6 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Vinyl Siding For Your Reston, VA Home

6 Tips For Choosing The Perfect Vinyl
Siding For Your Reston, VA Home

Vinyl Siding Is Not One Size Fits All –
Find The Best Option For You


When it is time to replace your vinyl siding on your Reston, VA home, do you find yourself looking at all the options and feeling anxious? If you do, you are not alone.

There are several options in the vinyl siding world, and with all those options, it can be daunting to pick one. After all, you will have your selection on your Fairfax County home for years.

You want to make sure you choose correctly!

How can you make it easier to decide what vinyl siding to use for your home? We have six tips to help direct you toward the perfect siding for your house.


1. Start With What Is Important To You
When Looking At Vinyl Siding

What do you rank as the number one aspect vinyl siding must have to have it installed on your house? There are a few things that are at the top of the list for most people, such as:

  • Affordability
  • Appearance
  • Maintenance
  • Environmentally Green

By asking yourself what you value most with vinyl siding, it can narrow your choices exponentially and make your decision easier.


2. Keep In Mind Any HOA Rules Regarding Vinyl Siding

It can be easy to forget that you may have rules for what you can put onto your home, including the colors you are allowed to have with vinyl siding.This is primarily important if you have found a siding color and style you immediately fell in love with.

However, most HOAs have rules against what you can and cannot use. If you violate these rules, you may have a ton of fees put against you. Or you could find the HOA demands the vinyl be changed again to fit their requirements.

Don’t find yourself in one of these situations. Pay attention to the rules in your area.


3. Consider The Style Of Your Reston, VA House

The style of your house can be a great help when deciding on the color or type of vinyl siding you opt for. A modern style home often allows for more nontraditional colors, while a classically styled home will direct you towards traditional options.

Decide whether you want to play up the style of your home with the vinyl siding. Using vinyl to help enhance the style of your home is one of the best tips professional designers give their clients.


4. Choose A Vinyl Siding Color First

Many people find it easier to narrow their vinyl siding choices by choosing a color scheme they want to stick to first. By selecting a color first, they find they can only look at brands that offer the color scheme they want.

It can make the process faster unless you opt for a more traditional color that almost every manufacturer offers.


5. Pay Attention To Vinyl Siding Warranties

When you have narrowed down your choices, look at what type of warranty the vinyl siding manufacturer offers. Is it a warranty that you feel comfortable with?

You should never opt for vinyl siding that offers no warranty.

A good warranty is going to cover items like:

  • Defects in vinyl siding
  • The installation of the vinyl
  • Any damage that occurs in the first 10 or 20 years, depending on the brand

You want the most protection you can get so that if something does happen, you are not financially responsible for correcting it.


6. Go With The Best Vinyl Siding Installer

Even the best vinyl siding will suffer if the installer is not up to date with what needs to be done to install it perfectly.

Do your research and find the vinyl siding installer with the best reviews, is recommended by others, and is someone you can trust. You will find that certain installers will only install specific brands of vinyl siding, which could make it easier to choose the best vinyl siding for your home.

We’re so pleased to be able to provide this review of our recent window replacements project with Milton Design and Build- all in all, truly a 5 star event. Owner, Matt Kavanah, followed up on a Thumbtack request for proposals with a home visit to see what we needed and how Milcon Design and Build could help. Matt explained the process, how long it would take to order and get ready for the installation, and most importantly, what we could expect as performance from the ProVia window and door products recommended for our home. Matt indicated that he would have Project Manager, Josh, come out and take precise measurements to make up the order, but for the proposal pricing he was able to give us a very competitive bid based on our conversation that day. We kept coming back to Matt’s straightforward conversation and the value of the windows we would be ordering. The price and quick time-to-install just sealed the deal. Matt made some key suggestions that, after our installation today, proved to be great advice. One of the reasons we chose to do a window replacement now (January) was the cold spots in both our primary bedroom and dining room - opposite ends of our house. Even upgraded HVAC hadn’t been able to overcome the heat loss. Tonight, with a new package of high-efficiency thermally broken windows and sliders installed, we’re actually turning the thermostat down because we’re warm! Thank you to Matt, Josh, Luis, Martin, and the rest of the crew for a great job, for explaining all the tips and techniques to get the most out of the new windows and front door, as well as to keep them looking beautiful for years to come! Thank you, Milcon Design and Build for working with us on this purchase… you guys are awesome!

Outstanding! After weeks of countless window contractor interviews, we found the perfect company. Matt at Milcon, with his many years of experience, provided us with detailed product descriptions to meet our environment requirements, that included muffling the Ashburn Data Center and air traffic noise. They installed over 40 windows in two days! Most important, my wife is so happy with our choice.

I went to Milcon for a quote and they came in under the competition. The staff was super professional and did everything I asked for. The team was quick and was done within hours. I would go back for any future projects.

Matt was very professional, gave us very good advice for the 2 massive doors we had to replace. We were very happy with the process, the execution of the project and the products. We had a very pleasant experience with Matt and his installation crew. Thank you so much.

Right on time. Matt and his team did what they said they were going to do when they said they were going to do it. Painless process from start to finish. I had a new roof in about 48 hours. Highly recommended.

We were in need of a roof replacement so we threw out a few requests on Thumbtack and I’m glad we did since it brought us to Milcon Roofing. Matt reached out very quick and if I recall correctly came out the following day to discuss options. He wasn’t pushy or trying to just sell me something. It was clear he has been in the business for years and more or less just informed me of my options. He also noted his crew gets certified on the roofing systems which we really liked. So we needed up asking for a quote and it was very fair and competitive. I will say, Matt was very professional, quick to reply to texts, his quote was very fair, and his crew was on time and knocked out the job out in less than one day. Oh, also their clean up was outstanding. While I hope to never see Matt again (since the roof will last many more years than we should be here) I would 100% call him back for any future work here or at our next home. If you need a new roof, give them a call, you won’t regret it!

We hired Milcon Roofing, Design & Build for replacing the original aluminum siding on our house. Matt took the time to explain different options and we opted for the insulated siding. Matt was very easy to work with and communicated with us through the entire process. The work crew did an great job despite some days with rough weather. We are very happy with the results, less cold drafts, a reduction in noise and a more modern looking exterior. Everything looks great! Can't recommend enough.
