With over 30 years experience in Michigan siding installation services we recommend siding types that fare the best in the Michigan climate, and provide you with the most value for the price. Solid wood siding is a common choice as it’s very strong, has a classic appearance, and can be either stained or painted depending on your preference. Wood siding, including wood planks or wood shake, is expensive option and requires maintenance to keep fresh and durable. For strong, durable siding Fiber cement is a great siding choice. It’s very resistant to moisture and is also non-combustible. It also requires regular maintenance and is very heavy. Vinyl siding is least expensive and doesn’t require much upkeep once installed and offers a large variety of styles and colors. Vinyl is also long lasting with little care and maintenance other than a good cleaning depending on the amount of vegetation and trees around your building. Vinyl siding may fade with time if exposed to prolonged sunlight. Similar in features to vinyl siding, aluminum siding can be a great choice although a higher cost. You can imitate the look of wood without actually installing wood siding. Aluminum siding can be subject to weather damage. A bit higher on the price scale, steel siding, is similar to aluminum, but it’s much more durable. It can imitate the look of wood better than vinyl, doesn’t require any painting.
