Choosing the Right Siding for Your DC Metro Home

If your home’s siding needs a refresh, the options can quickly feel overwhelming. From architectural guidelines to weather demands and budget considerations, choosing the right siding is no small task. Thankfully, Alco Products is here to help. Our experienced, family-owned exterior remodeling company guides homeowners through the siding replacement process, providing expert recommendations and stress-free installations in DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia.

Overview of Popular Siding Types

Alco Products partners with two globally acclaimed manufacturers – James Hardie and CertainTeed – to offer the very best to our clients throughout Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia. Here’s a brief overview of each siding type: 

James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

James Hardie fiber cement siding sets the standard in durability and performance. With systems engineered for variable Mid-Atlantic weather, fiber cement resists moisture, pests, and rot better than traditional wood siding. The exclusive ColorPlus® Technology finish ensures lasting vibrancy and fade resistance, reducing repainting needs and keeping your home’s color fresh for years.

Choose from a wide selection of colors, authentic textures, and popular profiles, including lap, board and batten, and shingle styles. Take a closer look at Hardie siding styles.

CertainTeed Vinyl Siding

CertainTeed vinyl siding is a favorite across the DC metro area for its affordability, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance performance. This premium vinyl siding stands up beautifully to moisture, insects, and temperature swings, making it a reliable choice for homes large and small.

Homeowners can choose from a range of colors, styles, and decorative accents to customize their exteriors. Discover more about vinyl siding for your home.

Featured Customer Review

Professional and Delivered on Promises - My wife and I chose Alco for a full exterior renovation in 2020. They installed an entirely new roof system, gutters, AZEK trim, and Fiber cement siding. ALCO delivered on every promise they made when we went to contract. The timeline and costs were accurate and the quality of workmanship was terrific. Friends and neighbors still tell us how wonderful the house looks! Thanks ALCO!
