FAQs
What is fiber-cement siding and how is it made?
Fiber-cement siding is a durable exterior cladding composed of Portland cement, sand, cellulose (wood) fibers, and proprietary additives that are pressed and cured into boards or shingles. The cement binds the ingredients, the fibers add tensile strength, and the sand provides stability, producing a panel that mimics the look of painted wood, stucco, or masonry while resisting many of the weaknesses of natural materials.
Why is fiber-cement siding a smart choice for homes in New Market’s climate?
New Market experiences hot, humid summers, occasional storms, and cold, wet winters. Fiber-cement siding is dimensionally stable, so it won’t warp or swell with humidity, and it is non-combustible, offering added fire resistance. It withstands wind-driven rain, hail, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles better than vinyl or wood, and factory-applied finishes resist fading from our region’s strong summer sun. All of this means fewer repairs, longer lifespans, and lower ownership costs for New Market homeowners.
How long does fiber-cement siding last and what maintenance does it require?
Manufacturers back most fiber-cement siding with 30- to 50-year product warranties, and properly installed panels routinely last well beyond that. Maintenance is minimal: rinse the surface with a garden hose once or twice a year, keep gutters clear to avoid splash-back, and caulk any movement joints as needed. Repainting is typically only required every 12–15 years, versus 3–5 years for traditional wood siding.
Will fiber-cement siding improve my home’s energy efficiency and resale value?
While fiber-cement itself is not an insulating material, it pairs well with continuous exterior insulation and house-wraps that we install during the re-siding process, significantly reducing air infiltration. A tighter envelope can lower heating and cooling bills by 10–15 percent. In addition, independent real-estate studies show that upscale fiber-cement re-siding projects recoup 65–85 percent of their cost at resale—a higher return than many other exterior upgrades—making it a wise investment in New Market’s competitive housing market.
Can fiber-cement siding be installed over my existing siding, and what does the installation process involve?
In most cases we remove old siding to inspect sheathing and framing for moisture damage and to install a modern weather-resistive barrier. After repairs, we flash wall penetrations, add optional exterior insulation, and fasten fiber-cement boards or shingles with corrosion-resistant nails. Finally, we touch-up paint, seal joints, and perform a thorough quality check. Installing over sound, flat siding is sometimes possible, but a site visit is required to confirm that it meets manufacturer guidelines and local building codes.
How much does fiber-cement siding cost in New Market, and do you offer financing?
Material and labor for a typical 2,000-square-foot New Market home run between $11 and $15 per square foot, depending on profile, trim details, and whether structural repairs or extra insulation are needed. We provide free written estimates so you know exactly what to expect. To make budgeting easier, we partner with local lenders to offer low-interest financing and same-as-cash promotional plans, and we accept major credit cards.
