Pros and Cons Of Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding is likely the most common siding in the US today. People love it for their homes is because it’s long lasting, inexpensive, and almost maintenance-free. It never needs to be painted, is easily cleaned and lasts about 40 years. However, vinyl doesn’t look as high-quality and beautiful as other types of siding.
Cost For Vinyl Siding: $1-$6 per square foot, uninstalled
Pros and Cons Of Wood Siding
Wood siding is one of the oldest types of siding in the world 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. In Colorado where things are dry and fire is a very real danger, this could be an issue. It also 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
Pros and Cons Of Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie Fiber-cement siding is a composite of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber. It has all the fantastic qualities of vinyl and the sleep appearance of wood, making it a great choice for form and function. It is less expensive than wood but more expensive than vinyl. However, the look and quality make it well worth the extra expense.
Cost For Fiber Cement Siding: $2-$6 per square foot uninstalled, plus trim
Pros and Cons Of LP SmartSide
LP SmartSide is a great choice for Englewood homeowners because it has many of the benefits of fiber cement but costs about 25%-30% less. The color options are not as rich and vast as fiber cement but it does offer a fairly good selection.
