Your Biggest Investment
It’s a given–your house will be the largest personal investment you’ll make. Just signing the mortgage makes people’s heart rates go up drastically.
More than the financial investment in the house is the emotional one you’ll have with it. Your kids will be born and grow there–they’ll play in the backyard and front yard. They’ll climb trees, play tag, Red Rover, Red Rover, etc. And yes, you can admit it, you’ll become emotionally attached to your home as well. Memories will grow there.
With all that–you want your home to look as good as possible for as long as possible. Which means, what kind of siding do I use? Vinyl or wood?
Classic is the Best
Classic always wins–go with wood. Wood is that great look which shows up in all amazing home styles and designs–classic or modern. Face it, wood always looks best. But you already know that with your level of style and sophistication.
After you’ve decided on the obvious, the next question is what kind of wood to use?
Cedar and redwood have been around for ages. But they also require a boatload of maintenance, restaining annually and such. Almost more work than it’s worth. Which is one of the reasons people go for vinyl siding. And we all know how that looks after a while.
Ipe wood, on the other hand, gives you the best of everything you could hope for.
This is one of the reasons why Ipewoods.com specializes in great exotic woods, to help protect the investment you’ve made in your house.
Keeping Things Easy
Ask yourself one question: How easy will this be for me?
As easy as pie. Because it’s essentially maintenance free.
The other traditional woods used for siding such as pine, spruce, fir, cedar or redwood, require a lot of annual maintenance. You’ve got to restain that siding every year. Or, if you’re not going to go out and climb all over creation doing it, you’ll be paying someone else to do it.
No matter how you look at it, it’s going to cost you money and maybe a whole lot of time and effort. With ipe siding, that’s a thing of the past.
General contractor Matt Risinger, suggests that you don’t need to worry about staining your ipe wood, aka ironwood, siding.
Ipe’s dense nature makes it difficult to stain. The wood doesn’t take the stain easily. As Ironwood ages, however, it fades to a beautiful silver grey color. Ensuring that your house will always look fantastic, no matter how old it is. It’s not every day that you can have your home continue looking amazing years after you’ve put up the wood. But ipe wood siding does just that.
Just like you, the ipe siding on your house will age gracefully, and with style. Your house will stay as beautiful as the memories that grew up there.
