Old and deteriorating siding means your home's exterior lacks the proper defense against weather such as storms, rain, hail, ice, and wind. And you should not have to worry about your home exterior's ability to properly protect and seal it. Vinyl siding increases your home exterior's beauty and therefore increases your property value. Vinyl siding increases your home's R-value, which means your home is better insulated, and you will save on energy bills as a result. Vinyl siding helps decrease the infiltration of external noises, promoting a quiet home atmosphere inside for you to enjoy.

Are you aware of moisture in the crawl space under your home? If you have an older home, it has vents around its crawlspace that were initially believed to combat the problem of moisture. In the last twenty years, cases have shown that the vents can do more harm than good. Dependable Home Services provides a waterproofing service called encapsulation that prevents moisture in those crawl spaces. When done properly, encapsulation is the perfect way to stop the movement of water vapor from the ground up into your home.

As a savvy Richmond, VA homeowner, you know that good siding is one of the most important investments you'll ever make. An attractive siding that maintains its appearance when exposed to the elements can boost the curb appeal and resale value of your dwelling. Siding also protects your house from wind, rain and other harsh weather, helps to prevent dry rot and preserves its structural integrity. Choosing the right siding contractor can save you money, time, and the unnecessary headaches associated with caring for a home without siding.

Finding out your home has wood rot (dry rot) can sound scary and overwhelming. Dry rot moves beyond the deterioration of your home's visual appeal and begins to compromise its structural integrity. But don't panic. Dependable Home Services has your Richmond home's dry rot repair handled. No matter how thick or strong the wood used to build your home may once have been, all wood can experience dry rot. When the sturdy, strong wood in your home is exposed to excess amounts of moisture, it begins to break down, causing it to weaken and fall apart.
