Exterior siding and fiber cement siding are more attractive than many people realize. There was a time when wooden clapboard and stonewalls were the most beautiful and the most advanced home exteriors around.
Today, the highest-quality exterior siding is fiber cement siding. Fiber cement siding is available in a gorgeous array of textures, materials, and colors. James Hardie offers the high quality and range of colors and materials that Colorado values.
A Look At Fiber Cement Siding
Not only does fiber cement siding protect the original wooden structures of homes, it also adds lasting value by reducing the cost of regular shingle repair and regular painting. Before siding, painting and shingle repair was seasonal, and an extreme weather necessity. Even without an extreme weather event, homeowners repaired broken wood and repainted on a seasonal or yearly basis simply to maintain the structural integrity of the building.
Today’s wide selection of James Hardie siding and fiber cement siding colors and unique designs allow you to showcase your personality with the highest quality Denver home siding products available.

How Do I Choose a Color for My Siding?
Beyond the structural considerations and the home renovations cost and budget, the primary concern for many homeowners is how to choose a color for their Denver home siding. Among some of the design considerations are:
- Personal color preferences — You might want to invest in precisely the color of home siding that you personally consider beautiful.
- Landscaping — Color and style of lawn, shrubbery, and flowers.
- Neighborhood colors — For some people, the colors of homes near them affects their choice of siding color.
- Surrounding landscape — Beyond the property garden, what colors do you see? Are you in an urban, suburban or rural area? Taking a keen look at the surrounding landscape can assist you in matching a color that makes you happy.
- Taking photographs of your home from different vantage points — Taking a close look at the shape and colors that surround your home and property gives you a designer’s view of choosing an attractive color. Those photographs can be an important part of your design planning if you choose to consult a color specialist.
