Why Siding
Siding is your home’s first line of defense against damaging weather and pests. it’s also one of the most visible parts of your house, so when it fails to do its job, it fails to look the part.
Replacing old siding can seem like a big undertaking, but fortunately, many homeowners only have to do it once. That makes it even more important to do it right the first time, and to address the project before it can lead to other expensive repairs .
If it’s time to replace your siding, consider using a material that’s durable and long-lasting. Alpine Exteriors offer a variety of siding options and styles such as hardie® fiber cement, LP smart side, vinyl (recommend insulated top quality), stucco, soffit and fascia, composite cladding, and other specialty siding options. We can help you explore the options to find the best product for your home and budget.
FIBER CEMENT SIDING
James Hardie is a brand name for the fiber cement siding that is produced by James Hardie building products. It is made up of Portland cement, ground sand, cellulose fiber, and other additives.
This siding can give the look of clapboard and stucco depending upon the texture used. However, it is more durable and fire-resistant. It is costlier than vinyl, but it is less costly than others and requires less maintenance than traditional wood siding.

Nestled between Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons, Cottonwood Heights experiences high UV, canyon winds, blowing snow, and rapid freeze–thaw cycles. Those conditions expose weaknesses in dated cladding, sloppy flashing, and under-ventilated assemblies. Alpine Exteriors LLC designs and installs canyon-ready siding systems—fiber-cement, premium vinyl, and engineered wood/composites—over drainable, flashed-to-spec wall assemblies so your home looks refined, runs quieter, and stays protected year-round.
Fiber-cement thrives along the Wasatch Front: it resists fire, rot, insects, and warping, and holds paint exceptionally well. Factory color finishes deliver fade resistance under bright UV, reducing maintenance. Choose smooth lap for modern lines, wood-grain lap for classic warmth, and board-and-batten or staggered shakes to highlight gables and entries. We pair fiber-cement with corrosion-resistant fasteners and manufacturer-specified sealants to keep reveals crisp.
Best for: Long-term ownership, upscale curb appeal, low maintenance.
Today’s thicker-gauge vinyl resists chalking and deformation and ships with improved pigments that keep color true in high UV. Insulated vinyl adds R-value and reduces outside noise—useful near Wasatch Blvd. Profiles range from classic lap to vertical panels for a clean farmhouse-modern look.
Best for: Budget efficiency, quick installs, minimal upkeep.
Engineered wood provides real-wood character with moisture-resistant binders and factory priming. Installed over a rainscreen with correct flashing, it performs for years with rich texture—ideal for gables, feature walls, and mixed-material façades (e.g., stone + shake, metal + lap) that read mountain-modern.
Best for: Design flexibility, natural-look finishes, high perceived value.
Beautiful cladding lasts only as long as the assembly behind it. We build exteriors that breathe and shed water:
Depth sells. Use horizontal lap on main fields, vertical board-and-batten or shake on gables, and 5/4 trim to sharpen edges and frame openings. Vented soffit improves attic airflow, reducing ice-dam risk; metal fascia protects rafter tails and cleans the roof edge.
Cottonwood Heights’ bright sun and winter snow favor mid-to-deep neutrals (charcoal, pewter, warm taupe, cedar tones) and desaturated blues/greens—paired with crisp whites or natural wood accents. We place full-size samples on your elevation so you can compare hues in morning vs. late-day light and against winter snow before ordering. Factory finishes with fade-resistant coatings keep maintenance low.
Powder-coated metals, fiber-cement trim, engineered-wood shakes, and stone pair well here, creating a timeless mountain-modern palette that stays low-maintenance and buyer-friendly.
Pair your siding project with insulated sheathing, balanced attic ventilation, and high-performance windows to cut drafts and noise and stabilize indoor temperatures. Many clients in Cottonwood Heights report quieter interiors and lower energy use after a proper envelope upgrade—especially noticeable during canyon wind events and cold snaps.
Not every home needs a full replacement. We perform targeted repairs—hail dings, wind-loosened panels, localized moisture—while matching profiles and colors. We’ll document conditions for insurance and complete work to manufacturer standards so warranties remain intact. If a color is discontinued, we propose the closest match and a transition strategy so updates look intentional.
Actual costs depend on home size, elevation complexity, and product lines, but most Cottonwood Heights projects land within these broad ranges:
We’ll bring samples, compare looks and budgets, and map a schedule that respects your timeline and any HOA requirements. Expect tidy work, consistent communication, and results that handle Cottonwood Heights’ toughest seasons.
