Siding Styles & Layouts

It’s important to know your options and how each affects curb appeal and home efficiency. You can find siding solutions for a modern, traditional, or sleek look.

Fiber Cement Siding manufacturers

HardiePlank: HardiePlank siding by James Hardie is the most popular fiber cement siding. It also offers the most options and has the best warranty and customer support.

Nichiha: Nichiha gives people a chance to upgrade to fiber cement and save on materials. However, it does expand and contract more than other options.

Allura: Allura is a newer offering that delivers premium materials. We recommend limiting color selections to lighter variations.

Vinyl Siding and Composite

Cost is a considerable consideration for both current and future expenses. Low maintenance and installation make vinyl the least costly option. However, thermal and wall installation options drastically increase material and installation costs.

Composite and vinyl look similar from afar. Installation is also similar to vinyl. Composite siding is thicker, heavier, and looks more substantial up close. However, the cost of composite siding materials is 3 times more than vinyl. Both are made from PVC and do not require painting.

Popular Choices:

Everlast and Plygem are the most popular composite and vinyl options.

Wood & Metal

Cedar Siding: Western Red Cedar is the most common and is used for exterior siding. Its resistance to insects, water, and decay exceeds other wood siding. It is stainable and paintable for further protection and is offered in many cuts and styles.

Pine/ Douglas Fur: Softwoods are also used for siding. It reduces cost while providing a natural wood look.

Engineered Wood Siding: LP Smartside is the top maker of engineered wood siding, which is also called OBS. It’s the best low-cost natural wood option.

Aluminum Siding: Aluminum is a slightly dated option that is not viable for most modern homes. However, its durability and resistance against rust are unquestionable.

Preformed Metal: Preformed metal siding is excellent for shedding water and is less harmful to the environment.

Masonry Veneer and Stone

These nonstructural elements are great exterior accents and designs. You can use them in combination with other materials. All masonry and stone veneers require weep holes, insulation, and wire mesh.

Stucco: Stucco is a textured material that looks like concrete. It’s used on building exteriors and is available in traditional and synthetic options. It includes limestone, sand, and water.  

Stone Veneer: Veneers are man-made and offer the appearance of natural elements. They are also more straightforward to build and construct.

Brick Veneer: These lightweight layers look like brick and are simple to install. However, they do not provide structural support.

HouseWrap and Additional Protection

Housewrap: Decreasing outside air entering your home is achieved with housewrap. Applying housewrap when replacing siding offers key benefits. It improves home efficiency and protects exterior wall sheathing.

• Tyvek
• HomeGaurd

Rainscreens: Rainscreens are additional wall battens that go over the sheathing. They prevent the siding from lying directly on the wall. A rainscreen lets air move freely. It also sheds and dries water and moisture behind the siding.
