Expert Siding Installation Contractors
Find the right siding material for your home
Nothing transforms the look of your home the way that new siding can. Installing new siding on your home will raise your curb appeal and property value, and it can even help with insulation and energy efficiency. There are a number of quality siding materials to choose from, giving you plenty of options to find the perfect siding design for your home.
Vinyl siding is the most popular and common siding choice, fiber cement, steel, and more are all among the options homeowners have. At ARAC Roof It Forward, we will help you find the best siding material for the look you want to achieve and give you an expert installation of high-quality products.
What Are the Different Types of Siding?
At ARAC Roof It Forward, we offer a variety of siding materials for your home:
Vinyl siding
Vinyl siding is the most popular residential siding material, providing excellent affordability, durability, and versatility. Vinyl is very low maintenance and easy to clean. There are a wide variety of colors and styles to choose from, so you can design just about any look you can think of your home. Even better, vinyl can be made to match the appearance of materials such as cedar shingles.
Fiber cement siding
Fiber cement is made from a mixture of cement, sand, wood fiber, and clay, and is one of the most durable siding materials available. Fiber cement is often used to replicate the appearance of materials such as wood, stone, and stucco. You can easily paint fiber cement any color you choose, though weather exposure will eventually cause it to require re-painting. Fiber cement holds up very well against severe weather, and it is also fire and insect resistant.
What is Steel Siding?
For durability and longevity, it's hard to beat steel siding. Steel provides excellent weather, dent, and scratch resistance, and it won't be harmed by fire or insects. Steel can be used as a standalone material to create a modern look, or it can be designed to mimic the appearance of materials such as cedar siding. Steel can be on the pricier side to install and doesn't offer as many options as some other materials, but it makes up for these flaws with unmatched durability.

Frequently Asked Questions About Siding
What does new siding cost: vinyl vs fiber cement?
Siding installation from ARAC Roof It Forward runs $10,000 to $15,000 for a typical home, in both vinyl and fiber cement. Vinyl is the budget-friendly, low-maintenance option; fiber cement costs more up front but offers superior durability and fire resistance.
How long does a siding installation take?
Most complete siding replacements take about 3 to 5 days. Timing depends on the size of the home, the siding type, weather, and whether any underlying repairs are needed. Larger homes, custom trim, or projects requiring sheathing or structural repairs can take longer. We provide a clear timeline before work begins and keep you informed throughout.
How should I choose between vinyl and fiber cement siding?
Choose vinyl for value and low maintenance; choose fiber cement for premium durability and appearance. Vinyl is affordable, low-maintenance, and available in many colors and styles, with no painting required. Fiber cement, such as James Hardie, resists weather, impact, pests, and fire, and closely mimics real wood, at a higher upfront cost. During our consultation we compare both against your home's architecture, budget, and long-term plans so you pick the right fit.
