Siding Built for Kansas City Homes

Your home’s siding has a lot to handle. Kansas City weather can bring high winds, hail, freezing temperatures, summer heat, and plenty of moisture throughout the year. When siding starts to show its age, replacement can improve the way your home looks while adding another layer of protection to the exterior.

Great Plains Exteriors is a Kansas City siding contractor providing exterior remodeling, roofing, windows, doors, gutters, decks, and railings. We install a variety of siding products and can help you compare materials, styles, and price points based on your home and your goals.

Why Choose Great Plains Exteriors for Siding?

Siding Is at the Core of What We Do

Siding has been a central part of our business since Great Plains Exteriors was founded in 2012. Our team has completed well over 1,000 remodeling projects, including siding work for residential properties, commercial buildings, multi-family properties, and new construction throughout the Kansas City area with exceptional customer service.

Experience With More Than One Exterior Material

There isn't one siding product that makes sense for every house. We work with vinyl, fiber cement, James Hardie, Foundry shake, ProVia, and other exterior materials, giving homeowners room to compare appearance, durability, maintenance, and budget. Our own wholesale supply operation also gives us extensive experience with the products we install. We have supplier relationships with ProVia and James Hardie, so our recommendations can be based on the needs of the project rather than a single siding option.

One Company for the Rest of the Exterior

Siding rarely exists in isolation. Windows, doors, roofing, gutters, and other exterior features all have a role in how the finished house looks and performs. Great Plains Exteriors provides exterior remodeling services throughout the Kansas City area, including Overland Park and surrounding communities. If your siding project also involves replacement windows, roofing, gutters, or other improvements, our team can coordinate those services as part of the larger home improvement project.

A Remodeling Company That Knows Kansas City

Great Plains Exteriors is a family-owned and operated company with deep roots in the Kansas City construction industry. We work with homeowners on both the Missouri and Kansas sides of the metro and understand the demands that changing Midwestern weather can place on a home's exterior. From an older Kansas City home that needs new siding to a larger exterior remodeling project in Overland Park, we can help you determine which materials and improvements make sense for the property.

Siding Options for Kansas City Homes

Each siding option brings something different to the table, with unique maintenance, durability, insulation, and appearance considerations.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl remains a popular choice for homeowners who want a versatile exterior with relatively low maintenance. Insulated vinyl siding adds another layer of thermal performance and can be worth considering for homes exposed to Kansas City's temperature extremes.

Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement offers a different combination of durability and appearance. It can be made to resemble wood siding while providing resistance to termites and non-combustible construction. James Hardie siding is one of the better-known fiber cement options, with a wide range of colors and textures available.

James Hardie Siding

James Hardie siding gives homeowners a durable fiber cement option with plenty of flexibility for the home's design. Different profiles, textures, and colors make it possible to create anything from a traditional exterior to a more contemporary look.

Engineered Wood and Other Options

Engineered wood siding can provide the look of natural wood with different performance characteristics and maintenance requirements. We can also discuss other siding materials and exterior finishes when a particular product better fits the home's style or the homeowner's priorities.

FAQ

What is the best siding for Kansas City weather?
There isn’t one siding material that is right for every Kansas City home. Fiber cement and high-quality insulated vinyl are both worth considering for homes exposed to large temperature swings. Steel siding can also provide strong resistance to wind, hail, impact, and fire. The home’s design, existing exterior, maintenance preferences, and budget all factor into the decision.
Insulated vinyl siding includes a layer of insulation behind the siding panels, which can improve the exterior’s thermal performance. That can be particularly useful in Kansas City, where homes experience freezing winters and hot summers. Standard vinyl may still be a good fit for homeowners who place a higher priority on upfront cost.
James Hardie is a popular fiber cement siding option known for durability and a wide selection of colors, textures, and profiles. Fiber cement is also resistant to termites and is non-combustible. The best choice still depends on the specific home and what you’re looking for from the siding.
Steel siding is highly resistant to impact and can perform well in areas that experience high winds and severe hail. It also offers strong fire resistance. If storm durability is a major concern, steel can be one of the materials worth comparing with other siding options.
It can. Siding itself is only one part of the home’s insulation system, but insulated siding can improve the thermal performance of exterior walls. Replacement windows, proper insulation, and other improvements may also have a significant effect on heating and cooling costs.

Siding replacement costs vary based on the size of the house, existing siding, material, installation requirements, and other project details. Vinyl, fiber cement, steel, and engineered wood all have different price points. A free estimate is the best way to get a project-specific number.
