| Engineered Wood | Engineered wood siding looks like wood, but is made from wood strands that are coated with a resin binder and compressed to create a board. The boards are coated with a moisture-resistant overlay. | ||
| Fiber Cement | Fiber cement looks like wood but is composed of cement, sand, and cellulose fiber. Fiber cement is more durable than wood, and is termite-resistant, water-resistant, and non-combustible. | ||
| Log Siding | Log siding is made from wooden logs, usually pine or cedar | ||
| Seamless Steel Siding | Seamless steel siding is custom fit. It is very durable, corrosion resistant, and maintenance free. It has a vinyl-coating bonded to the steel surface and never needs painting and is scratch resistant. | ||
| Shingle Siding | Shingle siding is applied by shingle or shake boards which over-lap one another. Shingle siding is usually made from cedar wood, but can come in other materials | ||
| Steel Siding | Steel siding won't rust, crack, chip, peel, blister, or flake. It is fire and termite resistant and can come in a variety of styles and colors. | ||
