Modern Siding Inspiration for Your Home

A good portion of the value of your home comes from curb appeal - the external characteristics of your property and the house that sits on it. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, a well-maintained lawn, healthy foliage, a new driveway, a clean roof, and so forth.

Yet one of the biggest and ironically most overlooked characteristics of curb appeal is the siding on your home. Many view their siding as being "good enough" because, from a distance, it looks clean and intact. However, up close often tells an entirely different story.

If your siding is damaged, degraded, or dated, it is time for a facelift! But then comes the question: What type of siding should you get? The Window Depot, which has an in-house siding installation team on hand for the Tampa Bay area, developed a list of some of the most modern siding styles and materials for their customers. 

Popular Siding Styles and Materials

Vinyl Siding - The technology behind vinyl siding has significantly improved over the years. It is still one of the most cost-effective ways to update your home's curb appeal. This durable siding comes in different colors and styles that mimic other materials, such as wood.

Brick Siding - While this option is durable and highly energy efficient in many ways, it is costly. However, if your budget allows, this can significantly accentuate the height of your home, making it look grandiose and contemporary.

Stucco Siding - Stucco is a rigid material that suits many Spanish-style homes and Mediterranean aesthetics. You see different derivatives of stucco throughout southern and southwestern states, including Florida, where The Window Depot is headquartered.

Wood Siding - It is valuable to note that this type of siding material must be regularly maintained to preserve its durability. Wood siding does not have to be all neutral colors and can be treated and colored in various ways.

Panel Siding - Found more commonly on the exterior of contemporary homes, panels give a clean look of straight edges and modernity achievable by other materials. In some locations, a popular design style using panels is by combining the surface type, such as corrugated and smooth.

Stone-Veneer Siding - This is similar to vinyl being an affordable alternative to wood and other materials, but with brick. Stone-veneer siding gives homeowners an affordable option in achieving all the natural aesthetic beauty of brick siding.
