Bellwether home exterior expertise includes window replacement, insulation, gutters, paint, and exterior design—and most especially, home siding for Colorado homes. While our first recommendation for Colorado homes is James Hardie fiber cement siding, you may choose a different siding option for your home—and our team members are experts in these alternative siding options as well. Recently, there has been a resurgence in the use of metal siding products. Should you choose metal siding for your Colorado home, Bellwether recommends Vesta Quality Edge metal siding for the best results.
Metal siding is a stronger material than vinyl or wood siding, usually made aluminum or steel, and therefore it offers more protections than vinyl or wood. Plus, with new joinery techniques, metal siding can achieve a similar look to vinyl siding and wood siding. Metal siding will not rust, rot, mold, or fade under the Colorado sun, and it is not attractive to pests or insects. Metal siding is also resistant to fire, which is especially important to protect mountain homes.
Vesta Quality Edge metal siding is composed of thick, sturdy steel, making it a more durable metal siding option.
Metal siding is pre-painted in-factory and can also be repainted, opening up an infinite range of color options for your home.
Vesta Quality edge metal siding imitates the grain of wood siding, with natural-looking variations. The pre-painted metal siding comes in a broad selection of both bold and neutral color choices utilizing the patented HD3 tri-color application process that captures light, medium, and dark woodgrain details, creating an organic, long-lasting look. These design options are engineered to last a lifetime.
While metal siding is as effective against some environmental and wildlife elements as fiber cement siding, it is not as naturally insulated as fiber cement siding. Metal siding will protect the exterior of your home, but offers less control over the interior environment. Even though Bellwether-installed metal siding will keep your home dry and protected, homes with metal siding are not as easily climate-controlled. Metal siding can also be more difficult to maintain and the paint may become scratched or damaged. With the rising prices of metal over the last few years, metal siding is no longer a cost-effective siding option, and steel siding is especially expensive to install.
If you choose metal siding for your Colorado home, Vesta Quality Edge is industry-recognized for its high-quality and stunning appearance. However, for the most Colorado appropriate home siding choice, Bellwether recommends James Hardie fiber cement siding, which matches metal siding in both price and style.
