Siding is the outer covering of many homes and may be made from a number of different materials including wood, metal, vinyl, or composites. Determining the type of siding for your home is important, it protects your home from the elements but also gives your home curb appeal. Each of these siding materials come with their own advantages and disadvantages and can create many different styles of homes to suit your taste.

Wood Siding

Wood siding may be overlapping horizontal sheets of clapboard, plywood or wood shingles. Wood siding requires more attention than many other wall covers and is also more prone to infestation by termites and other pests. Although the wood itself may be environmentally-friendly, the solutions used on it such as paint, etc. are generally not.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is a popular choice due to the fact that is low-maintenance and also low cost. Vinyl siding however is not as durable as wood siding and in the past used to often wear, fade, and buckle. It also does not provide any additional insulation to the home.

Metal Siding

Another material used to create siding is metal. A number of different metals may be used to create siding and they come in different colors and styles. They are durable, low maintenance, recyclable and low cost; on the negative side though, they also do not provide any additional insulation, they are more difficult to install and may need to be shipped from further away than other siding materials.

Masonry Siding

Masonry siding can be made of brick, stucco or stone and is extremely durable and very low maintenance. It is important when choosing masonry siding however to find out about how it will cope with moist environments as some masonry siding solutions do not do well in moist environments.

Composite Siding

Siding may also be made of various composites such as asphalt, fiber cement and aluminum. In the past asbestos siding was also a popular option, before the dangers of asbestos-containing materials became well known. Composite sidings tend to be low-cost but can also be very regionally specific and it is important to consider your environment and climate when opting for a composite siding.

Finding a Contractor to Install Your Siding

Before you meet with a contractor to discuss your siding project, having an idea of what type of siding will help tremendously. For instance, take a drive around your neighborhood and pick out the types of siding you like. Also, ask your family and friends what type of siding they have on their home—particularly if you do not like what they have, you will know to stay away from that type of siding. Another idea is to visit home centers and look through the different siding materials and styles that they have displayed.

Once you have the type of material you would like installed, next is to determine a contractor—remember, choose one that is experienced in what you want and can provide references. You will also want to compare prices with several different contractors.

When you have selected the siding contractor, sit down with them and ensure that you communicate what you want and need. This is imperative to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that there are not misunderstandings. Siding your home is a very important job and is highly visible. The agreement should include the details of the project (what will be done), start and end date of the project, the cost and how the payment will be made.
