Why Choose Vinyl Siding in Iowa City?

Low maintenance

No scraping or painting. A rinse with a garden hose is usually all it takes to keep vinyl looking good.

Weather resistant

Vinyl resists peeling, cracking and warping through humid summers and icy winters, and it won't rot.

Affordable and long-lasting

Vinyl costs less up front than wood or fiber cement and is backed by a limited lifetime material warranty.

Wide color selection

From classic whites and neutrals to deep blues and wood tones, there's a color for every style of home.

Vinyl Siding Colors

Available colors include:
  • Whites and neutrals: White, Vintage Cream, Sand, Linen, Wicker, Heather
  • Browns and wood tones: Brownstone, Natural Cedar, Soft Maple, Toasted Almond, Cocoa, Pebble Clay
  • Grays: Harvard Slate, Flagstone, Sterling, Storm, Weathered Gray, Rockslide
  • Blues and greens: Blue Gray, Wedgewood, Midnight Surf, Cypress, Tree Moss, Shamrock
Colors on a screen never match the real thing, so we bring physical samples to your estimate. Look at them on your own walls in daylight, next to your roof and trim.

Window and Door Wraps

We recommend wrapping window and door trim when we install vinyl siding. It gives your home a clean, finished look, protects the wood trim underneath and helps seal out drafts and moisture.

Caring for Vinyl Siding

  • Rinse it once or twice a year with a garden hose, working from the top down.
  • For stubborn dirt or mildew, use a soft brush and a mild household cleaner.
  • Avoid high-pressure washing aimed upward, which can drive water behind the panels.
  • Keep grills and other heat sources away from the walls.

Vinyl Siding Warranty

Our vinyl siding carries a limited lifetime material warranty against rotting, peeling, flaking, corroding, blistering, splitting and chipping, and against excessive or uneven fading. Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers the installation. Both are transferable once.

Installed to Last

Even the best vinyl underperforms if it's installed badly. See how we handle house wrap, flashing and fastening on our siding installation in Iowa City page, or, if your current siding is worn out, read about siding replacement in Iowa City.

FAQs – Vinyl Siding in Iowa City

Is vinyl siding a good choice for Iowa winters?

Yes. Installed correctly, with room for the panels to expand and contract, vinyl handles Iowa's freeze-thaw cycles well.

Will vinyl siding fade?

All siding fades a little over many years. Our material warranty covers excessive or uneven fading.

Can I see color samples before I decide?

Yes. We bring samples to your free estimate so you can see them on your home.

Can one damaged panel be replaced?

Usually, yes. See our siding repair in Iowa City page for how we match and replace damaged sections.

Does vinyl siding need painting?

No. The color runs through the material, so it never needs painting.
