1. Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding comes in a range of styles, textures, and colors including vertical and horizontal panels and wood shake/shingle styles with a low to moderate average cost. The great thing about vinyl is that it is a low maintenance material and can last as long as 50 years.
2. Wood Siding
Wood siding is available in a wide variety of styles, finishes and textures but does require an exterior finish such as stain or paint. The cost is moderate to high and because wood requires a stain or paint finish, it is prone to problems from moisture if the home is not properly ventilated.
3. Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding looks very similar to natural wood when installed properly. It is extremely durable but a bit on the pricier side for siding. This material is low maintenance and is not subject to rot or insect damage. It can last as long as 50 years.
4. Metal Siding
Metal siding is also available in a wide range of styles including panels, vertical strips and even shingles. You can find siding in steel and aluminum, and both are low maintenance materials but may be prone to denting.
