Why exterior health matters more than you think When it comes to protecting a home, siding is one of the hardest-working but most overlooked components. It shields the structure from moisture, insulates against harsh temperatures, improves curb appeal, and directly impacts long-term property value.

Your deck is an extension of your home — a place for morning coffee, summer BBQs, family gatherings, and quiet evenings under the stars. But like anything exposed to the elements year-round, your deck won’t last forever.

When you invest in new siding, you’re not just upgrading your home’s appearance — you’re protecting it from Michigan’s harsh weather, moisture, pests, and long-term structural damage. One of the most common questions homeowners ask is: “How long will my siding actually last?
