Siding That Works in This Climate

Fort Collins Siding Contractors handles siding repair and siding replacement for homes across Fort Collins and nearby Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Wellington, Laporte, Berthoud and Johnstown. We work on vinyl, wood, fiber cement, engineered wood and older aluminum siding, and we're licensed and insured, with over 10 years in business.

Fort Collins freezes at night and thaws by afternoon for a good part of the year. Water that gets behind a cracked board or into an open seam can freeze and open it further, so a small repair is worth doing before it grows.

Fort Collins also has more than 100 years of hail records. Hail falls a few days in most years, mostly in May and June, and usually lasts minutes. Even a short storm can crack vinyl, dent panels and chip fiber cement.

Whether your house needs a few boards replaced or a whole new exterior, we'll take a look and give you a straight answer, with a real price range instead of "it depends." If you want to read up first, our siding guides explain material choices in plain terms.

Fort Collins Siding Rules and Weather

Siding work here comes with a few local rules and a lot of weather. We state the rules plainly so you know what applies to your house before any work starts.

Fort Collins historic neighborhoods include Laurel School, with homes from the 1870s through the 1930s, Whitcomb Street, with 19th- and early-20th-century homes, and Sheely Drive, with mid-century modern homes. A house 50 or more years old goes through the city's historic review before re-siding, and in the parts of the city the state maps as wildfire interface, the wildfire code comes in once a quarter or more of the walls are re-sided.

Permits, with three exceptions

In Fort Collins, replacing ordinary siding often needs no building permit, as long as the old siding comes off under the state's asbestos and lead paint rules. Three exceptions: new vinyl siding needs a permit and has to go over a fire-rated wall; a house 50 or more years old goes through the city's historic review first; and in the parts of Fort Collins the state maps as wildfire interface, re-siding a quarter or more of the walls brings in the wildfire code.

Historic landmarks

Designated historic landmarks in Fort Collins need the city's approval before siding, windows or paint change.

Freeze-thaw

Fort Collins freezes at night and thaws by afternoon for a good part of the year. Water that gets behind a cracked board or into an open seam can freeze and open it further.

Hail records

Fort Collins has more than 100 years of hail records. Hail falls a few days in most years, mostly in May and June, and usually lasts minutes.

Laporte and the county code

Since January 1, 2026, Larimer County's building code treats all of unincorporated Larimer County, Laporte included, as wildland-urban interface. Re-siding a quarter or more of the walls means fire-resistant siding on the whole house.

Siding Questions We Hear Most

Is it better to repair or replace siding?

Repair is better when the damage is limited to a few pieces and the siding around them is sound; a few panels or boards runs $300 to $1,500. Replace when damage runs across whole walls, water has gotten behind the siding in many places, or matching pieces no longer exist.

Will homeowners insurance cover siding repair?

That's up to your homeowner's policy and your insurance company.

Is it expensive to replace siding on a house?

For a whole house, roughly 1,250 to 2,000 sq ft of wall with tear-off and new trim included, engineered wood siding runs $9,000 to $22,000 and fiber cement runs $15,000 to $30,000.

What is the best siding for a house in Colorado?

The best siding is the one that fits your house and the rules where you live. Fiber cement and engineered wood suit most houses and come in lap and panel styles that take paint well. Inside Fort Collins city limits, new vinyl needs a permit and a fire-rated wall behind it. Where the wildfire code applies, re-siding a quarter or more of the walls brings in that code, and a house 50 or more years old goes through the city's historic review first.
