A Harvard University study estimates that Americans spend an average of $160 billion for home remodeling projects each year. A year ago, many remodeling jobs returned 80 percent of their cost or more when the owner sold the house, but those numbers are changing.

Some of the most profitable renovations, such as an upscale vinyl residing, actually paid off more – 103.6 percent – more than they cost. In the Middle Atlantic States, vinyl siding replacement returns 92.3 percent of its cost, well above the national average of 87.2 percent, while in the Southwest the same job returns just 80.9 percent of the cost. That makes residing your home the most profitable home renovation.

Other profitable renovations included midrange kitchen remodels, which paid off 91.7 percent, and vinyl window replacement, which paid off 89.6 percent, making it the third best remodeling investment.

The least profitable renovation – a home office remodel, which only recoups only 63.4 percent of its cost.

Safe Energy Efficient Vinyl Siding
Why is vinyl siding considered a “green” building product? There are a number of factors that make vinyl siding an eco-friendly choice. For one, the materials used to make modern vinyl siding are more environmentally friendly and healthier to the environment. Also consider the fact that the manufacturing process for vinyl siding produces limited amounts of waste in comparison to other exterior siding options.

Another great benefit of insulated vinyl siding is that it can boost a home’s R-value by up to 16%, making it more energy efficient. The less energy used, and the less energy used, the better it is for our planet.

The vinyl siding Trim A Seal installs are manufactured using polyvinyl chloride or PVC. This is made from the chlorine extracted from salt, combined with the ethylene made from natural gas. Salt is one of the earth’s most abundant and sustainable compounds. Most of the natural gas that is used to manufacture the ethylene used in vinyl siding comes from domestic sources, so it does not rely on imported oil. Using domestic products rather than those imported internationally cuts down substantially on the negative effects to the environment.

Vinyl Siding’s Eco-Friendly Benefits:
• Vinyl siding has been shown to consume less than half of the energy during manufacturing as compared to what is required during the manufacturing of brick and mortar.
• Vinyl siding has also been shown to emit significantly lower levels of toxic chemicals, such as mercury and silver, into the environment than other exterior home siding products do and its completely lead free.
• Because vinyl siding is lighter in weight than almost any other siding option, the transportation costs and the amount of energy consumed to transport the materials are lower
• There is minimal waste produced during the installation of vinyl siding in comparison with other exterior siding options. Vinyl siding waste is substantially less than that of masonry siding, such as brick or stone, and is also less than wood or stucco siding options as well. Less waste means more of the product is used as intended and doesn’t wind up in landfills, which is good for the environment.
• The materials used in vinyl siding production have also been shown to not be harmful to homeowners, installers, builders, or the general public. On the other hand, silica-based fiber cement siding can cause adverse effects on health.
• There is virtually no maintenance required to maintain vinyl siding, other than maybe an occasional cleaning with water and a bit of soap. That means no painting, staining, sealing or caulking. All of these products can emit harmful chemicals, fumes, solvents or toxins into the environment.
