Siding Information
BRICK
Brick can withstand high winds and is not typically damaged by hail or other debris that may be blown around in windy conditions. Brick and stone exteriors are also extremely durable and can continue protecting your home well into the next century.
Brick siding comes in regular brick masonry (solid brick) as well as brick veneer which is a finished exterior that sits on the house as opposed to solid brick which holds up the house! Brick veneer is usually a thinner layer on the exterior of the home like traditional siding.
VINYL
Vinyl is a tough plastic material that entered the exterior siding market in the late 1950s, replacing the once-popular aluminum siding. Its durability and low-maintenance profile made it a fast fan-favorite for homeowners who wanted to save money on exterior siding. It’s most commonly found in modern-day colonial homes.
It varies in both color and texture, allowing a wide range of exterior aesthetic options for homeowners. Some variations even include an imitation of wood grain and stone siding. It also varies in thickness – typically the thicker the material, the higher the cost, while still being lightweight and easy to install.
WOOD
Everyone likes wood, this type of siding can add a natural & beautiful exterior to your house. The changing colors and tones of wood instantly make a home feel warm and inviting. There are several species of wood to choose from such as: spruce, pine, fir, cedar, and redwood.
Apart from the kind of wood you choose you will also have the choice of 4 different profiles: bevel (clapboard), shakes or shingles, board and batten, or engineered wood. This type of siding is particularly dominant in the west, and continues to be a top choice for homeowners with its classic & timeless look.
STUCCO
Stucco is a solid, durable and typically low maintenance material. Because of the materials used to make stucco, it rarely requires painting or chipping maintenance, making it an ideal option for weather-ware.
Stucco is a cement-based plaster that is applied over walls and other surfaces inside and outside of buildings. It is made from cement, sand, and lime and hardens into a highly durable material that requires little maintenance and can be used to obtain different textures and finishes.
STONE VENEER
Stone veneer gives you a similar look to stone but about half the cost. Stone veneer siding consists of thinly cut pieces of stone that are applied to the side of a home. The stones themselves come in a variety of colors and shapes, and they can be arranged in multiple different patterns with a choice of grout colors in-between.
This creates a mosaic of natural or man-made stone on the outside of a house. Stone veneer is available in two different styles: natural stone veneer and manufactured stone veneer. Natural stone veneer is comprised of quarry stone whereas artificial or manufactured stone veneer is typically made up of concrete or other cost-effective materials that emulate the look of natural stone.
