Exterior FAQ

What kind of projects require an engineer & a new windstorm certificate (WPI-8)?

Nearly all exterior projects require a permit from the city or county & an engineer inspection to insure proper installation & proper state certifications

Can I get financing for my home improvement project?

Absolutely! Bayfront can often get our customers up to and even over $100k in unsecured loans. Often with zero down and low-affordable monthly payments.

Is there one type of siding that is better than the others?

This is not an easy open & shut answer. The true question is “What works best for you?” Bayfront experts will be happy to help you find what works for you and your home.

Do things have to be built different here on the Gulf Coast as compared to the rest of the country?

Yes. Here in the Coastal Bend we have severe weather and strict building codes must be observed. This is easiest to navigate by a local construction company that knows and builds here.

My HOA requires that a certain percentage of masonry be used on teh exterior of my home. Will Hardie siding qualify?

In many cases Hardie siding will meet masonry requirements and can be used as your home covering.

Will getting new windows in my home make a significant difference on my electric bill?

Yes! There are few home improvements that will have a bigger impact.

Will installing new windows in my home or business help keep me cool through the summer?

Yes! More of the heat transfer in and out of the house is through your old windows than any other area of your home or business.

Is there an easy way to clean the outside of my windows?

Double hung windows make it easy to clean both sides of the glass. This is particularly helpful when having more than one level. Such as a two story house or office building.

Can I save money on my taxes or insurance for having home improvements performed?

Yes. You should seek advice from your CPA or home insurance agent. However, there are several quality projects that can save you money.

How often should I have my home’s exterior inspected for damage?

It’s a good idea to inspect your home’s exterior at least once a year and after severe weather events. Regular inspections help identify issues like cracks, rot, or damage to siding, windows, and doors before they turn into costly repairs.

What are the best materials for coastal home exteriors?

Homes on the Texas Gulf Coast are exposed to high humidity, salt air, and strong winds, so durable materials like fiber cement siding, impact-resistant windows, and metal roofing are excellent choices. These materials offer superior resistance to moisture, wind, and UV exposure.

How do I know if my siding needs to be repaired or replaced?

Signs that your siding may need attention include cracks, warping, mold growth, peeling paint, or increased energy bills. If your siding is over 20 years old or showing widespread damage, replacing it may be a more cost-effective option than repeated repairs.

What’s the best way to maintain my home’s exterior?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning siding, checking for cracks, repainting when needed, sealing windows and doors, and ensuring gutters are clear of debris. Proper upkeep can extend the lifespan of your home’s exterior and keep it looking great.

How long do impact-resistant windows last?

Impact-resistant windows are built to withstand strong winds and debris, making them an excellent investment for Gulf Coast homes. With proper maintenance, these windows can last 20-30 years or more.

Does Bayfront Exteriors offer warranties on its services?

Yes, we stand by our work and offer warranties on both materials and labor. The length and details of the warranty depend on the type of service performed, so feel free to contact us for specifics.

Can you match my existing siding or roofing if I only need partial repairs?

In many cases, we can match your existing materials to ensure seamless repairs. However, availability of certain colors and styles may vary depending on the age of your home and the manufacturer. We’ll work with you to find the best possible match.
