Our Siding Types‍

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding has become a favored choice for many homeowners, especially for its blend of affordability and durability. Not only is it cost-effective compared to other siding materials, but it also boasts a low-maintenance appeal. Unlike some materials that require periodic painting or treatments, vinyl retains its vibrant color for years and can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water.

Its resilience to weathering, from harsh sun to winter chills, ensures it remains in prime condition, offering a protective shield for homes. Moreover, the versatility of vinyl siding allows for a range of design options, from textures that mimic wood to a broad spectrum of colors. For homeowners seeking a balance of aesthetics, protection, and value, vinyl siding stands out as a compelling choice.

Brands of Siding

James Hardie Siding

There’s a reason we install so much James Hardie siding or Hardie Board in Manchester: it's incredibly tough. It's a fiber cement product, which means it simply can't rot, and it offers nothing for insects or woodpeckers. It holds paint color for years and stands up to our wet, cold conditions without warping or deteriorating. It’s a smart, long-term investment.

Everlast Siding

Think of this as "set it and forget it" siding. Everlast siding is a thick, solid composite that looks like beautiful painted cedar. The planks are also impervious to water, so unlike wood, they won’t swell, rot, or attract pests. Its best feature for our climate, however, is that the color is baked in all the way through the plank, so if a branch scratches it during a storm, it won’t leave a glaring white mark. It requires almost no maintenance and looks fantastic for decades.
