Boosting your home’s curb appeal can significantly increase its value and attractiveness. In Denver, one of the defining factors of a home’s exterior aesthetics is its siding. At Scottish Home Improvements, we understand the impact of high-quality residential siding on Denver homes, and we’re here to explore the numerous options and benefits with you.
The Growing Demand for Quality Siding
The siding industry is bustling, projected to expand from $93.88 billion in 2023 to $98.62 billion in 2024, growing at a rate of 5.1% annually[1]. This growth signifies a vibrant market, where homeowners like you are choosing new siding to beautify and protect their homes.
Popular Siding Choices For Denver Homes
Denver, with its unique climate and aesthetic, has specific needs and preferences when it comes to siding. While national trends show a high usage of both stucco and vinyl, with 27% and 25% respectively in 2019[2], regional preferences can differ markedly. In the Northeast and Midwest, vinyl siding dominates due to its durability and affordability, used in 74% and 59% of homes respectively[2]. These statistics help us understand the broader trends, which we tailor to fit the unique Denver style and weather conditions.
However, it’s worth noting that vinyl siding has experienced a significant reduction in market share, decreasing by 12.8 percentage points over the past twenty years[5]. This could be due to the rising demand for more modern and durable materials that fit the evolving architectural styles and climate-specific requirements.
The Rise of Stucco in Denver
In contrast to the declining use of vinyl, stucco has become increasingly popular, especially in regions like Denver where its durability and aesthetic appeal align with local preferences. In 2023, stucco was used in 26.8% of new single-family homes started, becoming the most common principal siding material[5]. Its popularity is likely tied to its energy efficiency, which is crucial in Denver’s varied climate, and its smooth, modern look that enhances curb appeal.
