FAQs
What advantages does fiber-cement siding offer over traditional wood or vinyl in Harrison’s climate?
Fiber-cement siding combines the look of painted wood with the durability of masonry. It resists rot, insects, and warping far better than wood, and unlike vinyl it won’t crack or melt in Harrison’s wide temperature swings. Its Class A fire rating and high wind resistance (up to 130 mph with proper fastening) make it ideal for the Ozark Mountain storm season.
How long can I expect fiber-cement siding to last and what kind of warranty is available?
Manufacturers rate fiber-cement panels for 30–50 years of service life. Our preferred brand carries a 30-year transferable, non-prorated product warranty plus a 15-year finish warranty on factory-applied color. Proper installation and periodic repainting can easily push life expectancy past 40 years.
What is the typical installation timeline for a standard single-family home in Harrison?
A 2,000 sq ft residence usually takes 7–10 working days from tear-off to final inspection, depending on weather and trim complexity. This includes house-wrap installation, flashing at windows and doors, siding placement, caulking, and touch-up painting. Our crews follow local building codes and schedule city inspections at the mid-sheathing and final stages.
Does fiber-cement siding require much maintenance once it’s on my home?
Maintenance is minimal. Rinse annually with a garden hose, inspect caulked joints every two years, and repaint every 12–15 years (or when the factory finish shows wear). Unlike wood, you won’t need to sand, scrape, or treat for termites.
How does the cost of fiber-cement siding compare to other materials?
Installed cost in Harrison averages $8–$11 per square foot—about 25 % more than vinyl but 15 % less than brick or natural stone. While the upfront price is higher than vinyl, lower maintenance and longer lifespan often make fiber-cement the better long-term value, increasing resale value by roughly 78 % of project cost according to regional Remodeling Cost vs. Value reports.
Is fiber-cement siding environmentally friendly and safe?
Yes. It’s composed of Portland cement, sand, cellulose fibers, and water—no urea formaldehyde or PVC. Manufacturing uses recycled content, and panels are non-combustible, improving fire safety. At end of life, siding can be crushed for use as inert fill rather than going to a landfill as hazardous waste.
