FAQs
What is fiber-cement siding and why is it a smart choice for homes in Beersheba Springs?
Fiber-cement siding is a man-made cladding composed of Portland cement, silica sand, water, and cellulose fibers that are pressed and cured into planks, shingles, or panels. For homeowners in Beersheba Springs, it delivers several key benefits: • Moisture & rot resistance – Unlike wood, it will not swell, warp, or decay in our region’s frequent humidity and summer storms. • Fire resistance – Rated Class A, it adds an extra layer of protection in wooded or rural areas where brush and chimney fires are a concern. • Pest resistance – Termites and carpenter bees common to Middle Tennessee cannot damage it. • Dimensional stability – It handles the Cumberland Plateau’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. • Curb appeal – Available in smooth, cedar-grain, board-and-batten, and shingle styles that convincingly mimic real wood while keeping its color longer.
How does fiber-cement siding stand up to Beersheba Springs’ weather extremes of heavy rain, hail, and high winds?
Premium fiber-cement products are tested to withstand winds up to 130 mph and impact from 1.75-inch hail, meeting or exceeding ICC-ES and ASTM standards. The boards are factory-sealed against water intrusion, so they won’t delaminate after days of rain or the dense fog we see on the Plateau. When installed over a proper WRB (weather-resistive barrier) with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners, the siding sheds water while allowing vapor to escape, preventing trapped moisture in wall cavities. That means fewer repairs and a longer service life in our storm-prone climate.
What design options are available and can fiber-cement really look like natural wood?
Absolutely. We carry James Hardie®, Nichiha®, and Allura® lines, offering: • Lap boards in 5¼–8¼-inch exposures, smooth or cedar-grain. • Board-and-batten panels for modern farm-house looks. • Staggered or straight-edge shingles that mimic cedar shakes. • ColorPlus® baked-on finishes in 20+ prefinished colors, or primed boards for custom site painting. • Matching trims, soffits, and fascia to create a seamless exterior envelope. Because the texture is pressed into the material, it holds paint 30–40 % longer than wood while giving the same depth and shadow lines.
What does the installation process involve and how long will my project take?
For an average 2,000 sq ft Beersheba Springs residence the timeline is typically 7–10 working days: 1. Free on-site evaluation and precise measurements. 2. Safe removal and disposal of existing siding, followed by inspection of sheathing and framing. 3. Installation of a code-approved weather barrier, flashing, and window/door pans. 4. Application of trims and corner boards. 5. Hanging fiber-cement planks or panels using manufacturer-specified fasteners and spacing. 6. Touch-up paint or application of your custom color. A dedicated project manager keeps you updated daily, and all crews are insured and trained under OSHA fall-protection standards for steep or elevated sites common in our hilly terrain.
How much does fiber-cement siding cost and are financing or insurance options available?
Installed pricing in Grundy County generally runs $7–$12 per square foot, depending on profile, finish, and the complexity of your home’s architecture. While it is more than vinyl, its longer service life and lower maintenance often make the life-cycle cost equal or better. We partner with GreenSky® to offer 0 % interest plans for 12–18 months and low-APR terms up to 120 months. If storm damage prompted your replacement, we provide photo documentation and work directly with insurance adjusters to maximize your claim, reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
What kind of maintenance and warranty can I expect?
Maintenance is minimal: rinse with a garden hose once a year to remove pollen and dust, inspect caulked joints every two years, and repaint only every 12–15 years if you chose a primed product. James Hardie offers a 30-year non-prorated transferable manufacturer’s warranty on boards and a 15-year warranty on ColorPlus® finishes. Our company adds a 10-year workmanship warranty covering labor, fastener corrosion, and water-intrusion-related repairs, so you have layered protection for decades.
