Question 1

What type of siding is best for my home?

Accepted Answer

The best siding depends on your priorities including budget, maintenance preference, and aesthetic goals. Vinyl siding offers excellent value, low maintenance, and wide color selection. Fiber cement (James Hardie) provides superior durability, fire resistance, and authentic wood appearance. Engineered wood siding offers natural beauty with better moisture resistance than traditional wood. We assess your home's architecture, exposure, and your preferences to recommend the ideal material.

Question 2

How long does siding installation take?

Accepted Answer

Siding installation timelines vary based on home size, existing condition, and material type. A typical 2,000-2,500 square foot home usually requires 1-2 weeks for complete siding installation. Fiber cement siding may take slightly longer due to more precise installation requirements. Homes requiring significant repair work to underlying sheathing or structural components may extend the timeline. We provide accurate scheduling estimates after our initial assessment.

Question 3

Do you install windows along with siding?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Combining window replacement with siding installation is an excellent approach that saves money and ensures seamless integration. When windows and siding are installed together, we can properly flash and seal window openings for optimal weather protection. This coordination also eliminates the need for siding repairs that would occur if windows were replaced later. We offer high-quality, energy-efficient window options from leading manufacturers.

Question 4

How much does new siding cost?

Accepted Answer

Siding costs vary significantly based on material choice and home size. Vinyl siding typically ranges from $6-$12 per square foot installed. Fiber cement siding runs $10-$18 per square foot for materials and professional installation. Premium options like engineered wood or high-end vinyl can exceed $15-$25 per square foot. Additional costs may include removing old siding, repairing sheathing, and replacing trim. We provide detailed quotes covering all aspects of your project.

Question 5

How long does vinyl siding last?

Accepted Answer

Quality vinyl siding, properly installed, typically lasts 30-40 years or longer with minimal maintenance. Modern vinyl siding is engineered to resist fading, cracking, and insect damage. Higher-grade products with thicker profiles and better UV protection offer even longer lifespans. Fiber cement siding can last 50+ years. We use premium materials from trusted manufacturers and provide proper installation techniques to maximize your siding's lifespan and performance.

Question 6

Will new siding improve my home's energy efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Yes, new siding can significantly improve your home's energy efficiency! Modern siding systems include insulated backing that adds R-value to your walls. Proper installation eliminates gaps and air infiltration points that cause energy loss. We install housewrap and proper flashing to create a complete weather barrier. Many homeowners report noticeable reductions in heating and cooling costs after siding replacement. Energy-efficient windows combined with insulated siding maximize savings.

Question 7

What is the process for siding replacement?

Accepted Answer

Our siding replacement process begins with a thorough inspection of your home's exterior and underlying structure. We remove the old siding carefully, inspect and repair sheathing or framing as needed, and install weather barrier membrane. New siding is then installed following manufacturer specifications with proper flashing at all openings. We install new trim, soffit, and fascia as needed, complete finishing details, and perform thorough cleanup and final inspection.

Question 8

Do you offer siding repairs or only full replacement?

Accepted Answer

We offer both siding repairs and complete replacement services depending on your needs. Minor damage like cracked or missing panels, storm damage repairs, and isolated areas can often be repaired cost-effectively. However, if damage is widespread, siding is severely faded, or underlying issues exist, full replacement may be more economical. We provide honest assessments and recommend the most appropriate solution for your specific situation.

Question 9

What colors and styles are available in siding?

Accepted Answer

Modern siding offers tremendous variety in colors, textures, and profiles. Vinyl siding comes in dozens of colors from classic whites and neutrals to bold modern hues, with profiles including horizontal lap, vertical board-and-batten, Dutch lap, and shake-style options. Fiber cement can be painted any color and offers smooth, wood-grain, and stucco textures. We bring samples and help you visualize different options to choose combinations that enhance your home's curb appeal.

Question 10

What warranty comes with new siding?

Accepted Answer

Siding warranties vary by manufacturer and product line but typically offer excellent coverage. Major vinyl siding brands provide lifetime limited warranties covering materials against manufacturing defects. Fiber cement products often carry 30-50 year warranties. Additionally, True Contracting LLC provides a 2-year workmanship warranty on all installation labor. We register your warranty with the manufacturer and provide complete documentation for your records upon project completion.
