FAQs
Why is vinyl siding a good choice for homes in Hixson’s climate?
Hixson experiences hot, humid summers, mild winters, and the occasional severe storm. Vinyl siding is engineered to resist moisture absorption, warping, and rot, making it ideal for humid environments. Modern vinyl panels also feature UV-inhibiting coatings that protect color from intense Tennessee sunshine, and they are flexible enough to withstand wind gusts common during spring and fall storms.
How long does a typical vinyl siding installation take for an average-sized home?
For a single-family residence of 1,800–2,400 sq. ft., installation usually takes 5–7 working days. This timeline includes removal of existing cladding, surface preparation, insulation or house-wrap application, placement of new vinyl panels, trim work, and site cleanup. Projects with structural repairs, custom trim, or multiple stories may require additional days.
Will vinyl siding help lower my energy bills?
Adding insulated vinyl siding or a rigid foam underlayment creates an extra thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer through exterior walls. Homeowners in Hixson typically see 10–15 % savings on heating and cooling costs compared with uninsulated siding. Pairing insulated siding with proper attic ventilation and energy-efficient windows maximizes overall savings.
How do I maintain and clean vinyl siding?
Vinyl siding is virtually maintenance-free. Once or twice a year, rinse panels with a garden hose or a soft-bristle brush and a mild soap solution to remove pollen, dirt, and mildew. Avoid harsh solvents, abrasive pads, and high-pressure washers over 1,500 psi, which can force water behind panels or damage the surface. Inspect caulk lines and trim annually, re-caulking as needed.
Is vinyl siding resistant to hail and wind damage common in the Chattanooga-Hixson area?
Quality vinyl siding rated at least ASTM D3679 can withstand wind speeds up to 110–160 mph when installed per manufacturer guidelines. For hail protection, look for panels with a minimum thickness of .044 in. and an ASTM D7793 impact-resistant certification. While no siding is completely hail-proof, these specifications greatly reduce cracking and denting.
What warranty coverage is available for vinyl siding installations?
Most leading manufacturers offer limited lifetime warranties transferable to the next homeowner. Coverage typically includes fade resistance, manufacturing defects, and sometimes impact resistance. Our Hixson siding team supplements the manufacturer warranty with a 5-year workmanship guarantee, ensuring peace of mind for both product durability and installation quality.
