Ideal Siding® Baltimore South

We Find an Ideal Solution for You

South Baltimore is a neighborhood of character, with historic rowhouses, charming streets, and waterfront homes that reflect generations of care and investment. Owning a home here means preserving its beauty while protecting it from the realities of Maryland’s weather: humid summers, heavy rainfall, coastal winds, and freeze-thaw winters.

At Ideal Siding® Baltimore South, we deliver siding solutions designed to stand up to the local climate, highlight your home’s unique style, and protect your investment for decades. We use premium, climate-appropriate materials and collaborate with skilled local installers who are familiar with the unique characteristics of homes in this area.

From your first consultation to the final inspection, we manage every detail so your home is transformed with minimal disruption, maximum durability, and lasting curb appeal. The result is a siding transformation that not only shields your home but also gives you confidence, pride, and peace of mind every day.

Siding Materials and Styles

Choosing to upgrade your siding is a significant decision that affects the durability, comfort, and long-term value of your home. At Ideal Siding® Baltimore South, we guide you toward materials that meet your budget and combine reliability with proven performance in Maryland’s humid summers, frequent rainfall, and seasonal temperature changes.

The materials below are popular among homeowners in Baltimore and across Anne Arundel County because they protect against moisture, heat buildup, and freeze-thaw stress while reducing maintenance demands.

• Vinyl siding. Budget-friendly vinyl siding prevents water infiltration with its non-porous surface. It maintains consistent performance through variable weather, helping you preserve your property’s exterior structure with minimal maintenance.
• Cedar siding. Prized for its natural beauty, cedar siding has natural resistance to decay and insect damage. Its cellular structure allows controlled moisture movement, which lowers the risk of humidity-related deterioration over time.
• Aluminum siding. Aluminum siding forms a durable barrier against moisture and precipitation. Its corrosion-resistant surface shields the home during heavy rain, while its dimensional stability supports long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
• James Hardie® siding. Fiber cement siding, including James Hardie®, provides strength and resists moisture-related damage. Its dense composition limits water absorption and maintains stability during periods of high humidity and temperature swings, protecting exterior walls throughout the year.
• Engineered wood siding. Engineered wood siding combines the natural beauty and structural qualities of wood with added resistance to moisture and environmental stress. Its treated composition reduces the risk of rot and swelling, ensuring consistent performance in humid conditions and seasonal weather changes.

Whether your property is a historic rowhouse or a modern detached home, the right siding can reflect its character and your vision. With our complimentary design service, you’re able to explore options that bring out architectural details, highlight distinctive features, and create a presence that turns heads in your neighborhood.

Seeing the finished result before any work begins gives you confidence that your home will look as you imagined, or even better.

Lap Siding

Lap siding brings timeless charm and subtle texture to South Baltimore homes. Dutch lap or shiplap creates distinctive horizontal lines that complement traditional rowhouses and townhouses, emphasizing long façades and aligning with classic brick or masonry elements.

This style also suits detached houses with gable fronts, adding rhythm and depth to their exterior while maintaining a familiar, elegant appearance.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingles and shakes create natural shadow lines that highlight architectural details and add texture to any exterior. Cedar, fiber cement, or vinyl shingles complement traditional rowhouses or older detached homes, enhancing gables, dormers, or bay windows.

They also work well on modern houses where handcrafted texture can soften geometric forms and introduce a sense of warmth.

Board and Batten Siding

The 3-D board and batten style emphasizes vertical lines, enhancing gables, upper stories, and accent walls. It suits historic rowhouses when used as a thoughtful accent, and pairs seamlessly with contemporary detached homes and modern farmhouse-style renovations.

Give your home the siding it deserves: protection you can trust, style you’ll love, and a look that turns heads.

How Much Does the Siding Cost in Baltimore South?

When planning a siding upgrade, transparency about materials and installation costs helps you make realistic budget decisions for your home’s transformation. Our experts assess your property carefully to provide an accurate quote, ensuring no unexpected charges along the way.

Siding costs are calculated per square foot, with the final price depending on your home’s size, the material you select, and labor requirements.

While South Baltimore homes vary significantly, from smaller rowhouses under 1,500 square feet to larger detached homes exceeding 2,500 square feet, we will use 2,000 square feet as a ballpark figure to give a rough estimate that will be easy to scale up or down, depending on your property size.

• Vinyl Siding. Approximately $7 – $8 per square foot, totaling around $12,000 – $14,000. Premium vinyl adds roughly $2 per square foot.
• James Hardie® (Fiber Cement) Siding. A higher-end choice at $9 – $10 per square foot, totaling $18,000 – $20,000.
• Cedar Siding. Premium cedar runs about $16 – $18 per square foot, with a total investment of $32,000 – $36,000.
• Aluminum Siding: Costs range from $6 – $10 per square foot, resulting in a total of $12,000 – $20,000.

The condition of your home’s exterior affects the overall cost of siding installation. When underlying structures show signs of rot or damage, repairs may be required to ensure the siding performs well over time.

Our thorough inspection before work begins allows us to provide an accurate, upfront price, giving you confidence in your budget and a clear understanding of what the project will involve.
