Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our siding services
How long does siding installation typically take?
The timeline for siding installation depends on the size of your home and the type of siding being installed. For an average-sized home (2,000-2,500 square feet), vinyl siding installation typically takes 1-2 weeks. Fiber cement siding may take slightly longer due to the material's weight and installation requirements. Weather conditions can also affect the timeline. During your consultation, we'll provide a more specific timeframe based on your project's scope.
What's the difference between vinyl siding and fiber cement siding?
Vinyl Siding:
- More affordable upfront cost
- Lightweight and easier to install
- Low maintenance with no painting required
- Typically lasts 20-30 years
- Can be susceptible to damage from extreme weather
Fiber Cement Siding (James Hardie):
- Higher upfront cost but greater longevity
- Extremely durable and resistant to weather, fire, and pests
- Authentic wood appearance
- Typically lasts 50+ years with proper maintenance
- Requires repainting every 7-15 years depending on the product
We can help you determine which option best suits your needs, preferences, and budget during our consultation.
Do I need to remove my old siding before installing new siding?
In most cases, we recommend removing old siding before installing new siding for several reasons:
- It allows us to inspect and address any underlying structural issues or water damage
- It ensures proper installation of weather barriers and insulation
- It provides a smoother, more professional finished appearance
- It prevents potential moisture problems between old and new siding layers
However, in some situations, it may be possible to install new vinyl siding over existing siding. We'll assess your specific situation during our inspection and recommend the best approach.
How much maintenance does siding require?
Maintenance requirements vary by siding type:
Vinyl Siding: Very low maintenance. Occasional cleaning with a garden hose and mild soap solution is typically all that's needed. No painting required.
Fiber Cement Siding: Low to moderate maintenance. Requires cleaning and may need repainting every 7-15 years depending on the product and your climate.
Wood Siding: Higher maintenance. Requires regular inspection, cleaning, staining or painting every 3-7 years, and potential repairs for any damaged sections.
Metal Siding: Low maintenance. Occasional cleaning and inspection for any loose fasteners or damaged sections.
We recommend annual inspections for all siding types to catch and address any issues before they become significant problems.
Will new siding improve my home's energy efficiency?
Yes, new siding can improve your home's energy efficiency, especially when installed with proper insulation and weather barriers. Benefits include:
- Reduced air infiltration through walls
- Better thermal performance, especially with insulated siding options
- Elimination of gaps and cracks that allow heat transfer
- Improved moisture management
For maximum energy efficiency, we recommend installing house wrap and considering insulated siding options. During our consultation, we can discuss specific energy-efficient solutions for your home.
