Siding Installation in St. Cloud

Types of Siding Materials

Siding is available in many materials, colors, and styles. Each siding material comes with its own set of advantages and challenges, which we carefully consider when helping you make the best choice for your home. 

Our St. Cloud siding installation and replacement professionals have the knowledge and proficiency to manage each material efficiently. Our team's proficiency helps us maximize the benefits of your chosen siding material while addressing any potential drawbacks, delivering a result that balances form and function.

Seamless Steel Siding

Seamless steel siding is custom-fitted to your home, eliminating unsightly seams or splits in the surface of your siding. Besides the obvious aesthetic benefits, no seam means less exposure to the elements. It is also one of the most durable siding materials on the market, designed with heavy gauge steel to withstand high winds and resist hail damage. The premium coating finish protects against dents and scratches. Its tighter seams and more rigid makeup also help prevent buckling or warping, and the material is designed to effectively handle persistent UV rays.

Steel Siding

Steel siding is another extremely durable option with specialized tough grading. The Klauer brand of steel siding we provide offers limited lifetime transferable warranties with 35-year chalk and fade protection. They are also made from a minimum of 70% recycled steel.

Choosing steel siding not only means superior longevity and strength but also contributes to environmental sustainability. As it’s made from recycled materials, steel siding is an eco-friendly choice for environmentally conscious homeowners. Additionally, its robust nature means that it can withstand extreme weather conditions typical in Minnesota, providing reliable protection for your home across decades. Its low maintenance requirements ensure minimal upkeep, allowing homeowners to enjoy its benefits without constant repairs or replacements, adding to the long-term value.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding remains one of the most economical ways to side your home while providing a strong, maintenance-free exterior in a variety of beautiful colors and finishes, including wood grain. Engineered from PVC resin, vinyl siding is weather-and insect-proof, fade-resistant, and virtually indestructible under normal circumstances. 

We provide a variety of vinyl brands and carry a wide array of shakes and panel options, including realistic textures and wood grains that can bring a rustic or modern style to complement your home’s architectural style. Because we are a Mastic Elite Contractor, we are able to offer a double lifetime warranty for free.

Vinyl siding is also beneficial for its insulating properties, which can enhance your home’s energy efficiency. Its durable nature ensures it resists cracking or warping due to temperature fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for climates that experience severe weather changes. Homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing that their siding retains its appearance and functionality, reducing energy costs and maintaining structural integrity.

Cedar Wood Siding

Many homeowners appreciate the timeless beauty wood siding offers. There are several varieties and grades to consider, including board and batten vertical siding and horizontal siding consisting of clapboards, shakes, and shingles. 

Note that wood siding requires a higher level of maintenance to retain its beauty and effectiveness. Maintenance can include power washing and staining and sealing whenever the heat of the sun fades the finish or when moisture leads to the growth of mold or mildew.

Despite requiring routine maintenance, cedar wood siding is cherished for its natural insulating properties and rich aesthetic appeal. Its organic composition allows it to seamlessly integrate into natural surroundings, offering a unique look that synthetic materials cannot replicate. Furthermore, when properly maintained, cedar wood siding can significantly increase a home's resale value, providing a strong return on investment due to its durability and curb appeal.

Cement Siding

Cement board is a popular choice for exterior cladding. It has a long history as an affordable, attractive siding option and comes in a variety of textures and colors. The appearance of the boards is made to mimic many other siding materials, including wood lap siding as well as shakes and shingles. Other great benefits for property owners include longevity, fire resistance, and storm resistance. These features of cement board make it a low-maintenance, long-lasting siding option.

Engineered Wood Siding

Engineered wood siding has become increasingly popular thanks to its superior performance, durability, and strength – not to mention its beauty. It rivals the look of natural wood without many of the pitfalls that come with real wood siding. We work with LP SmartSide, which offers a family of engineered wood siding products that includes lap siding, trim, fascia, shakes, soffit, and panels – all backed by an industry-leading 5/50-Year Transferable Limited Warranty.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, engineered wood siding offers significant cost advantages over traditional wood, as it requires less maintenance and repairs. Its engineered composition allows it to resist termites and fungal decay better than natural wood options, making it a solid choice for homeowners looking for a balance between style, performance, and cost. Additionally, its versatility in design makes it suitable for various home styles, from classic to contemporary.

Soffit and Fascia

From moderating extreme temperatures to controlling moisture in attic spaces, fascia and vented soffit make your home more comfortable by venting moisture. In addition, fascia provides maintenance-free protection to the edge of your roof between the shingles and the soffit.

Proper installation of soffits and fascia is crucial for protecting the structural integrity of your home. They play an essential role in preventing moisture buildup that can lead to rot and mold, safeguarding your investment in quality siding. An integrated soffit and fascia system can enhance your home’s ventilation, reducing the occurrence of mold and mildew, particularly in humid regions. This not only elongates the lifespan of your siding and roofing but also contributes to a healthier indoor environment.
