At Colorado Siding we have taken the time to write a quick siding guide for you to reference in order to choose the siding that is the best for your situation.

Pros and Cons Of Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is probably the most common siding in the US today. The reasons why people love it for their homes is because it’s long-lasting, inexpensive, and virtually maintenance-free. It never needs to be painted, is easily cleaned and lasts about 40 years.

Pros and Cons Of Wood Siding
Wood siding is one of the oldest types of siding on the market and a favorite for those seeking a rustic look. Although the types of wood used for wood siding (Cedar and Redwood) are naturally decay-resistant, it is flammable which could be a problem in Colorado. It requires more maintenance than other types of siding but damaged boards are easy to replace.
Cost For Wood Siding: $1-$4 per square foot, cedar uninstalled; $5 per square foot, redwood uninstalled
