Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is the most popular siding in America because it is affordable, comes in a wide range of colors, and never needs painting. An occasional rinse with a garden hose keeps it looking clean. Vinyl comes in several styles:
- Clapboard (traditional lap): long horizontal boards that overlap, for a classic look.
- Dutch lap: like clapboard, but with a groove along the top of each board that adds a deeper shadow line.
- Insulated vinyl: foam backing adds rigidity and helps with energy efficiency.

CertainTeed Cedar Impressions
Cedar Impressions gives you the look of real cedar shakes without the staining, splitting or rot. The panels are molded from real cedar, so they carry natural wood grain, but they are made of durable polymer and hold their color for years. Styles include straight-edge Perfection shingles, Rough-Split shakes and Sawmill shingles. Many homeowners use them across the whole house, or as an accent on gables and dormers.

Board and Batten
Board and batten is a vertical style: wide boards with narrow strips (battens) covering the seams. It gives a home a modern farmhouse or rustic look and works well on a whole house or as an accent on gables, entryways and additions. Board and batten comes in vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement and LP SmartSide engineered wood, so you can get the look in whichever material fits your budget and style.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie siding is made from cement, sand and cellulose fibers. It is noncombustible and resists rot, pests and harsh weather, and its thicker boards look like painted wood. With the ColorPlus factory-baked finish, the color is applied in the plant for a longer-lasting look. Fiber cement is heavier than vinyl and should be installed by a trained installer. GenSun is a certified James Hardie installer.

Stone and Stone Veneer
Stone adds a high-end, timeless look and is often used as an accent on the lower part of the front, around entryways, on columns and porch piers, or on a chimney. Full natural stone is quarried rock and very heavy, so it usually needs a footing or ledge to sit on. Manufactured stone veneer is a lighter, thinner product cast from molds of real stone. It costs less, installs on most exterior walls without extra footings, and comes in many styles such as fieldstone, ledgestone, river rock and brick. Faux stone panels, like GenStone, are a third option: lightweight molded panels that give the stone look at a lower cost and go up quickly. Stone pairs well with vinyl, Hardie or LP siding for a custom look.

LP SmartSide Engineered Wood Siding
LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding treated with LP’s SmartGuard process to help resist fungal decay and termites. It has a deep cedar-grain texture, is lighter than fiber cement, and comes in long 16-foot boards, so there are fewer seams. It is available pre-primed or pre-finished in a range of colors, in lap, panel and board-and-batten styles.
NuCedar PVC Siding
NuCedar siding is made from cellular PVC and milled to look like real cedar shingles, clapboard and vertical siding. Because it is solid PVC, it will not rot or absorb water, and insects won’t damage it. It is a premium choice for homeowners who want a true wood look with very little upkeep, and it can be painted almost any color.
