Summer is the prime season for exterior upgrades in Maryland, and siding replacement is leading the way. More than just a protective layer, modern siding plays a crucial role in enhancing your home’s curb appeal, improving energy efficiency, and increasing its resale value. With today’s expanded options in materials, textures, and colors, homeowners across Columbia, Ellicott City, and surrounding communities are embracing fresh, eye-catching designs. At Odyssey Home Remodeling, we’ve rounded up the top siding trends transforming Maryland homes this summer.
Many Maryland homeowners are opting for fiber cement siding that mimics the look of real wood but without the demanding upkeep. This material resists moisture, insects, and fading, making it a long-lasting choice in our Mid-Atlantic climate. Horizontal lap siding with a subtle woodgrain finish is especially popular in warm taupe, driftwood gray, and sand tones that complement both classic and contemporary architecture.
Vertical siding—especially board-and-batten—is having a moment. Once a farmhouse staple, this design has gone mainstream thanks to its clean lines and modern vibe. Homeowners are using it as a full-siding option or a stylish accent for dormers and gables. Deep tones, such as charcoal, iron gray, and navy, are especially popular, often paired with white trim for a sharp, sophisticated contrast.
Vinyl siding remains a popular choice due to its affordability and low maintenance requirements. However, today's designs are anything but basic. Many homeowners are opting for deeper, more vibrant colors such as forest green, slate blue, and smoky gray. These rich tones enhance curb appeal and are available in energy-efficient vinyl siding options, providing better insulation during hot summer months.
A major trend this summer is combining various siding styles and materials. Horizontal panels might be paired with vertical board-and-batten, or siding may be accented with stone veneer around entrances or foundations. This layered look adds depth and personality to any home, helping it stand out in the neighborhood.
Color palettes are trending toward natural, earthy hues that reflect the outdoors. Shades like clay, almond, and soft beige are in high demand, offering a timeless appeal that harmonizes beautifully with Maryland’s lush landscapes.
