For Central Ohio's climate with temperature extremes, humidity, and severe storms, fiber cement and vinyl siding perform exceptionally well. Fiber cement (like James Hardie) offers the best overall durability—it resists moisture, won't rot, handles freeze-thaw cycles, and stands up to severe weather. Vinyl siding is also excellent, particularly quality products with higher thickness ratings. Both materials resist Ohio's weather challenges better than wood. We'll help you choose the best option based on your budget, home style, and maintenance preferences during your consultation.

Most residential siding installations take 1-2 weeks depending on home size and complexity. Smaller homes or single-wall replacements may be completed in 3-5 days, while larger two-story homes with complex architecture might require 2-3 weeks. Timeline factors include square footage, number of stories, existing siding removal, substrate repairs needed, weather conditions, and material delivery schedules. We provide realistic timelines during estimates and keep you informed if any adjustments are needed. Our goal is quality work completed as efficiently as possible without rushing.

This depends on your existing siding condition and local building codes. In most cases, we recommend complete removal of old siding so we can inspect the substrate for moisture damage, rot, or structural issues that need repair. Removal also allows proper installation of updated moisture barriers and insulation for better performance. Some vinyl-over-wood installations are possible if the existing surface is sound, but removal typically provides better long-term results. We'll assess your specific situation during inspection and recommend the best approach for your home's needs and your budget.

Yes, new siding is one of the best exterior improvements for return on investment. National data shows siding replacement recoups 75-85% of its cost in increased home value. Beyond the numbers, new siding dramatically improves curb appeal, makes homes more marketable, and can help properties sell faster. Modern siding also improves energy efficiency, reducing utility costs. The visual transformation is immediate and significant—outdated or damaged siding makes homes look neglected, while fresh siding makes them look well-maintained and move-in ready. Whether you're selling soon or staying long-term, new siding is a smart investment.

Maintenance requirements depend on your siding material. Vinyl siding needs minimal maintenance—just annual washing with a garden hose or pressure washer (low setting) and mild soap. Fiber cement requires repainting every 10-15 years but otherwise just periodic cleaning. Wood siding needs more attention—annual inspection, cleaning, and repainting or restaining every 3-7 years depending on exposure. For all materials, keep vegetation trimmed away, ensure proper drainage, inspect caulking around windows and doors, and address any damage promptly. We provide specific care instructions for your siding material and are always available to answer maintenance questions.

Yes, individual panels can often be replaced without redoing entire walls, especially with vinyl and fiber cement siding designed for this purpose. Matching existing colors can be challenging on older siding due to fading, but manufacturers often have archived colors available. For small damage areas, panel replacement is cost-effective. However, if damage is widespread, multiple walls need work, or your siding is 15+ years old with fading, full replacement might be more practical and economical long-term. We'll assess your damage, provide honest recommendations, and give you options for both repair and replacement so you can make an informed decision.

Yes, new siding installation significantly improves energy efficiency, especially when combined with proper insulation and moisture barriers. Modern siding systems create better thermal barriers than old single-layer installations. Insulated vinyl siding can reduce heat loss by up to 20%, while proper installation eliminates air infiltration gaps that cause drafts and energy waste. We install house wrap moisture barriers and can add insulation board during installation for maximum efficiency. Many homeowners notice reduced heating and cooling costs after siding replacement. Better energy efficiency means lower utility bills and improved indoor comfort year-round—benefits that continue saving money throughout your siding's lifespan.
