More Minnesota Home Siding Trends

In a previous post we shared about the popularity of an on-trend siding material – stone. (Click here to read that article.) The stone look is very popular, and with the product we install from Boral, it’s available to get it in a cultured stone product at a fraction of the cost. But perhaps you’ve got other siding dreams.  Here are more current trends in home siding.

Fiber Cement Siding

One overall trend in home design and remodeling that shows no signs of going away, and in fact is on the increase, is the switch to eco-friendly building products. A highly recommended siding option that fits this designation is fiber cement siding.  It comes with many functional benefits that you wouldn’t be able to get from other siding materials. It has great durability, holds up well to Minnesota weather, and is highly fire resistant.  But it also has the beauty that allows you to have it stand out more than other options.

Some may argue that this is the best siding out there, and it’s our first recommendation when homeowners ask us to suggest siding materials for their homes.

Vinyl Siding

You might wonder how vinyl siding – a product that’s been around since the 50s – could be considered a trend. There are a number of reasons for this.  Once considered a ‘cheap’ product, the quality has improved vastly since it was introduced.  With certain vinyl siding products, you get the look or real wood without the drawbacks such as high maintenance.

This siding is more affordable that many other siding materials, but it might not provide as high of function as the other options that are out there. We install some great insulated and non-insulated vinyl siding materials that replicate the look of wood siding without needing to cut down trees.  And what we install stands up well to our weather.

Another reason for vinyl siding being on-trend is because it’s available now in so many different colors and styles that you can mix and match to create a truly custom look for your home, which is definitely a major home exterior trend. Cookie cutter homes that look like all the others in an area are passé, so being able to create a unique look for a home is something many homeowners find appealing.

When it comes time to replace your siding, you might want to go with something trending.  But make sure to choose a siding material that has function as well. Speak with us today to find out more about our siding materials and what we might recommend for your home here in the Minneapolis area.
