The right siding depends on the house, the budget, and how much maintenance you want later. Here are the main options we talk through with homeowners.
Lower maintenance projects and homeowners who want more color choices.
Vinyl is one of the most common siding choices because it keeps the price practical and does not need painting.
Homeowners who want a stronger painted-wood look.
Fiber cement, including James Hardie style products, is heavier and more durable than vinyl and needs careful installation.
Front elevations, gables, and homes that need more texture.
Cedar impression panels give a shake-style look without using real cedar on the whole house.
Traditional homes where the owner is comfortable with upkeep.
Wood has a natural look, but it needs regular paint, stain, and repair to stay protected.
Certain modern details, accents, and durable exterior areas.
Aluminum and steel siding can work well in the right setting, especially when denting and finish wear are considered up front.
Entry areas, lower walls, columns, and accent sections.
Stone veneer is often used as an accent with siding to add weight and detail to the front of a home.
