Siding Materials and Styles

Starting your home siding project can seem overwhelming due to the many styles and material choices. The diverse neighborhoods and architecture, ranging from heritage districts to ultra-modern areas, all demand siding options to match their character. Luckily, at Ideal Siding®, we’ve got them all! Each material is available in a wide selection of colors, textures, and patterns to suit your preferences.

Here are some of the most popular among Texas’ homeowners:

• Vinyl siding is the go-to solution for new home builds or renovations. It offers the cozy look of wood without the hassle of expensive and time-consuming upkeep. Manufactured from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin blended with components for color, flexibility, and durability, vinyl siding eliminates the need for scraping, staining, or painting, making it a low-maintenance choice that will perform for decades.
• James Hardie® siding, made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, offers outstanding durability and timeless charm. We recommend James Hardie® siding, the #1 brand in fiber cement siding known for its outstanding performance.
• Cedar siding is a premium choice due to its robustness and appealing aesthetics. Crafted from red or white cedar native to North America, it comes in various colors or a transparent stain. It is easy to customize, repair, and replace when the time comes. Wood siding can last for decades, provided it’s appropriately maintained, which means refinishing every five years.
• Aluminum siding, constructed from aluminum coil stock, is chemically coated for initial metal protection before being painted for an added layer of defense. Its exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion (which can be an issue due to our summer humidity) ensures enduring safeguarding and a contemporary aesthetic that complements various home styles. Low-maintenance aluminum siding typically only needs repainting every 15 years.
• Engineered wood siding, using wood strand technology, provides superior protection against local weather conditions, decay, and insect infestation. It guarantees long-lasting performance with durability, versatility, and enduring visual appeal.

Each of the premium materials above can be installed in various styles. Our free mockup service makes it easy to choose a design that complements your home’s architecture and enhances curb appeal while accommodating your taste and budget.

Lap Siding

Lap siding remains a beloved choice in Texas, offering a timeless and inviting aesthetic. Although popular, it doesn’t mean you’ll have a predictable, ‘cookie-cutter’ look. Options including cottage lap, Dutch lap, nickel, or shiplap (horizontal board overlap) can add an original and personal touch to your design.

Shakes and Shingles

Shingles and shakes offer a traditional, rustic vibe and create captivating shadow lines that add depth and character to your home’s exterior. The main difference is that shingles are typically uniform in size and shape, while shakes have a more rugged, textured appearance. Both are durable and resistant to rot and insects, making them ideal for homeowners seeking a low-maintenance yet distinctive siding solution.

They can be crafted from cedar, fiber cement, James Hardie®, or vinyl. Choose staggered, straight, or scalloped edge profiles to customize your siding and infuse it with personal flair.

Panels and Board&Batten

Also referred to as sheet siding and vertical siding, panels come in various finishes, including smooth-sided, cedarmill, and stucco. Available in various colors and designs, panels provide a cohesive aesthetic and are ideal for those seeking a minimalist look.

Panels are typically cut on-site to ensure a perfect fit for every detail of your home’s exterior. Materials such as concrete, vinyl, James Hardie fiber-cement, aluminum, or engineered wood offer durability and versatility.

How Much Does Siding Cost in Texas?

At Ideal Siding®, we believe in clear and upfront pricing. Our quotes cover materials and labor, so there are no hidden costs or surprises. The final cost of your project will depend on the material you choose, the design of your home, and any additional repairs needed.

Here’s an overview of the pricing for different siding types based on an average 2,100 sq. ft. home in San Marcos, Hays County, and surrounding counties of Caldwell and Guadalupe:

• Vinyl siding is the cheapest option, costing between $6 to $8 per sq. ft. You’re looking at spending approximately $16,000 for such a project. Vinyl is relatively easy to work with and doesn’t require much installation time.
• James Hardie® fiber cement by James Hardie® is a popular choice but priced slightly higher at around $10-12 per sq. ft. A budget of between $20,000 to $24,000 is needed for this project as James Hardie® or other fiber cement brand requires more time and more labor to install.
• Engineered wood siding is the most expensive material because it is designed to be caulked on every cut to avoid moisture damage. It costs between $11 to $13 per sq. ft, totaling between $22,000 and $26,000 for a complete renovation.

At Ideal Siding®, we work to ensure that all materials are priced fairly based on the above parameters. Our long-standing relationships with industry-leading suppliers ensure we obtain the best deals for our customers.

Before we begin work, we thoroughly inspect your home to identify any issues that may affect the final cost. If repairs are needed, we’ll provide you with a detailed estimate so there will be no unpleasant surprises that break your budget.
