One simple and effective way to improve your home’s aesthetics and efficiency is through siding replacement. But this upgrade can be a bit overwhelming, especially for first-timers. Let the premier exterior renovation company in the area, Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing, make the process easier with this getting-started guide.

Pick a Good Siding Material

Your choice of siding material is an important decision, so make sure to consider your options carefully. Wood siding, for example, is beautiful and tough, but is prone to moisture damage. Vinyl, meanwhile, is versatile and cost-effective, but tends to warp under extreme temperatures. If you want something better and longer lasting, take the third option: our fiber cement siding from James Hardie®. It’s designed to withstand the harshest elements, making it impervious to cracks, dents, chips and warping. Thanks to its innate durability, James Hardie siding allows for reliable performance that can last for decades.

Choose a Timeless Siding Color

You’ll want your siding color to take the look of your home to new heights. That’s why you should pick siding and trim colors that will beautifully match. Neutral colors, such as beige, white and gray, remain favorites because they’re lovely and timeless. But if you plan on choosing something different, Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing has got you covered. Our James Hardie fiber cement siding is not only available in pretty neutral colors; it also comes in vibrant hues that borrow from nature. The colors are baked into the material itself through ColorPlus® Technology, allowing for a consistent and fade-resistant finish that lasts longer than a regular paint job.

Work With a Trusted Siding Installer

Your siding is only as good as its installer, which is why it’s important to work with a professional who can deliver satisfactory results. For many homeowners in Austin, that will be Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing. We are a James Hardie Elite Preferred Installer, so you can expect us to complete your siding upgrade in a timely and efficient manner.
