Vinyl Siding
Vinyl SidingVinyl siding is a durable plastic wrapping used for the exterior of a home. It’s been a popular choice in Maryland because of its combined attributes of being affordable, attractive, and easy to maintain. It also has other benefits such as:
- Recyclable — As a plastic resin, vinyl can be recycled and reused, making it more environmentally friendly than other options.
- Versatile — Vinyl exterior siding comes in a wide variety of color combinations and styles.
- Highly Weather Resistant — Vinyl is water-proof so it won’t absorb moisture and easily stands up to rain.
- Lifetime Warranty — Vinyl siding can last 20 to 40 years and comes backed by the manufacturer’s guarantee.
Fiber Cement Siding
Fiber cement siding is a durable material used for residential homes. It’s a popular choice in Maryland because of its combined attributes of being long-lasting, low-maintenance, and versatility in style. It also has other benefits such as:
- Emulates Wood — Fiber cement mimics the look of wood grain, making this man-made option look naturally attractive.
- Pest and Microbial Resistant — The tight seaming in fiber cement makes it almost completely resistant to mold, pests, and rot.
- Fire Resistant — Fiber cement is non-combustible, so your siding won’t burn or add fuel to a fire. This makes the material especially useful for customers in fire-prone regions.
- Highly Weather Resistant — Fiber cement won’t expand or contract with hot and cold, making it much less likely to crack. Additionally, for customers who live on the coast, we highly recommend fiber cement siding, as it will stay resilient against the salty sea air.
Vinyl vs. Fiber Cement Siding Services
While both options have their perks, you may still be wondering which one is the right choice for you. Every home is unique and may call for a different siding material based on factors such as:
- Weather specific to your area
- Your unique tastes
- The style of your home
- Frequency of fires in your location
- Whether or not you live on the coast
