Our expert team specializes in comprehensive siding solutions that combine durability, aesthetic appeal, and long-lasting protection for Indianapolis homeowners.
Why Professional Siding Installation Matters
Siding is more than just a cosmetic feature—it’s your home’s first line of defense against Indianapolis’ diverse weather conditions. From scorching summer heat to freezing winter temperatures, quality siding installation protects your home’s structural integrity while dramatically improving its curb appeal. Each siding material has its own installation characteristics. Most of them will expand and contract with changes in temperature. While siding may look great the day it’s installed, the contractor must allow for movement. Cutting it or nailing it too tight or not caulking it may result in rippling, buckling or gaps in the siding in the opposite season than it’s installed. Modern Roof is your trusted siding partner.
Types of Modern Roof Siding
Vinyl Siding
When it comes to weatherproof siding, vinyl is still the most cost effective solution. It keeps your home dry and protected from the weather like snow and rain. There are different levels of vinyl siding, from the builder-grade non-insulated vinyl to insulated panels that stay flatter along the wall and look more like wood. Vinyl siding manufacturers have also added new designs like board and batten and cedar shake vinyl siding. Although many people may shy away from vinyl because of the mass production subdivision look, don’t assume all vinyl is the same. Let Modern Roof show you modern vinyl siding options for your home.
Wood Siding
We see 3 options in what most people consider wood siding.
(1) Cedar Siding still gives the true look and feel of wood. It’s warm and beautiful and most people would love to have it, even if it’s an accent wall or porch trim. It can be painted or sealed with a clear sealer. Unfortunately, just as much as we like it, so do insects and woodpeckers.
(2) Fiber cement is seen as a sturdier siding than vinyl and the advancements in pre-painted siding has lead to more of it used in modern homes. Fiber cement outperforms wood siding in the insect area and woodpeckers don’t burrow holes in it like real wood. The downside is it does needed painted sooner or later. Many people know the brand names like James Hardie or GAF WeatherSide. These companies have a variety of siding types, including horizontal and vertical siding, cedar shake,
(3) LP SmartSide also makes a composite siding board and many builders use it for trim, even on vinyl sided homes.
Steel Siding
Today, there is a trend for steel siding. With many people building barndominiums, they are using ribbed steel panels, often used on the exterior siding as well. These panels have exposed fasteners which many people dislike.
Another option is a board and batten steel siding, shown here in white. Modern Roof and roll the siding on-site, just like standing seam metal roofing, but the profile is a true board and batten. The fasteners are hidden on this board and batten design so the siding is smooth without disruption. Available in a variety of colors, both glossy and matte finishes, as well as a wood grain steel finish.
The other option is to use standing seam metal on the exterior walls as well as the roof. Still, no exposed fasteners. Nice, clean look.
