Choosing the Right Siding Material for Your Home
Katelyn Lewis • May 15, 2024
How do you pick the right siding for your home?
Here’s our advice:
- Assess durability, considering weather conditions, maintenance needs, and your budget.
- Consider aesthetic preferences, architectural style, energy efficiency, and insulation.
- Seek recommendations from professionals or neighbors.
- Get quotes from reputable contractors (like Retex!) and weigh installation costs.
- Balance all factors to select the optimal siding material for your home.
Are you considering replacing your home’s siding? Call Retex at 804-258-6300 to determine the best options for your specific needs and budget. We’re here to help.

We're so happy we got the chance to hang with our team and their families at our RETEX pool party on Saturday, July 26.
This Fredericksburg homeowner reached out to RETEX in April 2025 looking for a roof replacement quote for a home he was selling by the end of the month.
Josh Lewis is the leader of our mighty team orchestrating our branch management, sales, and production teams while planning for our company’s future growth.
This Fredericksburg homeowner reached out to RETEX in October 2024 for an estimate for replacing his shake roof with natural cedar shakes.
While some of these contractors might be reputable, others — known as “storm chasers” — follow severe weather events, hoping to cash in on vulnerable homeowners.
We will be closed on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, in observance of the holiday.
Online pricing calculators and AI tools are great for ballpark numbers, but they don’t know the local labor market and specific window options for your home.
