Thickness is one important component of many. The thicker your siding is, the stronger it is. In addition, it is better able to withstand high winds and other extreme weather situations. A thicker siding also helps reduce noise transmission, which might be important if you live in a dense, bustling area. That said, make sure to also consider the panel architecture and projection, nailing hem design, locking mechanism, and other important elements of vinyl siding in addition to thickness.

Homeowners insurance may cover siding replacement if the damage is due to a covered event like storm damage. Siding that needs to be replaced due to age, neglect, or wear and tear is not generally covered by insurance, so expect to pay out of pocket. Check your policy for coverage details and what you need to make a claim.

You can refresh your siding by washing it, painting it, repairing damage, or using a siding restoration kit. Removing debris, mildew, and dirt buildup makes your siding look brighter and fresher. If you seal and fix issues, the siding looks newer. And if you paint faded areas, the color can be more seamless.
