FAQs
What exactly is fiber-cement siding and how is it used in roofing & siding applications?
Fiber-cement siding is a composite cladding made from Portland cement, cellulose (wood) fibers, sand, and proprietary additives that are pressed and cured into durable boards, panels, or shingles. It is primarily installed as exterior wall siding, but many Evensville homeowners also use matching fiber-cement trim, soffit panels, and porch ceilings to create a fully integrated roofing–siding envelope. Its density makes it highly resistant to moisture, pests, fire, and impact—key advantages over traditional wood or vinyl products.
Why is fiber-cement siding a smart choice for the Evensville climate?
Evensville sits in a humid subtropical transition zone with hot summers, sudden thunderstorms, and occasional winter freezes. Fiber-cement’s dimensional stability prevents warping during rapid temperature swings. Its Class A fire rating adds peace of mind during drought-prone months, and its resistance to swelling or rotting means heavy rain and humidity will not degrade the boards. In short, the material stands up to every seasonal stress our region throws at it, translating to fewer repairs and longer service life.
How long does installation typically take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A typical single-family home in Evensville requires 5–7 working days for a full tear-off and replacement with new fiber-cement siding (including trim and caulking). Our crews work from 8 AM–5 PM, minimize debris with ground-level catch tarps, and perform a daily magnetic nail sweep. Your utilities remain on, and you can stay in the home throughout the project. We schedule an on-site walk-through at both the start and finish so you’re never left wondering what comes next.
What maintenance does fiber-cement siding need after installation, and how long will it last?
Once installed and factory-painted, fiber-cement siding only needs a garden-hose rinse and mild detergent spot cleaning once or twice a year to remove dust or pollen. Re-caulking of joints is usually required every 10–12 years, and repainting may not be necessary for 15–20 years depending on color choice and sun exposure. With proper care, manufacturers list a 30–50 year expected service life, and many back that up with a transferable limited warranty.
How does the cost of fiber-cement compare to vinyl or wood, and is it worth the investment?
Up-front, fiber-cement runs roughly 20–35 % more than premium vinyl and about the same as high-grade cedar. However, maintenance savings quickly narrow the gap: no sanding, staining, or frequent repainting as with wood, and far fewer hail or wind damage claims than vinyl. According to annual Cost vs. Value reports, Evensville homeowners recoup 70–80 % of the project cost at resale—higher than for most other exterior upgrades—making fiber-cement one of the best long-term values.
Is fiber-cement siding eco-friendly and does it come with a warranty?
Yes. The cement and silica used are abundant natural resources, and the wood fibers are typically sourced from sustainably managed forests. The long lifespan reduces replacement waste, and boards are free of vinyl chloride or formaldehyde. Our preferred manufacturers offer 30-50 year limited product warranties plus 15-year finish warranties on factory colors. We also include a separate 5-year workmanship guarantee, giving Evensville customers multiple layers of protection.
