Siding helps protect your home from the elements and lends a specific aesthetic to your property. However, with a variety of options on the market, homeowners may be unsure which style is best for them. For inspiration in creating a look suits you and your family, here are three popular home siding types.  

3 Popular Siding Styles

1. Brick

Lending a timeless, classic look to many homes, brick masonry is highly sought after for its aesthetic charm, durability, and resistance to fire and mold. While this material is built to last, it can shift under extreme weather conditions and can be costly compared to some other options. It also limits homeowners somewhat in terms of color variety, though bricks can be painted to the desired shade.

2. Vinyl 

Available in a variety of styles, colors, and textures, vinyl is a comparatively low-cost option that requires minimal labor to install, since it fits easily over existing siding. It’s also relatively low-maintenance compared to other options. Homeowners will appreciate the ability to choose from many styles that mimic wood and even stone. Vinyl isn’t as durable as materials like stone or brick, but can still last for 20 to 40 years, depending on the thickness. Many manufacturers also offer lifetime warranties. Mold growth can also be an issue with this type, though routine power washing will typically address the issue. 

3. Wood

Many homeowners appreciate the natural beauty of wood such as pine, cedar, and spruce.  Wood siding can be easily installed and arranged in a variety of ways from drop patterns to sheets to shingles to suit your unique aesthetic. Unfortunately, despite its beauty, wood isn’t fire-resistant and is more susceptible to pest damage, such as from termites.
