FAQs
What exactly is composite siding and how is it different from traditional wood or vinyl siding?
Composite siding is a manufactured cladding made from a blend of materials—typically wood fibers, recycled plastics, and binding resins—pressed and formed under high heat and pressure. Unlike wood, it is not susceptible to rot, termites, or warping, and it carries a Class A fire rating. Compared with vinyl, composite boards are thicker, stronger, and offer a more realistic wood-grain appearance while providing superior impact resistance and better insulation values.
How does composite siding perform in Cowan’s climate?
Cowan experiences hot, humid summers, cool winters, and frequent rain. Composite siding is engineered to handle these swings: it resists moisture absorption, so it will not swell, crack, or delaminate; factory-applied finishes include UV inhibitors that protect color from fading in strong sun; and the material remains stable during freeze-thaw cycles, preventing the gaps and buckling sometimes seen with wood. That means year-round protection with minimal upkeep no matter what the local weather throws at it.
What style and color options are available, and can the siding be painted later?
Our composite siding lines come in lap, shingle, board-and-batten, and vertical panel profiles, plus trim and soffit pieces for a seamless finish. More than 20 factory colors are offered, ranging from classic whites and earth tones to bold contemporary hues. If your design vision changes down the road, the boards can be field-painted with a high-quality 100 % acrylic exterior paint after a simple cleaning and light scuff-sand, giving homeowners full flexibility for future updates.
How long does installation usually take for an average home in Cowan, and what is the process?
A typical 2,000-square-foot single-story home requires about 4–6 working days from tear-off to final inspection, depending on architectural complexity. Our crew begins by removing old siding, inspecting the sheathing, and repairing any damaged substrates. Next comes a weather-resistant barrier, flashing around windows and doors, and then the composite panels or planks are installed with stainless fasteners per manufacturer specs. Finally, we seal joints, install trim, and perform a thorough clean-up. All work complies with Franklin County building codes, and we handle permitting and the final city inspection for you.
What kind of maintenance and lifespan should I expect?
Composite siding is designed for a service life of 30–50 years, backed by a 30-year limited manufacturer warranty on both material and finish. Maintenance is simple: rinse with a garden hose once or twice a year, use a soft brush for stubborn dirt, and inspect caulked joints every few years to touch up as needed. No painting, staining, or insect treatments are required, saving you both time and long-term costs compared with traditional wood.
How much does composite siding cost in the Cowan area and are financing options available?
Installed costs generally range from $8 to $12 per square foot, depending on profile, color choice, and home complexity. That means a 2,000-square-foot exterior can run between $16,000 and $24,000, but every project is custom-quoted after an on-site measurement. We offer 0 % financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months through our lending partners, and we’ll guide you through any applicable TVA energy-efficiency rebates that could offset part of your investment.
