Iowa siding takes a beating all year long. Weather, baseballs , you name it, your siding protects you from just about everything. Don't settle for anything less than quality siding.
Fiber Cement
Made popular by brands like James Hardie. Does not require painting, minimal maintenance and is fire, insect and mold resistant. A great product but it is on the higher end of the price scale.
LP SmartSide Siding
A popular and less expensive option, SmartSide siding requires more maintenance compared to fiber cement; maintenance includes painting, scraping and removal of mold and mildew.
Cedar Siding
Traditionally, cedar siding has been a top choice for homeowners because it is a long-lasting and beautiful option. Deep woodgrain patterns and deep shadow patterns create a charming style for Iowa homeowners looking for a custom-crafted look.
Steel or Aluminum Siding
Sturdy and long-lasting; steel or aluminum siding holds up well to in the Upper Midwest climate. It won’t rust, chip or peel and is virtually maintenance free. The downside: it is prone to denting in significant hailstorms and the color may fade over a long period of time.
Vinyl Siding
A more economical choice for siding. Looks great, but lacks longevity of cedar and fiber cement. Color and texture can take on the look of handcrafted wood siding with less maintenance and care required than wood. Insulated vinyl siding can provide even more energy efficiency—warm in winter and cooler in the summer.
