Exterior Siding

We chose Hardiplank® siding because of its combination of durability, low maintenance, and price.  The siding on the first floor is 10-inch instead of the traditional 6-inch siding as it saved a little money and seemed to fit the scale of the house better.  The second floor has shingle-style siding in a straight-edged panel.  The combination is quite striking - see for yourself:

The front facade with the combined sidings installed.  Quite striking, we think!
The siding really fits the style of the house and should provide us with years of low-maintenance beauty!
