Answers to common questions about siding replacement, materials, hail resistance, and weather performance for homes in the Denver Metro area.
What siding materials perform best in Colorado's climate?
Fiber cement, engineered wood, vinyl, and metal siding all perform well in Colorado, but fiber cement and engineered wood offer the best balance of durability and weather resistance.
Homes in the Denver Metro area face hail, strong UV exposure, rapid temperature swings, and occasional wildfire risk. Fiber cement (like James Hardie) delivers excellent fire resistance and long-term stability, while engineered wood (like LP SmartSide) provides impact resistance and rich curb appeal. Our team helps compare materials based on your home's design and needs.
Is fiber cement siding good for hail-prone areas like the Denver Metro?
Yes, fiber cement siding is one of the most hail-resistant options for Colorado homeowners because it resists cracking, denting, and warping.
Dense composition and reinforced installation methods help fiber cement withstand storm impacts and temperature extremes. For areas that regularly experience hail, fiber cement is a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution. It also offers strong fire protection, which is a valuable benefit in Colorado's dry seasons.
How does LP SmartSide perform in Colorado weather?
LP SmartSide performs very well in Colorado due to its engineered design, impact resistance, and ability to withstand temperature swings.
Its treated wood fibers create a durable, flexible siding that resists hail, wind, and moisture. Many homeowners choose engineered wood for its natural appearance and lighter weight compared to fiber cement. When installed correctly, it provides long-term durability and excellent curb appeal.
Can new siding improve energy efficiency or comfort?
Yes, modern siding systems combined with proper underlayment and insulation can help regulate indoor temperatures in Colorado's variable climate.
Upgraded siding reduces drafts, improves wall insulation, and helps maintain more consistent temperatures during winter freezes and summer heat. When paired with energy-efficient windows and proper attic ventilation, it significantly improves home comfort. Our team evaluates your full exterior to recommend the best combination for performance.
How long does siding replacement usually take?
Most siding replacement projects take about one to two weeks, depending on the home's size, material choice, and weather conditions.
Colorado's weather can impact timelines, especially during snow, rain, or high-wind days. Weather delays can happen during storm seasons, but we plan installations carefully to keep your home protected. Our team provides clear expectations and communicates throughout the project.
What are common signs that siding needs to be replaced?
Common signs include cracking, warping, fading, moisture damage, soft spots, or visible gaps where panels no longer sit flush.
In the Denver Metro area, intense sun and hail often accelerate wear on old siding. You may notice swelling, peeling paint, or loose boards after storms or long-term weather exposure. A professional inspection can determine whether repairs are sufficient or if full replacement is the better long-term solution.
