If you’re looking for an easy way to instantly update and modernize your mobile home, as well as increase its value and energy efficiency, there’s no better method than having new mobile home siding installed. Plus, with new advances in siding technology, you now have more options than ever to give your home a beautiful new look. From metal and vinyl to cedar and more, the possibilities are wide open. Let’s take a closer look at some of the many benefits you can look forward to:
Want to save money on your heating and air conditioning bills? Updating your old siding is a great way. Different materials have different insulating qualities, but you’ll want to work with a company that understands how to account for the proper weight that the new siding ads. If your mobile home is permanently installed (most are), you may want to consider having additional blocking added to the foundation if you choose cement siding, wood or brick. These are the most energy-efficient choices as well as ensuring that your home looks great from any angle!
The right mobile home siding can also help provide a barrier between you and the noise. The right siding can also help prevent the build-up of mold, mildew and bacteria. Ensure that you’re working with a mobile home siding installation company in Sacramento that knows how to work with the right type of siding to maximize ventilation while keeping energy efficiency a priority.
Having your mobile home siding replaced is also a great opportunity to install a vapor barrier as well as backer board and insulation. Siding isn’t completely weatherproof, so having a second barrier in place to keep out water and moisture (as well as keep mold and mildew at bay). Not only will this help lower your energy bills, but will also ensure that your mobile home is overall healthier and stronger.
There are many popular and colorful options for mobile home siding. Let’s take a look at some of the most common choices that we can install for you:
Installed on around a third of new homes, vinyl siding is one of the most popular choices of mobile home siding available. It has unsurpassed longevity, Oftentimes, to save money, mobile homes are outfitted with recycled vinyl siding. While this may seem like a smart, eco-conscious move on the surface, this type of siding is often very thin and warps and fades easily, needing to be replaced quickly.
If you’re looking at having vinyl siding installed, choose virgin (non-recycled) vinyl siding which is thicker and lasts longer. In addition, it’s very resistant to scratches, dents and fading and is practically impervious to insects like termites and carpenter bees as well as fungus and mildew buildup. With proper care, vinyl siding can last for up to 20 years or longer. In addition, even in the windy Sacramento area, you’ll be glad to know that vinyl siding can stand up to winds of up to 110 miles per hour!
However, there are some downsides to vinyl. In high heat temperatures it can distort and warp. Depending on what exterior covering you have, vinyl siding may be the only thing standing between you and the interior of your mobile home. If you’re worried about vinyl siding having that “vinyl siding look”, you’ll be glad to know that technology has evolved and vinyl siding can now look like all kinds of surfaces, including clapboard, shake, board and batten, and even logs.
Timeless and cozy, cedar is a popular choice for mobile homes and its stunning warmth truly stands out and adds curb appeal. Available in a variety of shapes, it naturally keeps insects away and is highly resistant to moisture. Vapor barriers are necessary for cedar siding and it’s an excellent choice for energy efficiency.
The type of installation you’ll need for cedar siding will depend on how it’s cut. Everyday nails and screws also can’t be used because of rust. Like wood siding, cedar will need to be protected regularly with an oil-based water sealant. However, many people believe that although there’s more maintenance and a higher cost, the end result is worth it for the beauty and warmth it exudes!
Also known as stone veneer or architectural stone, this type of siding gives your mobile home the look of stone but without the high cost. Although not as energy-efficient as actual stone, it’s still a very popular choice and comes with a long warranty -- around 25 years in most cases. Depending on the brand you choose, it can also help resist bug infestations, fire and water. Like vinyl, manufactured stone siding comes in a wide range of colors and styles.
