Top 3 Siding Materials For Northern Virginia Homes

May 16, 2022

There is no denying the importance of having good curb appeal, whether a homeowner is looking to sell or they simply want to make a good impression on visitors and the neighborhood. Siding plays an important role in maximizing the value of a home.

Aesthetics may be the key consideration in choosing siding, but it is essential to keep in mind its practical function in protecting the home against the elements. Choosing siding is not just about opting for the most attractive choice; it is also important to ensure the material is suitable for Northern Virginia weather conditions.

Overall, Northern Virginia weather is considered agreeable, with very few temperature extremes and uncomfortable days. However, the area’s year-round rainfall and vulnerability to high winds, thunderstorms, coastal salt and hail can all impact a home’s siding. One of the biggest problems, however, is the broad temperature range, with January often seeing temperatures below freezing and the mercury rising above 100 degrees during summer. Choosing the wrong siding for these conditions or failing to properly maintain siding can quickly ruin the appearance of a home and reduce its value.

Learn more about the top three siding materials for homes in Northern Virginia.

Vinyl

Vinyl is the top siding choice of Northern Virginia residents, with nearly two thirds of new homes in the area choosing vinyl siding. One of the biggest benefits of vinyl siding is the wide array of colors and styles offered, which means that homeowners can get the precise aesthetic they wish for their home with relative ease. Moreover, vinyl is water-resistant and sturdy enough to handle average heat and wind. However, residents of the Blue Ridge area may want to opt for heavier vinyl siding as standard vinyl does not stand up well to high winds.

Fiber Cement

Fiber cement’s extreme durability makes it the top choice for homeowners who are focused on protection. It stands up incredibly well to high winds, and although there is a potential for mildew to build up in fiber cement siding, an occasional power washing can keep this problem at bay. Although it is more expensive than vinyl siding, homeowners praise it for its low-maintenance nature. Fiber cement siding that has been looked after properly can last for as long as 50 years.

Another reason behind fiber cement siding’s popularity is its versatility. It is available in many different colors and textures, allowing homeowners to get a custom look.

Wood Siding

Wood and cedar siding are chosen by many Northern Virginia homeowners on account of their rustic appeal and high quality, but it is important to keep in mind that this type of siding does require greater maintenance than other materials. For example, Northern Virginia’s wet climate puts it at risk of rot and mildew, while there is also the potential for the wood to crack while expanding and contracting in the humidity.

Another consideration for those living in coastal Northern Virginia is the potential for wood siding to be damaged by salty air. Homeowners who have the budget for wood siding and like the aesthetic should keep in mind that regular cleaning and sealing will be needed to keep it in optimum condition.

When To Replace Siding

Outlined below are the top signs it is time to replace the siding on a Northern Virginia home.

Cracks & Gaps

Gaps and cracks are not just an aesthetic concern; they could mean that the home’s structural integrity is at risk as moisture could make its way inside – along with insects and other critters. Siding with this type of damage needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

Too Much Maintenance

When homeowners find thatCracked and broken wooden siding they do not have the energy, money or time to maintain the siding on their home, it could be a good moment to upgrade to a lower-maintenance option, such as vinyl. This also allows homeowners to transform the aesthetics of the home dramatically.

Moisture & Mold

When homeowners notice signs of moisture buildup indoors, such as mildew or mold, it is a good idea to examine the same area on the exterior of the home to see if damaged siding could be to blame.

Rising Energy Bills

When energy bills rise unexpectedly, it could indicate a problem with the siding. When drafts occur near windows, walls, or around switch plates, it could mean that it is time to install new siding and insulation. In fact, many homeowners who upgrade their siding for other reasons are pleasantly surprised to find that their heating and cooling bills decrease as a result.

    Adelphia redid my attic insulation. Couldn't be more pleased with their work and service! Christos was an absolute pleasure to work with every step of the way!!! The actual work was fast. Only an hour or so. Christos came back by to inspect the work and sang an Opera song for myself and my daughter. Was a job well done, and a performance that we will remember forever. Will absolutely be calling Adelphia back in the future : )read more

    We just recently employed this company to install siding on our upper storey. I have to say the service and product install was outstanding. George and Tim went out of their way to make sure all details of the install were complete including cleanup, and took their time to attend to details. They stayed over to finish one large side so my family were not inconvenienced next day with the banging. Tim kept me informed of status and invited viewing of progress. George was patient and meticulous. Both were focused on doing a great job and it shows. Neighbours have also been outside to praise their work. George kept me up to date and the job moving- I knew I could rely on him if a problem occurred, but that didn’t happen. Chris has to be included too as part of the team, because his no-pressure sales pitch is why I chose the company. Thank you for the great experience with your company and work ethics of your team- it has made a huge difference to our property and I may add our lives.read more

    This was our 4th project with Adelphia Exteriors. Last year they replaced all our windows; replaced the original vinyl siding; and replaced our original gutters and downspouts. This year we asked them to come back to replace our 24-year old roof shingles that had become stained and looked terrible alongside all the other new exterior features. Once again Adelphia did a wonderful job at a competitive price. They went the extra mile to make sure that we found the particular color and style of shingle that we wanted to match the siding work they the had done in 2020. Adelphia is a family-run business that is committed to making sure their customers are completely satisfied. I would highly recommend them for any of your exterior home improvement needs.read more

    We used Adelphia to replace our windows. We had a few estimates and while the VinylMax windows may not have been quite as premium as the other option we were seriously considering, the product got great reviews and Adelphia in particular was highly reviewed and left a great impression. And pricing was very competitive too. The windows arrived before predicted and installation started exactly when scheduled and wrapped up ahead of schedule. The installer did a great job of cleaning up afterwards and accommodating our tiny house that doesn't necessarily allow for all furniture to be far from windows at the same time :) Definitely would use them for other projects in the future.read more

    Great service and price for new windows in my home. Major renovation project and Adelphia Exteriors was only window company willing to give me a ballpark estimate with me giving estimated window sizes and them not seeing the house, so I could budget all the renovations to figure out if I could do windows. NO hard sell like other window companies. I took my time and signed the contract 1-2 months later after they gave me a firm quote. Very happy with the result.read more

    I contracted Adelphia to paint my living room, dining room and a hallway. The two tradesmen arrived exactly on time on the first day and prepared the areas. They filled holes, repaired a long crack on the ceiling and two on one of the walls then painted the ceiling. They came back on time the next day to add a second coat of paint on the ceilings and to paint the walls and trim. The painters were courteous, polite and worked hard with just a short lunch break both days. Their clean up was excellent and the job was outstanding. This is the second time we have hired Adelphia, and in both instances my wife and I were very pleased. I would not hesitate in recommending them.read more

    Their prices were the best when we bid the job. Their workers were very efficient, professional. They did a great job and cleaned out after they left. They even took the old window screens and debris with them. And it’s a family company. We’re thinking of them for the roof next. Great job!read more

    The Adelphia team was great from start to finish when we had three windows installed in the basement. It was a bit tricky -- one competitor said they couldn't do the job. Adelphia didn't flinch at all. I'm now enjoying sitting in the basement with the windows open on 85 degree day. Choose these guys!read more

    We used Adelphia to replace the insulation in our attic. Due to the need to schedule the work for after a different contractor completed a repair of the ridge vent, we needed some flexibility on their part. This was handled with patience and understanding. The actual work was done very professionally (both the removal of the old damaged insulation and the installation of the new). The workers arrived on time, maintained a very clean work site and were very polite and respectful. I highly recommend this company.read more

    We hired Adelphi Exteriors to replace our roof, siding, and gutters for our house and could not be happier with their great work. They were very professional, thorough and the work was done in a timely manner. They are a family owned business that we found though a friend who has used them multiple times. I would highly recommend them. We are also planing to use them to replace our windows in the future.UPDATE!!! Our windows have now been replaced and I am still just as happy with their service. I have also requested a quote for painting in the future.read more

    This company is great! I had quotes by three different companies to replace windows, paint our brick, install new siding, install new doors, install new gutters/down spouts, plus add new insulation! Adelphia was the only company I contacted for an estimate that would take care of all my needs with one contract. This is a family owned company that has been extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Our initial appointment was with George, who wrote the estimate, the contract, and was our main point of contact; Vickie (mom) runs the office and frequently coordinated with me by phone; and Nick (dad) founded the business in the 1980s and oversaw the painting. The painting is second to none. multiple coats with the highest quality materials looks beautiful! Next came the exterior siding. We wanted to replace our original siding and decided to change it to vinyl shake! You can see the results in the before and after photos. We are thrilled with the results! The replacement doors and windows were installed efficiently and are so beautiful. We selected Adelphia based on their competitive pricing and excellent reviews on Angie's List and Yelp. George worked with us at every step along the way to make sure we were satisfied. The contractors that Adelphia use are careful, professional, punctual, and do excellent work! The original contract included a thank you note by George that said they were determined to exceed our expectations, well, they delivered! I highly recommend Adelphia Exteriors for their value, workmanship, and personal attentiveness.read more

    They were wonderful. Prior to signing up with them, we met with multiple other companies who tried to hard sell us into signing the same day to receive a discount. When George walked into my house I immediately told him we would not be signing on day one, and he laughed and said no problem! He was so agreeable and so easy to work with and the fact that he comes from a family business, I just had a good feeling about them. Not once did he try to hard sell us and pressure us to close, he gave us plenty of time to ask lots of questions and visit a show room in order for us to make our decision. They just finished installing some amazing windows, approximately 25, and a brand new front door. We are absolutely thrilled with the product and the quality of their installation and cleanup. They are a good company to work with! And I would not hesitate to use them again!read more

    From our initial consultation with Rob until the job was completed, our experience with Adelphia Exteriors was great! Rob was very easy to talk to, made sure we understood all our options and answered all our questions. There was absolutely ZERO pressure and no attempt to upsell us on anything. The install of our 19 windows was done in one day, the crew was on time and did a great job. We couldn't be happier with the windows and would recommend Adelphia without hesitation.read more

    We hired Adelphia Exteriors for our Exterior Painting Project and we are very happy with the finished product. Rob provided the estimate within one business day. Viki promptly and kindly helped us to schedule the start date after our project was delayed because of weather. Nick visited the job site to make sure all the exterior colors accurately matched the existing colors. Nick made sure all the areas that required maintenance painting were carefully addressed. He even replaced our house numbers which was a way better option than painting them. He also meticulously worked with Diego to reinstall two shutters that were already partially detached. Diego and his painting team did an amazing job painting all our exterior brick, porch, garage frame and metal light fixtures. They were very detailed in their painting services and professional. Again, we are very pleased with the results.read more
