Siding Contractor in The Colony, TX
Different Roofing is a siding contractor in The Colony, TX that installs, replaces and repairs siding on homes across Dallas–Fort Worth. We put up full siding installations in James Hardie fiber cement, including HardiePlank lap siding, vinyl, LP SmartSide and metal, and we fix the siding that hail, wind and roof leaks damage. Because we are roofers, we pay special attention to the places siding fails most: where a wall meets the roof, around windows, and along the bottom edge where water collects.
Many homeowners searching for siding companies near me only need one or two walls fixed after a storm. Others want the whole house re-sided. We handle both, and we can do the roof, gutters, windows and paint on the same project so the whole exterior is finished at once.

HardiePlank and Hardie Board Siding
Fiber cement is the siding we recommend most often in North Texas. James Hardie siding is made from cement, sand and wood fibers, so it does not rot, termites cannot eat it, and it will not melt or warp in the summer heat. It holds paint well, stands up to hail better than most siding, and looks like painted wood lap siding from the street.
Hardie board siding and HardiePlank lap siding are only as good as the installation. The boards need the right clearance above the roof and the ground, the joints and butt ends need to be flashed, and the cut edges need to be sealed and painted. Our James Hardie siding installation follows those details on every wall, because that is where fiber cement jobs go wrong. Hardie siding is ready for paint, and we can paint it in the color you choose; see house painting.
Vinyl, LP SmartSide and Metal Siding
- Vinyl siding. A low-maintenance choice that never needs paint. Vinyl is a good fit for budget-conscious full replacements, sheds and detached garages. It can crack in a hard hailstorm, so damaged panels are swapped out piece by piece.
- LP SmartSide. An engineered wood siding that is lighter than fiber cement and comes in long lengths with a wood-grain texture. It is a strong option for homes and outbuildings where you want the look of wood with treated protection against rot and termites.
- Metal siding. Steel and aluminum siding for homes, shops and barns. Because we also install metal roofing, we can match metal walls and a metal roof on the same building.
At your free estimate we look at your house, your budget and how long you plan to stay, and we help you pick the material that makes sense.
Hail and Wind Damage to Siding
When hail hits DFW, siding takes damage along with the roof. Fiber cement can chip or crack at the corners, vinyl can crack or get holes punched through it, and metal siding dents. Strong winds can also pull loose panels off a wall. Hail damage siding repair often gets overlooked because homeowners focus on the roof.
We inspect the siding, trim, gutters and windows along with the roof, document the damage with photos, and meet your insurance adjuster at the property so nothing is missed. Then one crew repairs the roof and the siding together. Learn more about storm and hail damage repair.
Siding Repair or Siding Replacement?
Not every house needs new siding. Siding repair makes sense when the damage is limited to a few boards, a corner, or one wall, and the rest of the siding is in good shape. We cut out the damaged pieces, fix any rotted sheathing behind them, and install matching boards.
Siding replacement is usually the better value when:
- Rot or swelling shows up on several walls, not just one spot.
- The old siding is a discontinued product that cannot be matched.
- Paint will not hold because the boards keep absorbing water.
- Hail or wind damaged most sides of the house.
We will tell you which one your house needs, and why, before you spend money on either.
New Siding With a Roof Replacement
The most common siding rot we find is where a second-story wall, dormer or chimney chase sits on the roof. If the siding touches the shingles, or the flashing behind it is missing, the bottom boards soak up water every rain and rot from the bottom edge.
A roof replacement is the best time to fix it, because the old shingles and flashing are already off. We remove the rotted siding, repair the sheathing, install house wrap and new flashing where the wall meets the roof, and install new siding with a gap above the shingles so it can stay dry. Doing both at once means one crew, one schedule and a cleaner finish where the roof and walls meet.
Free Estimates and Financing
Siding is priced on the size of the walls, the material you pick, how much rot is behind the old siding, and the trim and paint needed, so we start with a free inspection and written estimate. Financing is available, as low as 0%. We are Licensed & Insured, and se habla español.
