"Brothers Exterior Solutions recently completed siding, roofing and gutter work on our home, and we are extremely happy with the results. From the initial consultation through project completion, Armando and his team worked diligently to exceed our expectations. We greatly appreciate the attention to detail and craftsmanship shown throughout the process. While removing the old roofing and siding they found four areas with rotten boards which they promptly replaced before putting the new roof and siding on. They even started and finished the project sooner than originally planned for! We would confidently recommend Brothers Exterior Solutions to anyone seeking reliable, high-quality siding, roofing and gutter services. Great company! Thanks to Armando & his team our house has a whole new look and is protected from WI weather for years to come! The siding looks beautiful and has completely transformed the curb appeal of our home. The roofing was done with great attention to detail, and we feel confident knowing it was installed with high-quality materials and craftsmanship. The crew worked efficiently, kept the site clean, and finished on schedule. It’s not often you find a company that delivers both excellent service and excellent results, but [Company Name] truly did. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend them to anyone needing siding or roofing work done!"

Siding questions, answered by experts

As stunning and natural as stone siding is, it's not for everyone. Some popular siding alternatives to stone siding include:

  • Aluminum siding

  • Brick veneer siding

  • Engineered wood siding

  • Fiber cement siding

  • Wood siding

  • Vinyl siding

If you want the look of natural stone siding without the high material and installation costs, vinyl siding may be one of the best alternatives. It’s lightweight, low-cost, and low maintenance but does have a lower life span than natural stone.

You cannot install clapboard siding on a bare, unprepared surface. Clapboard siding requires a clean, sturdy base made from plywood or similar materials, sometimes called backerboard. Then, it needs an underlayment or sheathing, a moisture membrane to help protect the exterior wall.

Note that sometimes clapboard siding is caulked as it’s installed for additional protection. We don’t suggest this: Caulking the siding can trap moisture inside the clapboards and lead to moisture damage over time. The siding needs some space to “breathe,” especially in rainy weather.

To calculate how much siding you need for exterior walls, first measure the height and width of the rectangular walls. For the triangular gable walls, measure the width and then the height from the ground to the tallest gable point.

  • For the rectangular walls, the calculation is: length x height

  • For the triangular gable walls, the calculation is: (length x height) / 2

Once you add these up, include an additional 10% to account for any wastage.

Choosing siding combinations that look good together comes down to finding textures and colors that complement each other. You want some contrast so that your home doesn’t look boring or too uniform, but you also want the materials to play off of each other so that each makes the other stand out. It’s a good idea to hire a siding professional to create 3D renderings for you so you can get a sense of what your home will look and feel like before you get started.

Hardie board is more expensive than vinyl siding. Vinyl siding costs $3 to $12 per square foot, on average, with cost skewing toward the lower end of that range. Hardie board siding costs $7 to $18 per square foot, depending on the style, color, and trim. However, it lasts twice as long and often looks nicer, meaning you’ll see a higher bump in your home value and greater curb appeal from Hardie board.
