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.
This Midlothian homeowner originally reached out to Retex in October 2023 for a roof repair for a leak in her kitchen as well as a roof replacement estimate. RETEX’s Andy Connor met with her, gave her both quotes, and we repaired her roof. She reached back out to Andy in March 2024, ready to move forward with RETEX on replacing her roof.
If your siding is 20+ years old, it’s worth getting a pro to assess it, even if it looks okay. Hidden issues can lurk beneath the surface.

Always get detailed, apples-to-apples quotes so you know exactly what’s included (tear-off, underlayment, warranties, disposal, etc.) to avoid surprise costs or a roof replacement that’s not up to state code requirements.
This story began in April 2022, when a neighbor with many hats – a fellow Surreywoodian, a local pastor, and owner of an auto mechanic shop – reached out to RETEX’s Josh Lewis and Mark Erickson to assess his church’s roof and siding after experiencing hail damage.
