A Colorado Springs Siding Contractor You Can Trust

Colorado Springs has a number of different neighborhoods that all have distinct architectural styles. Due to the diversity of the city and individuality of the residents, it is important to choose a siding contractor that has experience and expertise in a number of different types of siding methods and choices. It is also important to work with a siding contractor that is local and has personal knowledge of the area. At Scottish Home Improvements, we can provide all of this and more.

The developments on the outskirts of the city are perfect candidates for both vinyl siding and James Hardie® siding. Vinyl siding would be a suggestion for homes where the value of the home requires a less expensive solution. We often work with prodigy vinyl siding because with its amazing insulating properties it works well for most of these homes. James Hardie fiber cement siding works well to protect homes from the wind, hail, snow, and rain. With the spontaneous weather in Colorado Springs, these concerns become very prevalent.

James Hardie® Siding Colorado Springs

In the older parts of Colorado Springs, stucco siding, wood siding, and James Hardie® Fiber Cement siding are great choices. Wood siding allows us to match the textures, colors, and styles that the older wood frame homes have been built in for over 100 years. The only setback here is that natural wood requires continual maintenance and upkeep. Stucco panel siding made from fiber cement is an especially good choice for many of the more traditional homes built in western Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. Whether working with traditional stucco siding methods or James Hardie® Stucco Panels we can match your home’s existing stucco texture and appearance. However, James Hardie® Stucco Panels will outlast standard stucco finishes because it will not chip or crack.

LP SmartSide for Colorado Springs Homes

In a world where anything can happen, durability matters. Especially when it comes to your siding! While cedar siding has an undeniably beautiful appearance, its soft, porous composition makes it difficult to protect and maintain. LP SmartSide offers Colorado Springs homeowners a modern alternative to traditional cedar that’s low risk, low maintenance, and durable enough to endure the extreme weather and seasonal changes of the Front Range.

A true innovation, LP SmartSide brings you all the character and beauty of traditional wood siding while also giving your home the lasting durability and protection it needs. LP SmartSide is treated with SmartGuard, a unique blend of waxes and resin, giving it the ability to withstand contact with moisture and freezing temperatures without rotting or degrading. SmartGuard seals the beautiful wood strands, binding them together and strengthening them so that they’re impenetrable to water, hail, insects, and impact. The result of this technique is a beautiful exterior that looks like natural wood, but is much stronger and requires less maintenance.
