Popular Types of Siding for your home remodel

Remodelling your home requires expertise, reliable tools, and materials that ensure quality completion. Limestone Construction and Excavating has been assisting clients with their home remodelling needs for years, and a key point we’ve learned is that siding should never be overlooked. 


With that being said, we’re going to take a look at some of the most popular
house siding types that you can use for your home remodel. We will also share different types of siding materials to help you make informed choices.


Vinyl Siding


Vinyl siding is arguably the most popular type of house siding. It’s a weather-resistant material that can be purchased in an abundance of different colours. Vinyl siding can last decades after being installed brand-new, and the low-cost, aesthetic options that come with vinyl siding are its key features.


Fibre Cement (Hardie Board) Siding


Hardie Board is a specific type of fibre cement siding that was developed by James Hardie in the ’70s and is made of up to 90% recyclable materials. Fibre cement siding is also both eye-pleasing and durable. It’s an environmentally-friendly choice to work with as well, and can even be designed to mimic the look of other materials like wood or brick


It can be purchased in a plethora of different colours and is ideal for those who live in extreme weather. It’s also an option that doesn’t require much upkeep and is said to last fifty years or more when installed brand new.


Wood Siding


Although it’s going to be pricier when compared to the first two options, natural wood siding is always a high-class option. Wood siding offers durability and protection with the ability to last decades after being installed brand new. The look of wood siding is also a sure-fire way to let others know your standard of living is about quality.


Metal Siding


Metal siding (or sometimes aluminum) is durable, cost-effective, and resistant to extreme weather conditions. Rust is no longer an issue with the current materials used and metal siding can offer a uniqueness like no other. Although it isn’t as cost-efficient as the other options on this list, sometimes you want a unique look that calls for metal siding.
