What Exterior Siding Options Are Available?

Homeowners can choose from several proven siding materials, each suited to Iowa's demanding climate. Central Iowa weather tests any exterior, from hailstorms in spring and summer to freeze-thaw cycles in winter. Selecting the right material matters for both durability and long-term value.


James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding


As a James Hardie preferred contractor, Iowa Roofing & Exteriors installs fiber cement siding engineered specifically for climates like Des Moines. James Hardie products resist moisture, impact, and temperature swings. Fiber cement does not rot, warp, or attract pests, making it a low-maintenance choice for homes in Ankeny, Urbandale, Waukee, and surrounding suburbs.


Vinyl Siding


Vinyl siding remains one of the most popular choices among Des Moines-area homeowners. It is lightweight, available in a wide range of colors and profiles, and requires minimal upkeep. Vinyl can be a practical solution for residential properties looking to refresh curb appeal without an extensive renovation.


Fiber Cement (Non-James Hardie Alternatives)


Beyond the James Hardie line, fiber cement from other manufacturers may suit certain project budgets or architectural styles. Our team can help homeowners evaluate which product fits their home, neighborhood aesthetic, and long-term maintenance goals.
