Types of Siding We Offer

We offer a variety of siding materials to match your style, budget, and long-term needs:

• Wood Siding – A classic, natural option that brings warmth and character to any home. Wood siding is typically either cedar planking and trim boards, or pine paneling (T1-11).
• Engineered Wood Siding – Provides the look of real wood with enhanced durability and weather resistance. LP SmartSide is our brand of choice for engineered wood siding, and Diamond Standard Exteriors is a Certified LP Installer.
• Fiber Cement Siding – A highly durable, low-maintenance siding option that resists rot, insects, and fire, and holds paint exceptionally well for long-term curb appeal. James Hardie is our brand of choice for cement fiber, and Diamond Standard Exteriors is a Certified James Hardie Installer.
• Vinyl Siding – A cost-effective, low-maintenance option available in a wide range of colors and styles. Brands of vinyl siding we carry include CertainTeed, Alside, Mastic, Norandex, and Royal. Diamond Standard Exteriors is both a PEPA Certified Vinyl Siding Installer and CertainTeed 5-Star Siding Contractor.
• Stone Veneer Siding – The beauty of natural stone with less weight and cost, perfect for accent walls and full-home applications. Brands of stone veneer siding we carry include Versetta Stone, CertainTeed, Coronado, Canyon Stone, and Stone Craft.

Eaves (Soffit and Fascia) and Trim

Siding isn’t just about walls—soffit, fascia, and trim play crucial roles in protecting your home’s structure and finishing its aesthetic. We install and replace these components with a variety of material offerings, including wood, engineered wood, fiber cement, and aluminum-clad wood.

• Soffit – Improves ventilation and prevents moisture buildup in your attic.
• Fascia – Provides a finished look and protects the edges of your roofline.
• Trim and Casing – Custom trim work around windows, doors, divider lines, and corners to enhance curb appeal and weather resistance.
• Mounting Blocks – Securely mount exterior fixtures like lights, vents, and hose bibs while maintaining a clean, finished look.
