Vinyl siding
Vinyl is appealing because of its low cost and low maintenance. It doesn’t require frequent exterior painting, it’s easy to install, and it’s available in a wide range of colors. It’s also water resistant and sturdy. To clean, a good power-wash is all that’s needed to remove dirt, discoloration, mold or debris. The only caveats are to ensure it is properly installed. Although easy to do, if not done right, vinyl siding can buckle and contort. Overall, it fares well to deal with the harsh Denver climates, but does have the risk of being damaged by strong winds and can crack in extreme weather.
Wood siding
Wood is classic and rustic, giving your house a timeless appeal. With the finish changing with the wear and tear of time, wood naturally weathers and ages gracefully. Wood siding can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some being vertical like board and batten, or horizontal like clapboards, shakes and shingles. Something to keep in mind is that not all types of wood will work with your climate so choosing between pine, spruce, fir, cedar, and redwood can be a bit more limited. It also must be primed before installation, as this will prevent moisture from getting in behind the siding.
Fiber sidings
There are two types of fiber sidings: wood and cement
Wood fiber is a wood-composite product, such as MDF or molding. When used in siding, it is made from wood fibers, glue, and other fillers. The product is then molded into clapboard and then textured like real wood, with options to be painted as well. A very cheap and easy to install option, wood fiber is available in a range of colors and makes for a good siding option for homeowners.
Fiber cement is similar to wood clapboard; it cuts, nails and installs just the same way. Made up mostly of cement, this type of siding is fire and insect-proof, strong, and will not twist, warp or rot. Fiber cement also reflects and diffuses heat, meaning that in the hotter months, your home will be cooler, and in the colder months, your home will be warmer.
