Melissa Gutilla on Jan 16, 2015I like both ideas. The front looks great. I kinda think the siding is a better idea just because you will have to paint it every so many years. Siding you put it up and are done.Helpful Reply

Ale805628 on Jan 17, 2015I think I like the siding, the past with all the vertical trim is very nice for a statement on your porch, but it would be a lot for the back of the house. Otherwise, nice job!!Helpful Reply

Sue McGee on Jan 17, 2015If it were me I would put up the siding because I like the look of it with the stone. I think painting the existing exterior the same as your deck would be too stark looking against the rock and would overwhelm it. The texture of the siding softens the look of the walls so that the beautiful rock stands out more.Helpful Reply

Rocky26 on Jan 17, 2015Side it. Looks terrible as is, while the rest of the house looks nice. Finishing the siding also will add resale value if you ever decide to sell.Helpful Reply

DeMarie I on Jan 18, 2015Whichever you choose, just be consistent. If you're on a budget, then I would paint the back to match the front. In the long run, siding such as cement board or that has a diamond coating doesn't have to be painted or at least it won't have to be painted as often as the board and baton you have on there now. Good luck.Helpful Reply
