Before
Colorado is hard on a house.
Hail, high-altitude sun, freeze and thaw. It shows up as faded siding, fogged glass, gray decks and weathered fences.
Step 1 of 5: Tear-off
First, everything tired comes off.
Scaffolding goes up. Old siding, decks and rails come down to the sheathing, so nothing rotten gets covered over.
Step 2 of 5: Siding
Wrapped before a single board goes on.
House wrap and flashing keep water out of the wall. The stone base goes in first.
Step 2 of 5: Siding
Sided for hail and sun.
Fiber cement board and batten climbs the wall, in a factory finish that holds its color and meets Colorado's wildfire code.
Step 3 of 5: Windows
Windows that seal.
Fogged glass means the seal failed. New fiberglass frames and clear low-E glass keep the heat where you want it.
Step 4 of 5: Decks
Second-story decks, built to code.
New framing, composite boards, glass and steel rail, and stairs that pass inspection.
Step 5 of 5: Paint and stain
Finished down to the fences.
Trim, doors and gutters get exterior coatings made for sun at altitude. The fence gets a fresh cedar stain.

Siding styles
Six ways to side a house.
The style is the shape of the boards and the shadow they cast. Most homes mix two: one for the walls, another for the gables or the base.
Lap
Long horizontal boards, each overlapping the one below. The most common siding in Colorado, and the easiest to match on an addition.
Suits nearly any house.
Dutch lap
A lap board with a curved groove cut along its top edge, so every course throws a deeper shadow line.
Suits traditional and colonial homes.
Board and batten
Wide vertical boards with a narrow strip over each seam. It makes a wall read taller. This is the siding on the house above.
Suits farmhouse and mountain modern homes, and gables on anything.
Shake
Small overlapping pieces with a staggered edge. The look of hand-split cedar, also made in fiber cement that will not burn or rot.
Suits gables, dormers and craftsman homes.
Vertical panel
Flat vertical boards with a thin gap between them and no battens. The cleanest line of the six.
Suits modern homes and entry accents.
Stone veneer
Not siding, strictly, but its usual partner: a band of stone along the base, around the entry or up a chimney.
Suits the bottom three feet of almost anything.
What the boards are made of
| Material | Lasts | Hail and sun | Wildfire code | Installed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber cement | About 50 years | Holds up to both. Factory finishes resist fading. | Will not burn. Qualifies in mapped wildfire areas. | $7 to $13 / sq ft |
| Engineered wood | Decades with upkeep | Resists impact well. Lighter and quicker to install. | Burns, so it is limited in mapped wildfire areas. | $7 to $14 / sq ft |
| Vinyl | 20 to 40 years | Can crack in hail and cold, and fades in strong sun. | Allowed only over a fire-rated wall. | $3 to $12 / sq ft |

Built for here
Colorado's weather writes the spec.
- HailThe Front Range sees about 13 severe hailstorms a year. We inspect for free and document the damage for your adjuster.
- SunA wall at 5,280 feet takes about 25% more UV than one at sea level. We use finishes rated for it.
- Wildfire codeColorado's Wildfire Resiliency Code took effect July 2026. Fiber cement siding qualifies as ignition-resistant.
- HOA and permitsWe prepare the HOA color submittal and pull the deck permit, so you don't have to.
