Choosing the Right Siding for Maine’s Harsh Climate


Homeowners once painted their exteriors but found that paint didn't last as expected. What could save them time and money? Vinyl siding installation might be the solution.


Choosing siding is like selecting a protective jacket for various weather conditions. Siding is a crucial finish for your home and an important design element. When selecting it, consider your home’s style, material characteristics, local climate, and lifestyle.


Climate affects siding choices significantly. In Maine, with extreme weather from hot summers to cold winters, stucco doesn't hold up well. Instead, homes typically feature brick, stone veneer, or vinyl siding, which resist rot and require less maintenance.

Today an assortment of siding materials exists in various designs and colors. The most commonly used materials include wood, aluminum, steel, vinyl and masonry.

Wood siding — adds a stunning aesthetic to any home. With proper treatment, it can resist warping, decay, and insects. For centuries, wood has proven its durability, exemplified by 300-year-old clapboard houses. Commonly used woods include cedar, pine, spruce, redwood, cypress, and Douglas fir, with pine retaining finishes exceptionally well, boosting its value.

Cedar shingles — stunning in natural environments, and if a natural aesthetic is essential to you, cedar shakes could be the perfect choice. Typically, the shakes or shingles are finished in earthy tones, such as browns or grays. This offers a striking appearance with considerably less maintenance compared to clapboard that requires periodic painting.

Vinyl siding —   made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), offers the benefit of no rot or peeling paint, making it popular among consumers. However, it can crack, split, and fade in color over time. Although manufacturers have improved durability, issues persist. Additionally, vinyl may not suit environmentally conscious buyers, as its removal is problematic; burning PVC releases toxins, making it less eco-friendly.
