Types of Siding We Install
Choosing the right siding material is one of the most important decisions you will make for your home’s exterior. Each material offers a unique combination of durability, aesthetics, maintenance requirements, and cost. We work closely with every homeowner to evaluate their specific needs before recommending a solution. Our goal is always to match the right product to the right application.
- Vinyl Siding remains one of the most popular choices in the residential market, accounting for roughly 27 percent of all exterior cladding installed in the United States. It resists rot, insect damage, and fading while requiring very little maintenance over its lifespan
- Fiber Cement Siding offers exceptional durability and fire resistance, making it ideal for homeowners who want the appearance of natural wood without the upkeep. Brands like James Hardie have set the industry standard with products engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions
- Engineered Wood Siding provides a warm, authentic wood aesthetic with improved moisture resistance compared to traditional lumber. It performs well in varying climates and appeals to homeowners seeking a natural look
- Metal Siding delivers outstanding longevity and modern design flexibility, often lasting fifty years or more with minimal maintenance
- Board and Batten Siding adds vertical dimension and a distinctive architectural character that works beautifully on both farmhouse-style and contemporary homes
Our Siding Installation Process
Every siding project at Better Choice Roofing & Exteriors begins with a thorough exterior inspection. We examine the existing substrate, check for moisture damage, evaluate insulation levels, and identify any structural concerns that need to be addressed before new material goes up. Skipping this step is one of the most common mistakes in the industry, and it often leads to premature failure and costly callbacks.
Once the inspection is complete, we prepare a detailed scope of work that outlines material selections, color options, trim details, and a projected timeline. During installation, our crew removes old siding carefully, repairs or replaces damaged sheathing, installs a proper weather-resistant barrier, and then applies the new siding according to manufacturer specifications. Proper flashing around windows, doors, and penetration points is critical, and we never cut corners on these details. Every project is delivered with honesty and meticulous attention to the small things that make a big difference in long-term performance.
Signs You Need New Siding
Many homeowners are unaware that their siding has already begun to fail. Visible cracks, warping, bubbling, or peeling paint are obvious indicators, but hidden problems like moisture trapped behind panels can cause extensive damage to wall framing and insulation before any exterior symptoms appear. Rising energy bills can also signal that your siding is no longer providing adequate thermal protection.
If you notice mold or mildew growth near the base of your walls, soft spots when pressing on the exterior surface, or gaps forming at seams and joints, it is time to schedule an inspection. We offer 24/7 emergency service for situations where storm damage has compromised your exterior, because we know that exposed wall cavities and water intrusion cannot wait until regular business hours. We do not just build roofs at Better Choice Roofing & Exteriors. We build protection, value, and peace of mind for every surface of your home.
Energy Efficiency and Long-Term Value
Modern siding systems with integrated insulation can reduce thermal bridging by up to twenty percent compared to traditional installations. This translates directly into lower heating and cooling costs throughout the year. Insulated vinyl siding, for instance, adds a continuous layer of expanded polystyrene foam that fills the gap between the panel and the wall surface, minimizing energy loss at every stud cavity.
Beyond energy savings, new siding delivers one of the strongest returns on investment among exterior improvement projects. According to industry remodeling data, fiber cement siding replacement consistently recoups a significant portion of its cost at resale. When you combine that financial return with improved comfort, reduced maintenance, and enhanced curb appeal, upgrading your siding becomes one of the smartest investments you can make in your property.
