3 Popular Siding Options for Your Home

As a homeowner, you make a lot of decisions. Should you repair your roof this year? Perhaps you’ll need to replace your pool deck during the summer. One choice you will inevitably have to make is the type of siding on your home. This choice can be based off of affordability, style, durability and more. Here at L&L Contractors, our experience in the field has led us to become experts on all types of siding and their pros and cons.

Vinyl Siding

As one of the most popular siding choices in the nation, many homes across Middle Tennessee have chosen to use vinyl siding on their homes. As a relatively inexpensive option, this siding material requires very little maintenance and is quite durable. In addition, you can purchase vinyl siding that mimics wood siding to match your home exterior without breaking the bank. Because you won’t be dealing with natural wood, you will ever have to deal with insect or pest damage. However, once you choose your vinyl siding color, you are stuck with that color as vinyl siding cannot be painted over. Also, the color can become faded if exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.

Fiber Cement Siding

If you’re looking for a durable and paintable type of siding, then fiber cement siding is ideal for your needs. This type of siding is made from sand, Portland cement, wood fiber and additional materials. If you’re looking to paint your home a specific color, then we recommend fiber cement siding, as this siding material accepts paint quite well. In addition to the several styling options, this material will not be affected by insects and pests. However, this product is typically rather expensive and is quite challenging to install.

Engineered Wood Siding

With homes using wood siding being insanely susceptible to damage and rotting from moisture and pests, the creation of engineer wood siding was designed. This siding option is stable, eco-friendly and also low cost. However, in order to completely prevent moisture from damaging the siding on your home, the engineered wood siding must be painted and maintained throughout the year.

In addition to these three popular siding options, there are several other types of siding that you could implement on your home, such as stucco and metal. At L&L Contractors, we’ll work with you to make sure that you are fully informed on the many siding options you have to choose from. We make sure that you are comfortable with your siding and choice and that you are fully satisfied with your new siding.

Call L&L Contractors today to get started on your siding project this spring. From our professional siding team to our devotion to your project, we’ll meet and exceed your expectations.

Let me just say that Willie, Peter, and Taryn at L&L are absolutely amazing folks. Willie was professional , personable, and beyond patient with me while I was waffling with my roofing decision. And in the end he was able to get me a great deal! Peter, the project manager, was always in communication with me and went above and beyond to make sure my house looked perfect. He even had his employees redo something he wasn’t completely satisfied with that I don’t think any other company would have redone because of the expense. I was going to go with the same old roof colors and I stopped by their office to consult with Taryn who suggested something different. Taryn helped me pick out the perfect colors for my roof and I’ve had at least a dozen people in my neighborhood stop to tell me looks stunning. Do yourself a favor and hire this local contractor-you will not be disappointed! Thank you all again!

We had the pleasure of working with L&L over the past few months, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their work. They completed several projects on my home in College Grove, TN, starting with addressing some issues with my Hardy board siding. As a preferred contractor with James Hardie board, L&L’s Russ Hensley inspected the problem areas and discovered that the original installation by the builder was faulty. Russ and his team reinstalled the James Hardie board correctly. The result was flawless, and they even followed up to ensure I was happy with the work.Later that month, after a hailstorm damaged our roof, I hired L&L again. Brad White coordinated with our insurance adjuster and identified some overlooked issues. The new roof was installed in a single day, which was impressive, and they returned to install new gutters. Brad suggested upgrading to 6-inch gutters, which proved to be a wise choice given the size of our home.The customer service provided by L&L is exceptional, surpassing any I’ve experienced in the industry. They even paired me with a supervisor, Peter, who was well-suited to manage my meticulous nature. Peter went above and beyond to ensure both my wife and I were delighted with the results. Throughout the process, communication via text and email was seamless.My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend L&L for any siding and roofing needs.

From beginning to end L&L was the best company I’ve ever dealt with regarding anything involving my home. Jerome spent so much time before we even hired them listening to us and inspecting our house to help us with our insurance company. After hiring them, he again spent a lot of time walking us through everything and helping us choose colors. He was so kind, patient, and professional! I can’t remember the names of the people in the office that I dealt with, but they were absolutely wonderful as well. Then Peter showed up with his crew to install our new roof. Again, no surprise, he was so kind! They kept us updated every step of the way. I could not possibly be happier with the work and professionalism of L&L!!! I SO appreciate them, HIGHLY recommend them, and would TOTALLY use them again for anything! We are very satisfied customers! Thank you L&L!

Allen Cox and Bernie team went above and beyond expectations on our garage siding replacement project. Upon removal of old siding, we found a lot of wood damage. All damaged wood replaced, building re-wrapped, garage doors, windows totally sealed and weather proofed. I was impressed with workmanship and professionalism and asked for quote to replace my decking. I would highly recommend these guys for your projects.

I would 100% recommend L&L contractors!! I had to have all the siding on my house replaced. I talked with several companies and decided to go with L&L because they took the time to explain the process and go over every detail with me without treating me like I was an idiot. Kyle was amazing with helping me deal with my insurance company from the get go. Allen and his team were awesome and got my siding done efficiently and to the highest standard. Once they started on the project, they kept me up to date along the way and made sure I was ok with any changes that needed to be made to the project. All the workers were very polite and took pride in the work they were doing. Marten and Javier were amazing problem solvers who went above and beyond and even built some custom pieces to go around my outdoor water faucets!My only complaint would be that communication was not great between the time I put down the first part of the deposit and when they actually started on my house. Despite this, I would definitely use their services again if needed.*****UPDATE*****I had an issue with one of the vents that was installed last year by L&L Contractors. I reached out to Allen and he came over within 48 hours and fixed the issue himself. I can not say how much I appreciate the prompt and friendly service as well as the pride these guys take in their work.

Their crew demonstrated remarkable skill and efficiency, completing the job within the promised timeframe and without sacrificing quality. From tearing off the old roof to meticulously installing the new one, it was evident that they took pride in their craft.Moreover, I was impressed by the attention to detail exhibited by L&L.

My husband and I have wanted to update the exterior of our home for years. After speaking to various companies, we decided on L&L Contractors for the job. The final results were amazing, and our neighbors agree. The best thing about the process was our project manager Allan, and our client advisor Jeremy. Allan kept us WELL informed on each step of the process. He welcomed our input, which allowed us to get the results that we had imagined. He made us feel that our satisfaction was most important. He even took the initiative to fix a loose panel on our SUV. Jeremy, our client advisor was with us at the very beginning of the process, and he remained with us to the very end. We consider both men a permanent addition in our lives.

We had a great experience with L&L. Detail oriented and top-notch quality every step of the way. Even with it being a very busy time for them. They also helped discuss the job with our insurance agent making that process go smoothly. Great communication and customer service from Tim Peterson. Would highly recommend working with Russ, Ernie, Tim and Arlene at L&L Contractors.

I am so pleased with My Client Advisor, Ernie from L&L Contractors. I had roof damage this morning from last night's storm. I called at 10:30AM and received an appointment for 1PM the same day AND he even came early. The appointment included a photo and contact information in case I needed to reach him about the appointment. Not only was he prompt, professional and reasonably priced, but I really appreciated Ernie's input regarding the general state of my roof and inspection while he was up there. He even took away the damaged roofing with him. I will definitely reach out to them when I need my complete roof replaced. Laura

L&L Contractors is a professional and top-notch company. Nick and Kyle made the process smooth, communicated well, and were reliable. The work crews were efficient and polite. Fast turnaround with Hardie Siding, Windows, Painting, Drywall, etc. I couldn’t be happier with the new look of my home! 5-Star Company all the way and I would definitely recommend to others and use for future projects!

L and L Contractors replaced our very old, worn out roof yesterday. Their service was top notch from the very first encounter to the final goodbye. Their communication was excellent and very much appreciated. We enjoyed being able to utilize the website to see our balance, our tentative date and other important details very easily. They were very professional and respectful of our property. Our new roof looks beautiful. We will be recommending this company from now on and will definitely use them again in the future.
