FAQs
What are the key benefits of choosing fiber-cement roofing and siding for my Benton property?
Fiber-cement combines the durability of cement with the flexibility of cellulose fibers, giving you a product that is fire-resistant, insect-proof, rot-proof, and highly impact-resistant. In Benton’s humid summers and storm-prone spring seasons, those qualities translate into longer service life (typically 40–50 years), lower maintenance, and better protection against moisture-related issues than wood, vinyl, or traditional asphalt alternatives.
How does fiber-cement perform in Benton’s climate compared with other materials?
Benton’s climate delivers hot, humid days, occasional hail, and heavy rain. Fiber-cement resists warping, swelling, and fungal growth that often plague wood products in high humidity. Unlike vinyl, it won’t become brittle in temperature swings or melt near grilling stations. Its Class A fire rating also provides extra peace of mind during the dry, windy periods common in late summer.
Will fiber-cement roofing or siding add value to my home?
Yes. National remodeling studies show that fiber-cement siding consistently returns 60–70 % of its cost in resale value. Buyers recognize its low upkeep, long warranty, and premium curb appeal. In Benton’s competitive market, a home with fresh fiber-cement cladding or roofing often commands a higher selling price and sells faster than comparable homes with aging vinyl or wood exteriors.
How much maintenance is required?
Maintenance is minimal. A once-a-year rinse with a garden hose or low-pressure washer removes surface dust and pollen. Re-caulking joints and repainting may be needed every 12–15 years, far less frequently than wood, which typically requires painting every 4–5 years. Fiber-cement’s color-through options or factory-applied baked-on finishes can reduce repainting needs even further.
Is fiber-cement environmentally friendly?
Fiber-cement is made from sustainable raw materials: sand, Portland cement, cellulose fibers, and water. It is free of vinyl chloride and formaldehyde, and its long life cycle reduces replacement frequency and landfill waste. Many manufacturers also incorporate post-industrial recycled content and follow ISO-14001 environmental management standards, making it a greener choice for Benton homeowners.
What should I expect during installation and how long does it take?
A typical single-family home siding project in Benton takes 5–7 working days, while a full re-roof with fiber-cement tiles or panels usually spans 7–10 days. Our certified crews start with a detailed inspection, remove existing cladding or shingles, install a weather-resistant barrier, flashing, and ventilation components, then attach fiber-cement boards or tiles with corrosion-resistant fasteners. We finish with caulking and touch-up paint, perform a thorough site cleanup, and provide a walk-through to review warranty coverage and maintenance tips.
