FAQs
What is composite siding and how does it differ from traditional wood siding?
Composite siding is manufactured from a blend of wood fibers, recycled plastics, and binding resins that are compressed under high heat and pressure. This formulation gives each plank the authentic texture of wood while greatly improving resistance to moisture, insects, warping, and rot—problems commonly associated with traditional wood siding. Because it is factory-engineered, composite siding also arrives primed or pre-finished in an array of colors, eliminating the need for on-site painting and reducing long-term maintenance demands.
How well does composite siding perform in Elizabethton’s climate?
Elizabethton experiences hot, humid summers, cold winters, and roughly 46 inches of annual rainfall. Composite siding is designed to handle these temperature swings and moisture levels without cracking, swelling, or delaminating. Its polymer resins create a closed-cell structure that repels water, while embedded UV inhibitors minimize color fade under strong Appalachian sunshine. Most manufacturers certify their boards to withstand wind loads of 120–150 mph, giving homeowners added peace of mind during severe thunderstorms common to northeast Tennessee.
Can composite siding be installed over my existing siding, or will the old cladding have to be removed first?
In many cases composite siding can be installed directly over sound, flat existing cladding such as wood lap or fiber-cement, provided there is no underlying rot, mold, or structural damage. Our team will perform a full inspection; if the old siding is soft, uneven, or harboring moisture problems, we recommend a complete tear-off to protect your home’s sheathing. When an overlay is feasible, we add a breathable weather-resistive barrier and furring strips to ensure adequate ventilation and drainage behind the new composite panels.
What kind of maintenance will I need to do after installation?
Composite siding is close to maintenance-free. Simply rinse it with a garden hose once or twice a year to remove pollen or surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a soft-bristle brush and a mild detergent. Unlike natural wood, composite siding never requires sanding, scraping, or repainting. Periodic caulk inspection around windows and doors is recommended, and you should keep shrubs trimmed 6–12 inches from the wall to allow airflow and prevent spore buildup.
How long does a typical composite siding project take in Elizabethton and what disruptions should I expect?
A standard single-story, 2,000-square-foot home usually takes 4–6 working days from removal (if needed) to final inspection, though weather or structural repairs can extend the schedule. Our Elizabethton crew arrives daily between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. You can expect moderate noise from saws and nail guns, but we minimize disturbances by cleaning the site each evening and using on-board dust extractors. Your driveway and lawn will be protected with tarps and plywood sheets, and we haul away demolition debris daily to keep access points clear.
Is composite siding cost-effective, and will it add value to my Elizabethton property?
While composite siding’s upfront cost is higher than vinyl or basic wood, its 30-to-50-year warranty, low maintenance requirements, and energy-efficient foam-backed options make it one of the most cost-effective exterior upgrades over the long run. According to the 2023 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report for the Southeast, homeowners recoup an average of 77 percent of a composite siding investment at resale. Buyers appreciate the material’s durability, color stability, and modern curb appeal, which can help your Elizabethton home stand out in a competitive market.
