FAQs
What is composite siding and why should I consider it for my Monteagle home?
Composite siding is an engineered cladding made from a blend of wood fibers, recycled plastics, and proprietary resins compressed under high heat. The result is a panel that mimics the natural look of wood while offering superior resistance to moisture, insects, and warping. For Monteagle homeowners, composite siding provides the rich, Appalachian-style curb appeal many desire without the upkeep headaches that traditional wood can bring in our humid, four-season climate.
How does composite siding perform in Monteagle’s climate of humid summers, heavy rains, and occasional freeze-thaw cycles?
Composite siding’s core resins and water-repellent additives prevent swelling, cracking, and rot that often plague wood and fiber-cement in Monteagle’s moisture-rich environment. Its factory-applied UV-resistant coatings also hold color longer under intense summer sun. During winter cold snaps, composite’s dimensional stability helps it resist the expansion-contraction stresses that can pop nails or create gaps in other materials.
What kind of maintenance will I need to perform on composite siding?
Maintenance is minimal. Once or twice a year, rinse the siding with a garden hose or a soft-bristle brush and mild detergent to remove pollen and dust. No sanding, scraping, or repainting is required for at least 20–25 years because the color is baked into the boards. Inspect caulked joints and flashing annually—routine for any exterior cladding—and touch up only if you notice a gap.
How long does a typical composite siding installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard single-family residence in Monteagle (2,000–2,500 sq. ft.) usually takes 5–7 working days from tear-off to final cleanup, depending on weather and any structural repairs needed. Our crews stage materials in a designated area, use dump trailers to keep debris contained, and perform daily magnetic sweeps for nails. You can stay in your home the entire time; we only ask that pets and children remain clear of the work zone.
Is composite siding an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient choice?
Yes. Many composite brands incorporate up to 95 % recycled content (reclaimed wood fibers and post-consumer plastics) that would otherwise head to landfills. Because composite boards form a tight building envelope when paired with a house-wrap or insulated backer, you can expect improved thermal performance, leading to energy savings of 5–15 % on heating and cooling bills in Monteagle’s variable climate.
What kind of warranty and lifespan can I expect from your composite siding solutions?
We install only premium lines backed by a 30- to 50-year limited manufacturer’s warranty covering rot, delamination, and color fading. Our Monteagle office adds a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers labor and installation-related issues. With basic care, composite siding routinely lasts 40–50 years—outlasting vinyl and matching the lifespan of high-end fiber-cement but with far less maintenance.
