FAQs
What is fiber-cement siding and why is it a smart choice for Fayetteville homes?
Fiber-cement siding is a composite cladding made of Portland cement, silica sand, and cellulose fibers that are pressed into boards or panels and cured for strength. It delivers the rich appearance of painted wood without the vulnerability to rot, termites, or warping. In Fayetteville’s humid subtropical climate, those traits matter: fiber-cement will not swell, crack, or invite insects the way traditional wood can. It is also non-combustible, giving local homeowners extra peace of mind in areas prone to summer heat and grilling season. With a service life of 30–50 years, it offers one of the best long-term values available for exterior siding.
How does fiber-cement siding perform in Fayetteville’s weather conditions?
Our region sees everything from pounding rain and 90-degree humidity to the occasional ice event and hail storm. Fiber-cement siding is engineered to handle it all. It resists moisture penetration, so it will not delaminate or blister after prolonged exposure to rain. The material is rated for winds up to 150 mph and easily stands up to minor hail impacts that can shatter vinyl or dent aluminum. Because it is dimensionally stable, your caulk lines and paint film stay intact through rapid temperature swings from hot summer days to chilly winter nights, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
What design and color options are available with fiber-cement siding?
Today’s fiber-cement systems come in lap (plank) boards, vertical panels, shingle-style shakes, and matching soffit and trim boards. Textures range from smooth modern profiles to deep wood-grain embossing that mimics cedar. Most brands offer factory-applied, baked-on finishes in 20–30 standard colors, each backed by a 15-year color warranty. Prefer a custom palette? Boards can be field-painted any shade you like. These options allow you to complement Fayetteville’s mix of historic bungalows, new craftsman builds, and military-era homes while boosting curb appeal.
How long does installation take and what is the general process?
A typical 2,000-square-foot Fayetteville home takes about 5–7 working days from start to finish. Our certified crew will: 1) remove existing siding and inspect sheathing for hidden damage; 2) install house-wrap or weather-resistive barrier and flashing around windows and doors; 3) fasten fiber-cement planks with stainless or hot-dipped galvanized nails; 4) seal joints with high-performance elastomeric caulk; 5) touch-up paint or apply a full exterior coat if the boards are primed rather than pre-finished. We handle city permits, keep the jobsite clean, and perform a final walkthrough to ensure every seam, trim piece, and paint line meets manufacturer specs—crucial for preserving the full warranty.
What maintenance does fiber-cement siding require compared with other materials?
Routine care is refreshingly light: rinse the walls once or twice a year with a garden hose and soft brush, check caulk lines during that rinse, and repaint every 15–20 years if you opted for field-applied paint (factory finishes usually last even longer). There is no scraping, sealing, or pest treatment needed, unlike wood. Vinyl can fade or crack under UV exposure and freeze-thaw cycles; aluminum can dent and chalk. Fiber-cement skips those headaches while retaining its crisp, freshly-painted look for decades.
How much does fiber-cement siding cost in Fayetteville, and do you offer financing?
Installed costs in the Fayetteville market average $8–$12 per square foot, depending on home size, architectural details, and whether existing siding must be removed. While that is higher upfront than mid-grade vinyl, it is on par with high-end composites and significantly less than brick or stone. Because it lasts longer and boosts energy efficiency, homeowners typically see a 70–85 percent return on investment at resale. We provide free, no-pressure estimates, offer military and first-responder discounts, and partner with local lenders for 0 percent deferred-interest plans up to 18 months or low-interest terms up to 60 months. All projects include a 30-year manufacturer warranty and our transferable 10-year workmanship guarantee.
