Houston Siding Installation
Custom Siding
What is the best type of siding to choose from in Houston?
There are many different things to consider when making a decision on replacement siding, first is your budget. Different materials and installation projects cost different amounts of money. You need to make sure what you decide on is in your price range. The second is how each type of siding looks. Every homeowner has different taste on what appearance they enjoy. Typically, you want to install siding on your home that you think looks nice. Finally, consider the climate where you live and how that can factor in.
Where you live is one of the biggest factors in how long your siding will last. When you think about Houston, you think heat (and in some places very moist). With that in mind, and knowing which type of siding thrives in what environment, we can assure you that Acrylic Siding is the best for extreme weather conditions.
We thought about the pros and cons of the types of siding that thrive in the heat, and here is the breakdown:
Engineered Wood– This is probably the most expensive but durable siding on the market today. It can handle the heat and moisture better than classic wood, as it is treated with fungus repellants and insecticides, handles moisture, mold and termites. While this is nice, as a homeowner you definitely PAY a significant amount more than typical wood for these features.
Fiber Cement- This type of siding is composed of a mix of cement, wood fibers, sand, and a few other elements. The cement aspect of fiber cement allows it to handle just about any climate, including hot and humid areas. However, it is a bit expensive to install, and even more so to repair if it breaks.
Acrylic Siding- Which brings us to the affordable, durable, and ever popular choice for homeowners everywhere: acrylic siding. Acrylic is the least expensive. Although it is vulnerable to the elements (so it may 
not be right for say, extreme cold climates), it can stand up to the heat and moisture with the best of materials. It doesn’t rot, flake or chip. It holds up in the intense Houston sun while barely fading, and can take as much wind as the Southern state can dish out.
Depending on your budget, the perfect choice for most homeowners in Houston is Acrylic Siding. It can stand up to everything the climate has to offer, is inexpensive to purchase and also to install, and customizable enough to ensure that the homeowner gets what appeals to their taste
