01
Choose the look
Consider horizontal siding, board-and-batten, or shake-style accents. We’ll discuss which options suit your project and confirm the selected products and availability before ordering.
02
Look beyond the panels
A complete scope also considers trim, corners, backing, flashing, and water management. Those details belong in the plan alongside your siding selection.
03
Review the proposal
Understand what will be removed, what will be installed, and how any additional work discovered during the project will be handled.
Siding materials
Compare four siding material families.
Explore ProVia vinyl, Alside ASCEND composite, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and James Hardie fiber cement siding.
Vinyl siding
ProVia vinyl siding
Explore traditional horizontal profiles, vertical board and batten, and insulated vinyl options. Compare the siding lines, textures and color choices, then use the manufacturer resources to understand the details of your selected product.
ASCEND offers a wood-inspired exterior in composite cladding. Browse plank and board-and-batten styles, compare the color collection and see how siding, trim and accessories work together before choosing a finish for your home.
LP SmartSide offers engineered wood siding and coordinating trim, with primed and ExpertFinish options. Explore horizontal and vertical styles, compare textures and colors, and review the documents for your chosen profile and finish.
Explore fiber cement lap siding, vertical panels, shingle styles and coordinating trim. Compare primed products with ColorPlus finishes, then review region-appropriate product options and installation guidance for your exterior project.
The start date depends on weather, material availability and our current build queue. Once installation begins, most of our roof projects and most gutter projects can be completed in one day. Siding projects generally take 6–7 days, depending on the home’s size and the scope of work.
Those are typical installation estimates. Weather, access, hidden damage or a larger project can extend the schedule; material ordering and time in the queue are separate.
Do some colors cost more or take longer to arrive?
Yes. Some colors and finishes cost more, and special-order choices can add up to 21 days to the normal material lead time. The difference depends on the product and supplier. Confirm the price and expected arrival date for your exact selection before it is ordered; availability and delivery estimates can change.
Can I paint or repaint my siding?
It depends on the product and finish. Review the exact manufacturer instructions and warranty before changing the color.
ProVia vinyl: the published warranty covers unpainted products only.
ASCEND composite: painted siding is excluded from warranty coverage unless the coating is manufacturer-authorized. Separate rules apply to cellular trim.
LP SmartSide ExpertFinish: repainting ends the factory-finish warranty. The siding substrate warranty remains subject to its terms.
James Hardie ColorPlus: the manufacturer provides repainting instructions, but does not cover the performance of third-party paints or coatings.
Both LP SmartSide and James Hardie offer primed siding intended for painting. We can discuss that option if a custom painted finish is part of your plan.
Will the finished color look exactly like the website photo?
Photos and on-screen samples are a starting point. Lighting, screen settings, texture and surrounding materials can change how a color looks. Review a physical sample of the selected product and confirm its exact color name before ordering.
