FAQs
What exactly is composite siding and how is it different from traditional wood or vinyl siding?
Composite siding is an engineered cladding made by bonding wood fibers, recycled plastics, and durable resins under high heat and pressure. The result is a dense, dimensionally stable board that mimics the appearance of real wood but resists warping, cracking, and insect damage far better than natural lumber. Compared with vinyl, composite siding offers a thicker profile, deeper wood-grain embossing, and greater impact resistance while still requiring very little maintenance.
Is composite siding a good choice for the Sweetwater climate?
Absolutely. Sweetwaterâs hot summers, sudden temperature swings, and occasional severe storms demand a siding product that can handle thermal expansion, heavy rain, and high winds. Composite panels are formulated with UV inhibitors to prevent fading under intense West Texas sun, and their moisture-resistant core will not swell or rot during humid spells or driving rain. Many brands are rated to withstand 120-mph wind loadsâwell above what Sweetwater typically encountersâmaking composite siding a reliable year-round envelope.
How long does a typical composite siding installation take, and will my daily routine be disrupted?
For an average single-story Sweetwater home of 2,000 square feet, installation usually runs 4â6 working days from start to final cleanup, assuming no structural repairs are required. Our crew removes old cladding, installs a weather-resistant barrier, flashes windows and doors, and then fastens the new composite boards. We schedule deliveries and debris removal to minimize driveway blockage. You can stay in your home throughout the projectâutilities remain on and interior spaces are unaffected. We simply ask that pets be kept clear of work areas for safety.
What maintenance will I need to perform after the new siding is up?
Composite siding is considered low-maintenance. An annual garden-hose rinse or a light, soapy pressure-wash at under 1,500 psi removes dust and pollen common in Sweetwaterâs windy spring season. Inspect caulking around penetrations each year and touch up as needed with a high-quality exterior sealant. Factory-finished panels hold their color 20â30 years; if you ever want to repaint for aesthetic reasons, standard 100% acrylic latex paint adheres well. Unlike wood, you will never have to scrape, sand, or re-stain.
How long does composite siding last and what kind of warranty can I expect?
Most leading manufacturers rate composite siding for a 30â50 year service life. Products we install carry a limited lifetime warranty against structural defects plus a 15- to 25-year finish warranty against excessive fading, peeling, or blistering. Our Sweetwater roofing & siding team adds a 5-year workmanship guarantee, so if any board loosens or a seam separates due to installation error, we fix it at no charge.
Is composite siding more expensive than other options, and how can I budget for the project?
Up-front, composite typically sits between premium vinyl and fiber-cement pricingâroughly $8â$12 per installed square foot in the Sweetwater market, depending on profile and finish. While that is higher than basic vinyl, compositeâs longer life, lower repainting costs, and potential energy savings (from better insulation and tight sealing) narrow the true cost gap over 20â30 years. Our team provides free on-site measurements, a detailed line-item quote, and financing options with payments as low as $95 per month, allowing you to spread the investment over time with no prepayment penalties.
