Exterior Siding Materials

Choosing the right exterior siding for your construction project involves considering functionality – how it sheds water and protects from adverse weather – cost, ease of installation and upkeep, beauty, and architectural appropriateness. Tague Lumber’s experienced salespeople can point out the advantages of various types of exterior siding materials and styles to help you complete your job on time and on budget.

Exterior Siding Materials for Performance & Curb Appeal

Choosing the right exterior siding materials is one of the most important decisions in any construction or renovation project. Siding must protect the structure from moisture, wind, and temperature extremes while also delivering long-lasting beauty and architectural character.

Contractors throughout the greater Philadelphia area rely on Tague Lumber for high-quality siding products that perform in the Mid-Atlantic climate. From traditional cedar siding to specialty exterior cladding systems, we help builders select materials that balance durability, cost, ease of installation, and design appeal.


Cedar & Wood Siding

Tague Lumber is especially known for its premium cedar siding and wood siding products. Natural wood siding offers timeless character, strong weather resistance, and excellent insulation properties. Available in a variety of profiles and grades, cedar siding remains a preferred choice for both traditional and contemporary homes.

Our team can guide you through profile selection, finishing options, and installation considerations to ensure your siding project stays on schedule and on budget.


Specialty & Engineered Siding Products

In addition to wood siding, we offer a wide range of exterior siding materials designed for low maintenance and long-term performance. These specialty siding products provide enhanced resistance to moisture, insects, and weather exposure while maintaining strong visual appeal.

Because each project has unique requirements, our experienced sales staff works closely with contractors to compare material performance, warranty coverage, and lifecycle costs.


Siding Materials for New Construction & Renovation

Whether you are completing new construction or updating an existing property, selecting the right siding products improves energy efficiency, enhances resale value, and strengthens curb appeal.
