How does the cost of steel siding compare to the added resale value it provides?
In terms of adding resale value to your home, steel siding is one of the best investments you can make. In its annual survey of project cost versus added value, Remodeling magazine said that “the highest payback comes from projects that give an older home the same features that have become standard in new homes.” Exterior improvements such as the installation of steel siding also make a home more attractive on the market. According to a real estate agent interviewed by Remodeling, “Things like new siding and new windows will not add dollar for dollar value…(but) they will cause the house to sell quicker for more money.” Another point to keep in mind: if, like many homeowners, you add insulation to an older home at the same time you’re having steel siding installed, you add even greater value and market appeal to your home.
