When it comes to siding—one of the most significant exterior home renovation decisions—you have plenty of options to consider. At The Third Estimate, we provide top-quality siding from premier brands like Norandex and James Hardie. We also offer some of the most popular styles, including Horizontal, Shake, and Board and Batten. Each siding style has it’s own unique look.
Horizontal Siding
You will commonly see horizontal siding, also known as clapboard or lap siding, on most residential homes. This style offers both easy installation and durability. Manufacturers provide a variety of styles and materials for this siding option. Installers place the boards from the bottom to the top, creating an overlapping pattern that helps with water runoff and moisture protection.
Board and Batten
Installers create board and batten siding using wide vertical boards, called boards, and cover the seams with narrow strips, known as battens. Gaining popularity with the rise of the Modern Farmhouse style, Board and Batten siding is an excellent choice for homeowners who want to add character and charm to their home’s exterior. Its versatility, durability, and energy efficiency make it a popular choice for many homeowners looking for a distinctive siding style.
Shake Siding
Shake is a siding style recognized for its natural and rustic appearance. Although traditionally crafted from wood, such as cedar, they can also be produced from vinyl or fiber cement. Different materials can replicate the texture of wooden shingles for easier maintenance. This siding style can be installed in a variety of shapes and patterns. The textured shingles add a more decorative, dimensional look to your home.
