Siding Materials and Styles
We offer a range of siding materials from leading manufacturers, designed to look great and protect your home. Whether your priority is siding that requires little maintenance or natural options that last for decades, we have solutions engineered for durability and weather resistance.
Here are some of the most popular materials trusted by homeowners in the Washington area:

- Cedar siding. Natural wood siding offers solid insulation and strength. It needs periodic sealing or staining to maintain defense against moisture and pests, but its lifespan of up to 40 years rewards regular care with lasting performance.
- Aluminum siding. Strong yet lightweight, aluminum resists rust and moisture. It requires only occasional washing and holds up well for 20 to 40 years, making it a practical choice for durability.
- James Hardie® siding. Prized for its superior performance, durable James Hardie® fiber cement siding is made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. Offering exceptional protection against the elements it is the go-to brand for great value siding with an exceptional lifespan.
- Engineered wood siding. Blending natural wood aesthetics with modern resilience, engineered wood siding is crafted from recycled fibers and resin for enhanced durability. It’s easy to install, comes pre-stained in various shades, and lasts 20 to 30 years with occasional maintenance.
Your home’s exterior should be as dependable as it is beautiful. Our design experts help you choose siding styles that complement the character of your home and neighborhood perfectly. Whether you prefer clean lines or rustic detail, we’ll guide you toward a finish that fits your vision.
Lap Siding
Lap siding offers a classic look that fits well in established neighborhoods with classic homes. Installed horizontally for a traditional feel or vertically for a more modern profile, this style blends durability with charm. Options such as cottage lap, Dutch lap, nickel gap, and shiplap (horizontal board overlap), avoid predictable designs and can add a unique, personal touch to your home’s exterior.
Shingles and Shakes
Perfect for homes in neighborhoods where natural surroundings enhance their appeal. Shingles and shakes bring warmth and texture to exteriors. Whether crafted from cedar, fiber cement, or vinyl, these individually placed pieces create a charming, cottage-style look that adds depth and character to gables, walls, and entire facades.
Board and Batten Siding
Board & batten siding features an arresting 3-D pattern that adds texture and height to your home. The versatile combination of wide boards and narrow battens suits farmhouse-inspired and contemporary designs. This design performs well in our Virginia climate, using durable materials including fiber cement, engineered wood, and vinyl to offer long-lasting protection from the elements.
Each Washington siding style offers unique benefits, helping you bring out the best in your home while boosting curb appeal and property value. With options tailored to your home’s architecture, you can confidently choose a style that blends timeless beauty with practical performance.
