Keeping Homes Watertight throughout Northern IL & Southern WI

There are many great siding options to enhance the look and feel of your home. Total Exteriors LLC ensures that you will be thrilled from start to finish! Let’s figure out what type of siding will work best for the look you want to achieve.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is designed to look like wood but is a type of plastic that protects your property from the elements. It’s more durable and longer lasting than conventional paint, and its non-porous nature makes it resistant to damage from moisture, UV rays, temperature extremes, and pests. Vinyl siding is also low maintenance, so you don’t have to worry about scraping or repainting every few years.

Wood Siding

Wood siding is a great option for homeowners who want the all-American look. This is an excellent choice for homeowners who want their homes to exemplify natural beauty. Even though it is made from natural wood, you still have plenty of stain and color options to achieve the appearance you want. Compared to other types of siding, wood siding requires a little extra maintenance, including treatment every few years, to maintain its durability.

Composite Siding

Composite siding is an affordable option made from scrap wood or recycled wood fibers pressed together. Then, it is coated with resin and treated with chemicals to resist fungi and insects. When you choose to install composite siding to your home, you can expect a low-maintenance exterior that will withstand heavy rainfall, hash blizzards, and extreme temperatures.

Metal Siding

Metal Siding offers superior durability and is able to withstand even the harshest weather conditions. Although it does come at a greater price than other siding options, metal siding offers long-lasting protection for up to 70 years! Its long lifespan will ensure you never have to replace your home’s siding again. It is also highly resistant to both water and fire damage.

Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement siding is a durable, packed mixture of cellulose fibers, sand, and cement. Not sure what that means? In other words, it combines all the great features of other types of siding into one. With fiber cement siding, you’ll get the whole package: good looks, durability, easy maintenance, and affordability. It is available in various sizes, thicknesses, densities, and designs.

Hardie Board Siding

Hardie Board is made of fiber cement, making it highly durable and resistant to wind, fire, heat, cold, and pests. It also comes in a variety of textures and colors which can give your home an eye-catching look. What differentiates it from other types of fiber cement siding options is that it has a proprietary finish that stands up to UV rays without fading.

LP SmartSide

LP SmartSide is a type of siding made from wood strands bonded with resin for extra strength and flexibility, resulting in a more traditional wood look. It’s low maintenance and doesn’t require painting or staining, making it easier to care for than some other types of siding. You can find LP SmartSide in a variety of colors and textures to create the appearance you want for your home.
