Is All Siding Created Equal?

When your home’s siding begins to warp, crack, or rot, it’s time for replacement with new materials. Choosing the right siding can be complex, considering various types each with unique benefits and drawbacks.

At D&D Construction Services, serving Jacksonville, Florida, and surrounding areas (contact us at (904) 432-1216), we offer expert guidance tailored to your budget, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance expectations. Popular choices include:

Stucco Siding:

Stucco consists of cement, water, and sand, offering affordability, versatility, and durability. It’s fire-resistant and insulating, lasting up to 50 years. However, it’s less effective in rainy climates and prone to cracking with foundation shifts in older homes.

Vinyl Siding:

Affordable and low-maintenance, vinyl lasts 30-40 years. While easy to clean, it can crack and is flammable, requiring complete section replacement if damaged.

Fiber Cement Siding:

Resembling wood but fire, insect, and water-resistant, fiber cement is durable with minimal maintenance if factory-painted. Installation can be challenging due to its weight, but it offers long-term color retention.

Wood Siding:

Known for its natural appeal, wood requires regular maintenance like repainting and re-staining every few years. It’s susceptible to fire, water, and insects, but engineered wood variants offer enhanced durability and insect-proofing.

At D&D Construction Services, we understand the importance of choosing siding that suits your home’s needs and climate conditions. Whether you prefer the timeless look of wood or the durability of fiber cement, our expertise ensures a seamless installation process.
