Vinyl siding is an excellent choice for homeowners in College Park looking for durable, attractive, and low-maintenance exterior that stands up to harsh weather without fading, cracking, or warping. It’s the most cost-effective option for most homes.
Hardie Board siding is a durable and long-lasting material made up of cellulose fibers, Portland cement, sand, water, and protective additives, combining durability and beautiful curb appeal with low maintenance. Hardie Board siding’s Class A fire-resistance rating may qualify you for homeowners insurance discounts.
Wood siding offers classic appeal but requires more maintenance in Maryland’s humid climate. Stone siding offers the rich, natural look of real stone with modern advantages – it’s lightweight, durable, and designed to replicate unique textures and colors with integrated drainage to prevent moisture buildup. College Park’s rolling terrain and proximity to the Chesapeake Bay create specific moisture challenges that quality materials address effectively.

Most siding installations take 3-7 days depending on your home’s size, current siding condition, and material choice. Homes with second stories cost up to 10% more and take more time as we use ladders and safety equipment. Installing shingle siding requires more precision and time compared to lap siding, and homes with intricate architectural details may require additional labor.

We monitor weather forecasts closely and adjust schedules to ensure quality installation. If tear-off is necessary, which happens about 70% of the time when current siding is too damaged to overlay, that adds 1-2 days to the project timeline.
