We Find an Ideal Solution for You
Faded, warped, or weather-beaten siding can make even a beautiful home feel worn and neglected. Homes along the Front Range are exposed to sustained seasonal stress. Snow accumulation, freeze-thaw cycles, strong sunlight at elevation, and periodic wind events all place ongoing demands on exterior materials.

Siding must hold its shape, resist moisture intrusion, and retain its finish through temperature swings that can shift dramatically between seasons. Materials that perform consistently through Colorado winters and dry, sun-drenched summers are essential to help maintain curb appeal year after year.
We help Fort Collins homeowners choose siding that withstands local weather while giving their home a refreshed, polished appearance. Our expert installation team understands regional construction methods and neighborhood expectations, and our careful management of each project ensures a hassle-free process with minimal disruption to your household’s daily routines.
The result is an exterior upgrade that supports energy efficiency, highlights architectural character, and performs dependably across every season.
Siding Styles That We Offer
A siding replacement represents a long-term investment in your home’s protection, comfort, and operating costs. At Ideal Siding® Fort Collins, our team evaluates local climate demands and architectural context. We respect your budget when recommending specific materials.
We work with market-leading products that tolerate temperature swings, limit moisture penetration, and support consistent heating and cooling performance throughout the year.
Lap Siding
Lap siding remains a popular choice across Fort Collins neighborhoods because it adapts well to many home styles. Long, horizontal boards overlap each other to create clean lines and a layered texture on the exterior walls.
Options such as cottage lap, Dutch lap, nickel gap, and shiplap allow you to personalize your home’s look by adjusting the shadow lines and spacing for a subtle or more pronounced effect.
Lap siding works especially well on Craftsman homes, mid-century properties, and newer developments, giving your exterior a balanced, polished look that feels both classic and enduring.

Siding Panels
Siding panels, sometimes called vertical or sheet siding, create a sleek, modern look for contemporary homes in newer Fort Collins communities such as Rigden Farm and Bucking Horse. Large, flat panels form smooth walls that emphasize clean lines and a cohesive exterior.
Finishes such as smooth, cedarmill, or stucco mean you can personalize the look and select the texture and color that best suit your home. Panels are cut and fitted on site for a precise installation, ensuring every corner and edge aligns perfectly, weatherproofing and highlighting your home’s architectural features.

Shingles and Shakes
Shingle and shake siding adds texture and character to historic and traditional homes, making it a natural fit for neighborhoods near Old Town, City Park, and other established areas.
Shingles are thin, overlapping wooden boards with straight or scalloped edges, while shakes are thicker, split boards that create a more rustic, three-dimensional appearance.
This style sheds water effectively and resists wind, which helps it stand up to Fort Collins’ snow, freeze-thaw cycles, and occasional high winds. Properly maintained, shingle and shake siding provides long-lasting beauty and durability while enhancing your classic charm.

How Much Does Siding Cost?
Our transparent pricing approach makes budgeting straightforward.
Each quote includes materials and labor, with no hidden charges. A detailed assessment of your property ensures that our estimates reflect real project conditions rather than generalized assumptions.
Siding costs are calculated per square foot, with the final price depending on your home’s size, the material you select, and labor requirements. Compare the ballpark prices of various materials below:
| Material | Price per sq ft* |
| James Hardie® (Fiber Cement) | Starts at $12.00 |
| LP® Smartside® (Engineered Wood) | Starts at $14.00 |
| Vinyl Siding | Starts at $8.75 |
| Premium Vinyl Siding | Starts at $9.50 |
| Cedar Siding | Starts at $13.75 |
| Stucco | Starts at $15.00 |
| Longboard® (Premium Aluminum) | Starts at $46.40 |
| Cultured Stone | Starts at $42.50 |
The condition of your home’s exterior will affect the overall installation cost. Certain hidden problems only become visible after old siding is removed. However, our thorough pre-installation inspection helps uncover any potential issues early, so we can provide an accurate estimate and ensure expectations are clear.
Our approach at Ideal Siding® Fort Collins ensures that you can make well-informed decisions with complete confidence and enjoy peace of mind as you move forward.
