Siding Materials and Styles
At Ideal Siding®, we offer a curated selection of siding materials designed to perform reliably in this region’s demanding climate. Each option is chosen for its ability to resist moisture, heat, cold, and everyday wear. Whether your priority is long-term durability, energy efficiency, or minimal maintenance, we provide siding solutions that deliver dependable results year after year.
These are among the most reliable and popular materials for homes in the DC Metro Area:
- Vinyl siding. A practical choice for homeowners seeking durability with minimal upkeep. Vinyl resists moisture, insects, and UV damage, and has a lifespan of 20 to 40 years with simple routine cleaning.
- Cedar siding. A natural wood product with strong thermal performance. Cedar is valued for its resistance to swelling and cracking, and when properly sealed or stained, it can offer a service life of over 40 years.
- Aluminum siding. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum performs well in humid conditions and holds up under temperature shifts. Given basic maintenance, it can last 20 to 40 years and requires no repainting.
- James Hardie® siding. Engineered for resilience, fiber cement is resistant to fire, pests, rot, and moisture. Its dimensional stability and long service life – typically 50 to 100 years – make it a natural choice for homeowners who prioritize durability.
- Engineered wood siding. Strong and reliable, engineered wood is manufactured from compressed wood fibers and resin. It withstands climate swings, resists impact, and provides a wood-like finish with a lifespan of 20 to 30 years with periodic care.
From historic townhouses and colonial revivals to modern infill homes and rural farmhouses, the architectural diversity across this region calls for siding styles that respect tradition while allowing for contemporary expression. With our complimentary design service, you’ll work with our experts to complement or enhance your home’s character, whether preserving classic lines or introducing a clean, modern profile.
Lap Siding
A familiar and reliable choice for homes across the region, lap siding pairs well with Colonial, Craftsman, and farmhouse-style homes. Its clean horizontal lines suit both older properties and newer builds seeking a traditional exterior. Available in a wide selection of finishes, it can be installed vertically for a more contemporary look.
Shingles and Shakes
Shingles are precisely milled, with uniform thickness and a smooth, clean-cut appearance, making them ideal for a more refined or formal look. Shakes are typically split rather than sawn, giving them a thicker, more irregular texture that creates a rustic, handcrafted feel. Often used as an accent on gables, dormers, or entire façades, shingles and shakes offer texture and depth. They’re particularly well suited to Craftsman bungalows, older wood-framed homes, or any property where a softer, more natural profile is desired.
Board and Batten Siding
Popular on restored farmhouses and contemporary builds, board and batten offers a bold vertical emphasis that suits the region’s rural homes as well as modern infill projects. Its alternating wide and narrow pattern adds visual rhythm and works especially well on taller walls or in combination with other siding styles.
How Much Does the Siding Cost in DMV Area?
Siding installation is a major investment, and to budget effectively, it’s essential to know the total cost before you commit. Our estimates always include materials and labor. There are no hidden fees, just a clear and complete picture of what your project will involve.
Because homes in the Washington Metropolitan Area range from compact rowhouses to expansive suburban properties, we use 2,000 sq. ft. as the baseline for an average home, to give you a reliable point of reference.
- Vinyl Siding. At approximately $7–9 per sq. ft., vinyl remains the most economical option. For a 2,000 sq. ft. home, the total installation cost typically ranges between $14,000 and $18,000.
- James Hardie® (Fiber Cement) Siding. Prized for its durability and low maintenance, fiber cement siding costs about $9–13 per sq. ft. That puts the full project cost between $18,000 and $26,000 for an average-size home.
- Cedar Siding. This premium material ranges from $16–20 per sq. ft., with a total cost between $32,000 and $40,000. While it requires ongoing care, many homeowners choose cedar for its natural beauty and ability to add to their home’s overall value.
