FAQs
What makes fiber-cement siding a smart choice for homes in Collegedale?
Fiber-cement siding combines Portland cement, sand, and cellulose fibers to create a dense, impact-resistant cladding that resists rot, termites, and fire—key concerns in the Southeast. It delivers the authentic look of wood without the warping or frequent repainting, and its dimensional stability stands up well to Collegedale’s humid summers and occasional winter freezes.
How does fiber-cement siding handle Collegedale’s weather extremes?
The material is engineered to expand and contract very little with temperature swings, so it won’t crack like vinyl or cup like wood. A baked-on factory finish provides excellent UV resistance, while the cement matrix repels moisture, preventing mold growth during humid seasons and offering freeze-thaw durability during cold snaps.
What maintenance does fiber-cement siding require?
Routine care is limited to an annual low-pressure rinse to remove pollen and dust. Every 12–15 years, depending on sun exposure, you may choose to repaint; high-quality factory coatings often carry 15-year color-fade warranties. Unlike wood, there’s no need for frequent caulking for rot prevention or insect treatments.
Can I customize the look and color of my fiber-cement siding?
Yes. Boards, shakes, and panels come in multiple textures—from smooth to cedar-grain—and widths up to 12 inches. Choose factory-applied ColorPlus® finishes in dozens of shades, or order primed boards and have our crew apply any custom paint on site. Trim pieces and soffits are available in matching or contrasting colors for a cohesive design.
What is the typical installation timeline and process?
A standard 2,000-sq-ft home in Collegedale takes 5–7 working days. We start by removing old siding, inspecting the sheathing, and installing a weather-resistive barrier. Next, our certified installers blind-nail the fiber-cement boards, flashing all joints and penetrations, then seal with high-performance caulk. Finally, we perform a cleanup and walk-through to ensure complete homeowner satisfaction.
Does fiber-cement siding improve energy efficiency and resale value?
While the boards themselves don’t add significant R-value, we install a continuous house-wrap and optional foam sheathing, reducing air leaks and boosting overall efficiency. National remodeling studies show fiber-cement siding recoups 60–70% of its cost at resale, and many insurance carriers offer discounts because the product is non-combustible—enhancing both comfort and home value.
