Vinyl Siding Installation
If you haven't looked at vinyl siding recently, you are in for a surprise. It not only comes in different colors, it comes in a wide variety of styles. Some look like cedar shakes and others look like vertical board and batten. See our Vinyl Siding page for more details.
We use vinyl siding by CertainTeed and Mastic by PlyGem. These are some of the best products on the market.
Vinyl siding has multiple advantages.
Scratches don't show because color is throughout not just on the surface
No need to paint - EVER
Won't rot, dent, flake, etc.
Improves insulation and reduces wind infiltration
Variety of styles and colors to choose from
Easy to clean and look like new
Often can install over old siding
Concrete Board Siding - HardieBoard
If you aren't familiar with it, it may sound like a crazy idea, but this siding is made with fibrous cement by the James Hardie company. The siding is patterned with wood grain or can have a smooth look. It doesn't crack in the cold like vinyl can (although this is unusual in Maryland. More of a concern farther north.) It is also resistant to wet and mildew and doesn't expand and contract like wood does. It is also very highly fire resistant. Wood siding adds to a fire and vinyl siding melts quickly.
Remodeling Magazine lists Hardie's fiber cement siding as the best investment for siding in terms of cost to value.
Wood and Cedar Shakes, Shingles and Siding
Wood is long lived and very pretty. However, it is also more expensive and takes more upkeep than vinyl or fiber cement board. The vinyl and fiber cement products have come a long way in copying the look and feel of real wood. However, wood does have a classic look and quality to it.
You can get it in any of the styles that the other products imitate.
cedar shakes
cedar shingles - square and rounded
horizontal clapboards with various styles like beaded & Dutchlap
vertical styles like board and batten, and chamfer board

Vinyl Siding Repair With all the storms we have had over the last several years we have gotten a lot of calls for vinyl siding repair. Usually we can reattach it without a problem. However, if it is damaged and needs a new piece, that can sometimes be a problem if the siding is older because it may not be available anymore.
Wood siding repair Shakes can come loose or boards can rot. These are usually not too difficult fix. Otherwise, there aren't likely to be many problems except needing to paint and maintain it.
Fiber Cement Siding Repair This usually doesn't need to be repaired unless it takes a very significant blow and cracks. This is unusual, but it can be replaced if that happens.
