Types Of Residential Siding

Vinyl Siding

According to the Vinyl Siding Institute, vinyl siding, trim, and soffit is made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic material, and is meant to mimic the look of traditional wooden siding. Vinyl siding is popular among clients and builders because it is relatively low-cost, durable, and requires low maintenance. It is also available in various colors and styles, allowing customers to customize the exterior elements of their home. Additionally, the process of vinyl siding and soffit installation is straight forward and it can often be installed directly over existing siding, saving time and money during installation.

• Profiles: Clapboard, Dutch Lap, Vertical, Shake, Shingle, Half-Round, Beaded

• Cost: $7 - $15 / sq. ft., depending on grade and style

Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement siding, trim, and soffit is made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It is designed to mimic traditional wooden siding but is more durable and requires less maintenance. Fiber cement siding is popular among customers and builders because it can withstand harsh weather conditions such as high winds, heavy rain, and extreme temperatures. It is also available in various colors and styles, allowing you to truly customize your home's exterior.

• Profiles: Clapboard, Vertical, Shake, Shingle, Beaded

• Cost: $18 - $26 / sq. ft., depending on the style

Wood Siding

Wood siding, trim, and soffit is made from various species, including cedar, redwood, pine, and spruce. It is a traditional and popular choice for clients who value wood's natural beauty and warmth. This siding material can be painted or stained to match the homeowner's preference and is easily repaired if damaged compared to other materials. However, regular maintenance, such as cleaning and sealing, is necessary to prevent water damage, rot, and insect infestation.

• Profiles: Clapboard, Vertical, Tongue & Groove, Shake, Shingle, Split Log

• Cost: $5 - $15 / sq. ft., depending on the grade

Metal Siding

Metal siding and soffit is made from various metals, including aluminum, steel, zinc, and copper. It is a durable and long-lasting option for homeowners who want a modern, industrial feel for their home's exterior. It can also be painted or coated in various colors and finishes, allowing homeowners to customize the style of their home. Compared to other materials, metal siding can be more challenging to install and requires more than a pair of tin snips, a utility knife, and a zip tool.

• Profiles: Clapboard, Corrugated, Ribbed, Smooth

• Cost: $5 - $23 / sq. ft., depending on grade and style

Stone Veneer

Veneer is made from thin slices of natural or manufactured stones. It is designed to mimic a traditional masonry material but is lighter and more cost-effective than full-thickness cuts. Veneer is available in various styles and colors, including limestone, granite, slate, and river rock, allowing customers to customize the aesthetic of their home's exterior and add some real curb appeal. You can install siding on various surfaces, including wood, concrete, and metal, and can be used to cover the entire exterior of a home or as an accent feature.

• Styles: Brick, Ashlar, Ledgestone, Castle, Dimensional, Fieldledge, Cobblestone, Mosaic

• Cost: $50 - $65 / sq. ft., depending on the style

Siding Profiles

The siding profile refers to the shape and design of the boards or panels used to cover the exterior walls of a home. Using a combination of profiles is a great way to bring depth and character to your home's exterior elements.

Clapboard siding

Features long, narrow boards overlapping to create a horizontal pattern.

Dutch lap siding

Features a groove cut into the top of each board, creating a shadow line that gives the siding a more textured feel.

Board and batten siding

Features wide boards with a vertical orientation, separated by narrower strips called battens.

Shake & Shingle Siding

Features small, rectangular pieces installed to create a clean, uniform look or in a staggered pattern, creating a rustic, textured look.

Beaded siding

Features a rounded bead at the bottom of each board, creating a more decorative and textured look.

Half-round siding

Features curved boards that have a semicircular cross-section. This is popular for accent areas like gables, dormers, or porch ceilings.

Insulated siding

This style comes with a layer of insulation on the backside. This extra layer of insulation helps to increase your home's ability to maintain a comfortable temperature.

The Benefits of Hiring Siding Contractors

While it may be tempting for some homeowners to try DIY installation with siding, hiring a certified installer and a professionally operated company comes with several important benefits. If you have a big project with multiple stories the best option is often to hire a professional.

1. Experience and expertise:
   A certified company will have the skills from years of experience and manufacturer training courses. This includes knowing how to handle different types of siding materials, like the best way to remove vinyl siding. They will also be familiar with various installation techniques. Helping you to stay on budget when completing your upgrade.

2. Know the actual cost:
   The last thing you want is to get hit with an unforeseen issue that dramatically increases the project cost while installing siding. A professional installer will know what to look for and be able to give you an accurate quote of the total project cost and a timeline for completion.

3. Safety:
   Siding installation can be dangerous, especially in a multi-story building. A professional will have the necessary safety equipment and know how to prevent accidents. They will also have the insurances needed to cover you and your property in the case a worker is injured.

4. Warranty:
   Quality siding companies, like the team at MI Remodelers, will warranty the labor and materials on a project. If something goes wrong, you can feel confident knowing they will find a solution without additional cost.

Signs It's Time to Replace Your Siding

Even with regular upkeep, damaged siding is inevitable. So if you are beginning to notice any of the following, it's time to get a professional inspection to determine whether a complete siding replacement is necessary.

Cracks, Warping, or Rotting

Visibly damaged siding is the biggest red flag that your siding is past its prime. It is important to thoroughly inspect your home's exterior once a year, as even minor cracks can indicate a more significant problem.

Fungus, Mold, or Mildew

Be cautious of any growth or discoloration, especially near seams, as these substances thrive where moisture is present. Their presence could indicate a weakness in your siding's ability to protect your home.

Peeling Paint Inside Your Home

Sometimes, exterior siding issues can manifest indoors. For instance, moisture penetrating your siding can lead to peeling wallpaper or paint on your interior walls.
