Siding, Seasons and the Colorado Climate
Every region wears siding out in its own way. For Colorado, with summer highs near 85°F, the main factors are these:
Climate regions run from 1 (cool) to 5 (hot); Colorado sits in region 1.
Hailstorms. After a storm, check the walls that faced the wind. A cracked or holed panel lets water in and should be replaced, often under a homeowner's policy.
Cold-weather impacts. Cold makes vinyl stiff and easier to crack when something hits it. Thicker panels survive a winter of shovels, balls and ladders better; fiber cement ignores the cold, but its cut ends must be sealed.
Fire codes. Some parts of Colorado limit what can go on an exterior wall because of wildfire risk. Ask whether your address is covered - fiber cement passes almost everywhere.
Sun-facing walls. The south and west sides of a house age first here. Fade-resistant colors, a heavier vinyl panel or prefinished fiber cement all slow that wear; glare off a neighbor's window can even mark vinyl, which a good contractor will point out.
Contractors here work most of the year, but early spring and late fall book fastest. Ask about a midsummer start if you want a shorter wait.

Reading Siding Estimates in Colorado
Low bids often leave work out. Hold each quote to these terms:
- Crew. Ask if the seller installs with its own staff or a subcontractor.
- Corners and trim. Matching corner posts and starter strip should be in the price, not an extra.
- Old layer. Taking off old vinyl or aluminum adds about $1,980 here; get it listed as its own line.

Colorado Siding Questions, Answered
Should I pay more for fiber cement siding?
That depends on your plans. For a long stay or a higher-value home, fiber cement at $19,860 to $28,690 makes sense; for the lowest cost, vinyl at $11,440 to $16,520 is hard to beat.
What is the price of siding per 100 square feet?
Siding is priced by the square (100 sq. ft. of wall). In Colorado, vinyl runs about $678.54 per square and fiber cement about $1,217.13, materials and labor, before trim and tear-off.
Can new siding go over the old siding?
It depends on what is under it. Sound, flat walls can take a new layer; soft spots, stains or bulges mean the old siding should come off, at about $1,980 to $3,950 here.
