The right type of siding you depends on things like your budget, the look you want, and how exposed your house is to various types of weather. Vinyl is very popular because it's budget-friendly, works well in most climates, and comes in a variety of styles. Many people like the aesthetics of wood siding, and that it's easy to paint when they want a different look for their house. If you frequently have problems with insects (especially termites), you might avoid wood siding, as it can attract these pests. Some people avoid metal siding because of the cost. However, if you can make metal work for your home and budget, you'll have durable siding that can last decades. Lastly, fiber cement siding usually has the longest lifespan out of all our All Star options. Fiber cement is low-maintenance and very fire-resistant compared to some other materials. The downside is the cost-many homeowners prefer something higher-maintenance but more budget-friendly.
