the job done. But “DIY” projects can also be done if you are confident that the damage is tolerable and

WHAT ARE SIDINGS?
Siding, as the term implies are the side outer covering of a house. This may be formed in different
positions depending on your house structure, whether vertically or horizontally placed; sidings still serve
the same purpose to protect your house from different weather conditions. Aside from it, sidings can
also add aesthetic appeal to the house with its different styles and colors.
Different materials can be used on sidings such as thatch (made of plant stalks), wood, metal, wood
shingles, stone, plastic or brick siding. The texture and material of the siding usually depends on the
structure of the house as well as the location (this weather condition is a factor that determines the
strength and durability of the sidings you need to install)
Non-wood synthetic sidings and insulated sidings also emerged on the siding market.
WHAT IS A GUTTER
Gutters are narrow ducts that protect your roof from rainwater and clogging from leaves and other
debris. Just like doors and windows, gutters are important on your house to protect it for a longer use.
Some believes that gutters can only be found on houses, which is actually not true. Gutters can also be
found along city streets. Street gutter diverts rainwater and street waters to the curb and away from
the street.

2. Gutters are made with different materials like aluminum, steel, copper and zinc. Aluminum and steel
are compatible on modified gutter installations. Copper and zinc are used for customized gutters used
on home. Aluminum is the most common gutter that we can find in the market because of its
lightweight materials and economic cost.
WHY WINDOWS ARE IMPORTANT?
A house is like a puzzle that is completed by its many parts. Windows serve as part of the shelter and
protection of a house or a building. It saves the house from dirt, thievery and other man made risk.
Windows also complement the design or theme of the house.
