Siding Contractor in Fort Collins, CO
Siding That Holds Up to Colorado Weather
Siding does more than shape your home’s curb appeal — it’s the barrier standing between your walls and everything Fort Collins weather can throw at it: intense UV exposure, hail, wind, and sharp temperature swings between seasons. As a dedicated siding contractor in Fort Collins, CO, HWG Exteriors installs and repairs siding systems chosen specifically for how they perform in this climate, not just how they look on day one.
We install a range of materials so you’re not stuck choosing between style and durability.
Siding Materials We Install
James Hardie Fiber Cement
Fiber cement siding resists fire, moisture, and hail far better than traditional wood or vinyl, and it holds its color for decades thanks to ColorPlus technology. It's one of the most requested materials for Fort Collins homes because it performs well across all four seasons. Learn more about James Hardie siding →
TruLog Steel Log Siding
For homeowners who want the look of a log cabin without the maintenance headaches that come with real wood, TruLog delivers an authentic log aesthetic backed by the durability of steel. It resists rot, insects, and warping — all common issues with traditional log siding in Colorado's dry climate.
LP SmartSide
An engineered wood siding option that offers the look of traditional wood siding with better resistance to moisture and pests, at a lower cost than fiber cement.
Vinyl Siding
A budget-friendly option available in a wide range of colors and styles, vinyl siding is low-maintenance and holds up reasonably well to Colorado's climate, though it's less impact-resistant than fiber cement or steel options.
Stucco
Traditional and synthetic stucco offer a distinct look popular in Southwestern-influenced home designs. We install and repair both, though stucco requires a different maintenance approach than the other siding materials above — we're happy to walk you through the tradeoffs.
What Siding Replacement Costs in Fort Collins
Siding costs vary depending on your home’s size, the material you choose, and how much of the existing siding needs to come off first. Vinyl tends to be the most budget-friendly option, while fiber cement and steel log siding sit at a higher price point that reflects their longer lifespan and lower long-term maintenance. We’ll give you a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins so there aren’t surprises partway through the project.
Signs Your Siding Needs Attention
Warping, cracking, fading that won’t go away with a wash, or soft spots when you press on the surface are all signs it’s time for a professional look. Left unaddressed, damaged siding can let moisture behind the walls, leading to bigger and more expensive problems down the line.
