maintenance includes an annual hosing doewn and promptly painting any scratches to prevent rust. Because steel siding is difficult to handle and cut, installation is best left to the professionals at All City Improvements.
