Siding Styles and Profiles

In addition to choosing what kind of material you want for your siding, you also have to consider which profile is right for your home in Houston: planks, panels, board & batten, or shingles. Each one is available anywhere from one to all five materials described above. Which one you choose depends on the style of your home, your personal preference, and your budget.

Here is what you need to know about each one.

Lap Siding

Lap siding is one of the most popular options in Houston – we renovated, on average, 80% of houses last year with lap siding. There are several different types of lap siding, including cottage or Dutch lap and nickel gap, more commonly known as ship lap. Sometimes traditional lap siding is referred to as clapboard siding, but there is a slight distinction in that clapboard siding tends to use smaller boards. It is excellent for creating a classic, cozy, inviting look.

Shingles and Shakes

Shingle siding is a classic option, adding warmth to your home’s overall design. They look quaint, refined and will make your home look outstanding. Shingles and shakes are available in several shapes and sizes. However, some options require hand-cutting and can be cost-prohibitive. If you’re interested in the look of shingle/shake siding but are up against budget concerns, you could use the technique for an accent or design element in a smaller square footage area.

Board & Batten Siding

The style provides the versatility to create an ultra-personalized aesthetic. Homeowners can play with the batten spacing, and incorporate other materials or siding profiles, to create both modern and more traditional looks. Stylistically, board and batten siding creates a clean and multi-dimensional effect that is popular in older Midwestern-style architecture as well as the current farmhouse style. It is often used on higher walls or gable walls because of its elongating effect.

Siding Panels

Panels offer an alternative contemporary look for more modern, sleek-looking homes. Panels can be smooth, or they can mimic the look and texture of natural wood. With a minimal effect, they can help to capture the clean lines of your house.

How Much Does the Siding Cost?

We make sure that we give you everything you need to make an informed decision when it comes to your siding, but no matter what, you can be confident that you are getting the best price and workmanship available on the market for the scope of work that will be done.

The most commonly used siding materials by companies are vinyl, James Hardie, and cedar. Here is the price range for each of these materials in Houston:

• Vinyl siding is one of the most affordable options due to its low material cost and easy installation. It is durable and requires little to no maintenance. It is usually between $9 – $10 per sq. ft. For an average home, you’ll need about 2,500 sq. ft. of siding material, which brings the total to approximately $22,500 – $25,000.
• James Hardie is very durable and resistant to rot, termites, and fire. It can be challenging in terms of installation, so finding a professional installer is key. The price is between $12 – $13 per sq. ft., bringing the total amount for the same house to around $30,000 – $32,500.
• Cedar siding really stands out in terms of look and curb appeal. It is pretty easy to work with but requires more maintenance than the other options. This is more of a premium option starting at $16 per sq. ft. That brings the total for the same house to $40,000+ without additional costs for painting or other decorative elements.

Here’s a quick table of some siding materials and their cost per sq. ft.

The cost of siding renovation depends on a few things, such as the size and accessibility of your home, the material and profile you choose from, and even the lifespan of the current siding.

If your siding is old and left untended, it can cause damage to the materials underneath and, in some cases, the integrity of the house. In these cases, the cost of the project will be higher to account for repairs needed to be done.
