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.
LP SMART SIDE
For Exterior Siding that stands up to the elements and lasts for decades, ask Alpine Exteriors about LP smart side. This unique durable engineered wood siding requires very little maintenance and can provide the wood look you’ve been after.

Draper’s microclimate—stronger canyon winds, higher UV, and fast swing temps—demands an exterior that’s as tough as it is beautiful. Alpine Exteriors LLC designs and installs climate-smart siding systems that protect your home from moisture, sun, and wind uplift while elevating curb appeal. From full tear-offs and substrate repairs to fiber-cement, premium vinyl, and engineered wood accents, our crews deliver crisp lines, watertight details, and finishes that stay sharp for years.
Draper homes on the east bench and up toward SunCrest sit higher and take more wind and sun than the valley floor, and that is hard on older glass. When the seals fail, drafts creep in and heating bills climb. Replacing one window at a time never quite fixes it, so we replace every window in the home in a single project.
We recommend triple-pane glass with Low-E coating and argon fill for most Draper homes, and our low overhead means triple-pane is often priced close to other companies' double-pane. You choose vinyl, composite or wood frames, and we walk you through options in your own home with samples in hand.

A top choice on Draper’s east bench, fiber-cement resists fire, rot, and insects while maintaining tight lines and paint retention. Factory color finishes offer excellent fade protection under high UV. Choose smooth modern lap for contemporary architecture, wood-grain lap for traditional warmth, and board-and-batten or staggered shakes for gables and focal areas.
Modern, thicker-gauge vinyl stands up to warping and chalking and now includes color tech that resists sun fade. Insulated vinyl adds R-value and quiets road noise. Profiles run from classic lap to vertical panels for modern farmhouse looks—an efficient upgrade when you want low upkeep without sacrificing style.
Engineered wood combines the look of natural timber with moisture-resistant binders and factory priming. It’s ideal for board-and-batten accents, shake details, and mixed-material façades (stone + composite) that give Draper homes a refined mountain-modern feel.
An exterior lasts only as long as the weatherproofing behind it. We build durable wall systems with:
Mix horizontal lap on the field with vertical board-and-batten on gables for depth. Wider trim (5/4 x 4 or 5/4 x 6) sharpens shadow lines, and soffit/fascia packages finish the roof edge with clean geometry.
Choose fade-resistant mid and deep neutrals—charcoals, pewters, cedar tones, desaturated blues/greens—then pair with crisp white or natural-wood accents. We’ll place full-size samples on your elevation so you can compare morning vs. late-day light.
Add powder-coated metal panels, cedar-look accents, or black window trim for a mountain-modern palette that’s popular across Draper—and engineered to last.
Pair siding with insulated sheathing, balanced attic ventilation, and high-performance windows to reduce drafts, quiet outside noise, and stabilize temperatures. Many Draper clients report noticeably quieter interiors and lower energy bills after a proper envelope upgrade.
We don't do spot repairs, single-window swaps or one-wall siding patches. Every project we take on in Draper is a full replacement: every window in the home, the siding on every side of the house, or a complete roof tear-off. Partial work leaves new and old materials aging side by side, and it rarely fixes the problem that made you call in the first place. If your home has hail or wind damage, we'll look at the whole exterior with you and tell you honestly whether a full replacement makes sense.
We come to your home in Draper with product samples, measure the whole project and walk you through pricing options and recommendations, with no high-pressure sales. Your proposal is grouped by product, so you can compare window, siding and roofing options side by side and choose what fits your home and budget.

Q1: What siding performs best against Draper’s wind and sun?
A: Fiber-cement and thicker-gauge, wind-rated vinyl excel when installed to spec with correct fasteners and starter systems. Engineered wood also performs well when rainscreened and properly flashed. We’ll recommend based on your exposure, design goals, and budget.
Q2: Do you do partial siding jobs or single-window replacements?
A: No. We only take on full replacement projects: every window in the home, siding on the whole house, or a complete roof. Replacing one wall or one window leaves new and old materials aging side by side and rarely fixes the underlying problem. If you're not sure what your home needs, we'll look at the whole exterior during a free assessment and give you an honest answer.
Q3: How long will my project take?
A: Most single-family Draper homes wrap in 7–14 working days, depending on scope, weather, and custom details (gables, shake accents, metal trims). You’ll receive a day-by-day plan and status updates throughout.
