FAQs
What exactly is fiber-cement siding and how is it different from vinyl or wood siding?
Fiber-cement siding is a composite cladding made from Portland cement, sand, cellulose (wood) fibers, and proprietary additives that are pressed and cured into durable boards or shingles. Unlike vinyl, it is non-combustible and far more rigid, so it resists hail impact and warping. Compared with wood, it is rot-proof, termite-proof, and holds paint up to two times longer because it doesn’t expand and contract as much with temperature swings. In Jefferson City’s humid summers and freeze-thaw winters, these qualities translate into superior longevity and lower long-term maintenance.
How well does fiber-cement siding stand up to Jefferson City’s climate and severe storms?
Jefferson City experiences hot, humid summers, thunderstorms with hail, and cold winters. Fiber-cement siding is engineered to handle all three challenges: (1) Moisture resistance prevents swelling and rot during humid spells; (2) Non-combustible Class A fire rating provides extra peace of mind during lightning storms; (3) Dense, impact-resistant boards shrug off hail up to 1.75 in. in diameter and resist wind speeds up to 150 mph when properly fastened; (4) Freeze-thaw stability prevents cracking in sub-freezing temperatures. As a result, homeowners typically see service lives of 30–50 years with minimal upkeep.
What kind of maintenance will I need to do after installation?
Maintenance is straightforward: rinse the siding with a garden hose once or twice a year to remove pollen and dust; inspect caulked joints around windows and trim every 3–5 years and re-caulk if gaps appear; repaint every 12–15 years if you choose factory-primed boards, or closer to 20 years if you upgrade to factory-baked-on color (ColorPlus® finish). No pressure-washing, staining, or insect treatments are required, making it less labor-intensive than wood and safer for the finish than harsh cleaning of vinyl.
How long does installation typically take for an average Jefferson City home?
For a 2,000–2,500 sq-ft single-story home, a trained siding crew can usually remove the old cladding, inspect and repair sheathing, add a weather-resistant barrier, and install new fiber-cement boards in 7–10 working days, depending on weather and complexity of trim details. Multi-story homes or projects that include soffit, fascia, or new window trims can add a few extra days. Our Jefferson City-based team handles all permitting and debris disposal, so disruption to your household is kept to a minimum.
Is fiber-cement siding more expensive than other options, and what about long-term value?
Up-front material and labor costs run roughly 10–20 % higher than premium vinyl and can be on par with mid-grade engineered wood. However, because fiber-cement lasts two to three times longer than vinyl or wood and requires fewer repaints, its lifetime cost of ownership is significantly lower. In Jefferson City, local real-estate data show that homes with fiber-cement siding recoup 68–76 % of the project cost at resale, one of the highest returns for exterior upgrades in Mid-Missouri.
