Variety of Siding Materials and Styles

Choosing the right siding shouldn’t feel overwhelming. We’ll ensure you find an option that aligns with your style, budget, and home’s unique needs, while providing reliable protection against seasonal temperature swings.

• Vinyl siding: Prized for affordability and durability, vinyl is a budget-friendly, low-maintenance option. While it’s a less effective insulator than other materials, it still forms an effective protective barrier against our heavy snowfalls and winter freezes. Occasional washing with mild detergent keeps it looking fresh.With skilled installation, it can last 20 to 30 years.
• Aluminum siding: With a look that can replicate natural wood through vertical or horizontal planks, aluminum is another durable option. Its insulating properties help keep indoor spaces comfortable, and it requires minimal upkeep—just occasional cleaning to remove dirt or mildew. Properly cared for, aluminum siding can last 30 to 50 years.
• Fiber cement siding: Engineered from a blend of cement and other materials, this siding mimics the look of natural wood. It is fire and weather resistant, with good insulating properties that help maintain comfortable interior temperatures and help control energy costs. Maintenance involves simple, occasional cleaning, and its lifespan can exceed 30 years.
• Cedar siding: Native red or white cedar offers unmatched natural beauty and is both moisture- and pest-resistant. It helps to regulate interior temperatures and contributes to energy efficiency. With periodic staining or sealing, cedar siding can withstand the elements for 20 to 40 years.
• Engineered wood siding: Made from recycled wood fibers reinforced with resin and wax, this material combines the charm of wood with added resilience. It insulates well, helping maintain interior comfort and potentially reducing energy consumption. Maintenance is straightforward, involving periodic cleaning and occasional sealing. With consistent care, it can last 20 to 30 years.
