Things People Ask Us
Do you need a permit for siding replacement?
Most areas require a building permit for full siding replacement since it affects the exterior envelope. Repair work covering just a few panels usually does not need one.
How long does siding installation take?
An average-sized home takes 1-2 weeks for full siding replacement including tearoff. Smaller repair jobs covering a few panels can often be completed in a single day.
Does new siding improve energy efficiency?
New siding with proper insulation backing can reduce heating and cooling costs by 10-20%. The insulation layer behind the siding matters more than the siding material itself.
Will insurance cover siding damage from storms?
Storm damage is usually covered under homeowner's insurance policies. Document the damage thoroughly with photos and file a claim before starting any repair work.
Is fiber cement siding worth the extra cost?
If you plan to stay in the home long-term, fiber cement is a strong investment. It outlasts vinyl by 10-20 years and resists fire, rot, termites, and impact damage.
