What are the different types of siding for a house?

If your home is in desperate need of new siding (or just a fresh look), don’t put this project off any longer. Instead, it’s time to learn more about the many types of siding, with a focus on the pros and cons.

As you learn more, you’re likely to find that one type is perfect for your home and budget.

Generally speaking, there are two primary types of siding to consider:

1. Vinyl Replacement Siding

Not only is this most common, but it’s also the most affordable. From a wide selection of colors and styles to the durable protection it provides, vinyl siding has quite a bit to offer.

When making your final decision, focus on details such as:

·      The color that will work best for your home, neighborhood, and personal tastes

·      Energy efficiency

·      Installation timeline

·      Warranty

If your home currently has vinyl siding, you may be okay with the idea of going down this same path.

2. Fiber Cement Siding

Growing in popularity, fiber cement siding can give your home a unique look. Through a combination of cellulose fibers blended with cement-like materials, your home is given the look of wood, advanced energy efficiency, and a product that will last longer than anything else on the market.

Just the same as vinyl siding, there are many colors and styles to choose from, so keep an open mind.
