In Boulder Colorado, siding options are something a prospective buyer should know a little bit about. These days there are several siding options to choose from, and they each have their advantages and disadvantages.
The main Boulder Colorado siding options today include:
Traditional wood siding
Cedar shingle siding
Vinyl siding
Fiber cement siding
Stucco siding
Let’s talk briefly about each one in turn.
1. Traditional wood siding: this Boulder Colorado siding option is familiar to everyone, since most homes in the state still use it. However, it requires cutting down trees, is highly flammable, and not the greenest option, which is an important consideration to many Boulder residents. On top of that, wood siding can dry out in the ever dry and sunny Colorado comate, rot, or be eaten by termites.
2. Cedar shingle siding: this Boulder Colorado siding option is also quite familiar, shingled homes really capture that rustic mountain look. But cedar shingles have the same disadvantages as regular wood siding, and seem to require a lot of maintenance over the years.
3. Vinyl siding: currently the most popular new siding choice in the country, this product is durable, affordable, low maintenance, and does not require cutting down the forest.
4. Fiber cement siding: this “new kid on the block” has a lot to recommend it. None of the disadvantages of wood, fiber cement is made of sustainable materials, will not rot, dry out, or burn, and termites cannot develop a taste for it. It is available in a stunning array of color pallettes and styles, including styles that offer the look of wood and cedar shingles.
5. Stucco siding: this Boulder Colorado siding option is still popular though with customers all across the southwest. We don’t offer traditional stucco, though, preferring to use a fiber cement alternative that gives the exact same look with a lot less hassle.
