Choosing the Right Siding for North Dakota’s Extreme Seasons

From sub-zero winters to hot, dry summers, North Dakota puts exterior building materials through a real test. If your siding is fading, cracking, or letting drafts into your home, it may be time to consider an upgrade. At Simons Homes, we’ve installed durable siding systems for homeowners across Dickinson, Belfield, Killdeer, Bowman, Bismarck, and the surrounding communities for more than 40 years.

Why Siding Matters More in North Dakota

Siding is your home’s first line of defense against wind, hail, moisture, and temperature swings. Old, damaged, or poorly installed siding can allow water intrusion, reduce energy efficiency, and leave your home vulnerable to costly structural damage over time. Choosing the right material — and having it installed correctly — makes a real difference in how well your home holds up season after season.

Vinyl vs. Steel Siding: What’s Right for Your Home?

Simons Homes installs both vinyl and steel siding, and the right choice depends on your home, budget, and priorities:

  • Vinyl siding is a cost-effective, low-maintenance option available in a wide range of colors and styles, offering solid protection against moisture and the elements.
  • Steel siding provides superior durability and impact resistance, standing up especially well to hail and high winds — a common concern in our region.

Our team can walk you through the pros and cons of each so you can choose the option that best fits your home and long-term goals.

Signs You May Need New Siding

  • Warping, cracking, or bubbling panels
  • Fading or chalking color that won’t wash off
  • Increased drafts or higher energy bills
  • Visible moisture damage or mold near seams
  • Loose or missing panels after storms

Built to Last Through North Dakota Winters

As a family-owned company based in Dickinson, we understand exactly what our local climate demands from a siding system. Every installation is completed with careful attention to proper flashing, insulation, and sealing — details that make the difference between siding that lasts decades and siding that fails prematurely.

Whether you need a full siding replacement or repairs after storm damage, our team is ready to help. Contact Simons Homes today for a free estimate.
