Siding at Elevation
The Right Siding Starts
With Where You Live
Siding at 8,000 feet has a harder job than siding in Denver. It takes freeze-thaw cycles almost every night from fall through spring, intense high-altitude UV, summer hail, heavy wet snow against the lower courses, and, for a lot of our neighbors, real wildfire exposure.
That's why we don't push one product. A west-facing wall on an open ridge in Divide needs something different than a sheltered cabin wall in the trees near Florissant. We look at the house, the lot, and how you plan to live there, then give you a written recommendation and price for each option that actually makes sense.

Siding Materials Compared for
Colorado Mountain Homes
Here's how each siding type holds up to the things that actually wear siding out in Teller County: fire, hail, sun, and freeze-thaw.
| Material | Typical Lifespan Here | Fire Resistance | Hail Performance | Upkeep | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metal (steel / aluminum) | 40–70 years | Noncombustible | Strongest overall; heavier gauge resists denting best | Low | Wildfire zones, hail-exposed walls, low-maintenance homes |
| Fiber cement | 25–40 years | Noncombustible | Good; very large hail can crack or chip boards | Moderate: periodic repainting | Traditional painted-wood look with fire resistance |
| Engineered wood | 20–30 years | Combustible | Good impact resistance | Moderate: keep painted, edges sealed | Real-wood look at a mid-range budget |
| Vinyl | 15–20 years | Combustible; melts and deforms | Weakest; brittle in cold snaps | Low, but cracked panels need replacing | Tight budgets, sheltered walls, outbuildings |
| Wood & log | 10–15 years before major work | Combustible | Fair; dents and splits | High: restain or reseal every few years | Log homes and cabins where the authentic look matters |

Common Questions
Siding FAQ
What is the best siding for homes in Woodland Park, Colorado?
For most homes in Woodland Park and the surrounding mountains, metal or fiber cement siding is the best fit. Both are noncombustible, handle freeze-thaw cycles, and outlast vinyl and wood at elevation. Metal leads on lifespan (40 to 70 years) and hail resistance; fiber cement is the pick if you want a traditional painted-wood look. The right answer for your home depends on wildfire exposure, hail exposure, and budget, which is what we sort out at a free estimate.
How much does new siding cost in Colorado?
It depends mostly on the material, the size and height of the home, and whether old siding has to come off. Vinyl is the lowest upfront cost, engineered wood and fiber cement sit in the middle, and metal is usually at the higher end upfront but the lowest over the life of the home because it lasts the longest. The only accurate number is a written, itemized estimate after someone has walked your property. Ours are free.
Does Rawson Roofing repair siding or only replace it?
Both. We repair hail dents, cracked or loose panels, rot, and woodpecker damage on every siding type, and we'll tell you honestly when a repair makes more sense than a replacement. See our siding repair page for details.
Can you match my existing siding?
Often, yes. We try to source the same profile, color, and material so repairs blend in. When a product has been discontinued, we'll walk you through the options, such as borrowing panels from a less visible wall or re-siding one full side of the house, before any work starts.
Is siding damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Hail and wind damage to siding is commonly covered, but coverage and deductibles vary by policy. We inspect and document the damage, meet your adjuster on-site, and work with your insurance company so the claim reflects the full scope. Learn more on our storm damage insurance claims page.
Should I sign anything at a siding estimate?
No. Our siding inspections and estimates are free with no obligation. As a rule, never sign a contract or any authorization with a siding or roofing contractor at an estimate unless you're certain you want to hire that company. Take your time and compare.
