SIDING INSTALLATION There are some home improvement projects that almost anyone can do themselves, and others that should be left to professionals. In our experience, siding installation tends to fall towards the latter end of the scale, even for veteran DIYers. Your siding is your home’s first line of defense against damage from the elements, so you’ll want to make sure it’s installed correctly. At Wendell Siding Incorporated, we have the right tools and experience to provide top-notch siding installation that will keep your home safe from things like moisture and insect damage for years to come. Our team offers a full range of materials, including vinyl, cedar and fiber cement siding. No matter what material you choose, our team will provide the expert siding installation services you need to guarantee that your home will stay protected. VINYL SIDING Vinyl siding is one of our most popular options, and for good reason. Compared to other materials, vinyl siding requires very little maintenance. Unlike wood, for example, vinyl is not prone to warping or vulnerable to termite damage. In addition, vinyl is extremely durable and will withstand extreme temperatures, high winds, rain, hail and other weather conditions. These qualities make it one of the most cost-effective options, as it is more affordable than other materials and will not need to be replaced as often. If you are interested in reaping these benefits for your home, our team at Wendell Siding Incorporated can help. BOARD AND BATTEN SIDING If you have been holding off on board and batten siding for your home out of fear that a wood material won’t be long-lasting, you are in for a pleasant surprise. The good news is that today’s wood board and batten siding is quite durable and not as challenging to care for. If you would like the look of wood but would prefer even less maintenance, consider some of the other board and batten siding products on the market that are manufactured, including steel, vinyl and fiber cement board options. The price points do vary quite a bit, regardless of the board and batten siding material you choose. Even within the wood category, the species of wood chosen can make a difference in the cost. The labor for the installation of board and batten siding can also differ, such as being higher for fiber cement since it is a heavy and awkward material to work with. We are proud to offer a variety of board and batten siding that can create anything from a rustic appearance to a more modern one. You can be confident that when you contact us to schedule a no-obligation consultation, we will thoroughly explain the different options, their related costs and the advantages of each type. Contact us today to learn more about board and batten siding. CEDAR SIDING When customers contact us looking to replace their vinyl siding with wood, one of the questions we ask is whether low maintenance and durability are concerns. If the answer is yes, we usually recommend cedar siding instead of other wood species. Not only is cedar siding beautiful, but it also has many natural properties that make it an ideal option for homes in our area. Cedar siding is resistant to mildew, bacteria, rot and fungi so it isn’t as prone to problems as other wood types. You still need to inspect it regularly for any signs of moisture accumulation that could make it susceptible to termites and other insect infestations, but with proper installation and drainage, this is an unlikely scenario. With proper care, cedar siding can last for several decades with just occasional cleaning for optimal aesthetic performance and longevity. It also offers superior insulation while adding a warm appeal that can add value to your home. Another benefit of cedar siding is that it comes in a wide variety of styles. Whether you love the rustic look of rough-cut cedar siding or something more sophisticated, such as board and batten, tongue and groove, or bevel, we are confident that we can transform your home with this popular siding option. When you call us to discuss cedar siding, we also go over whether you want to leave it natural and untreated, have a clear coat applied, or to finish it. If you decide to paint or finish your cedar siding, you will need to do that every few years to maintain the appearance. HARDIE BOARD SIDING Hardie Board siding, also known as cement fiber board under the HardiPlank® brand, is growing in popularity throughout the Wilmington, NC area. At Wendell Siding Incorporated, we get many requests for this product because it is one of the greenest siding options out there and lasts a long time. Hardie Board is made of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers which combine to create an outstanding material to both protect and beautify homes. HARDIE BOARD SIDING OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES One reason homeowners choose Hardie Board siding is because of the wood-like resemblance but Hardie Board siding offers many benefits including: it is highly resistant to flood damage, is fire-resistant, is rated for wind resistance per our local building codes, comes in unlimited color options, keeps out insects like carpenter ants and termites, it is unlikely to peel, fade, or rot in tough weather elements, and is an environmentally-friendly siding option. Another reason that Hardie Board siding is popular is that it is very low maintenance. Simply wash it down a couple times a year with your garden hose to remove any dirt or debris, using a soft brush as needed. Generally, water is sufficient, but you can use a mild detergent for something more stubborn to remove. It is easy to fix any dents, cracks or chips that could happen from a storm or other hazards using a patching compound. When compared to other siding options such as vinyl, fiber-cement is a much more durable option. It is also environmentally friendly, warp-resistant, and impact-resistant. Traditional wood siding may split or crack over time, experience swelling or shrinkage when exposed to moisture, may require more frequent upkeep, is susceptible to pests, is flammable and requires additional upkeep. CONTACT US TO LEARN MORE Hardie Board siding comes in three siding options – lap siding, standard siding, and vertical siding, as well as their Artisan® Collection (HZ10) that carries a 30-year express limited product warranty. This warranty is yet another reason Hardie siding is a sound investment for your home. At Wendell Siding Incorporated, we offer Hardie Board siding installation services to those in Clayton, Wake Forest, New Bern, Wilmington, Morehead City, NC., and all of the surrounding areas. If you are interested in learning more about our siding options and which may be the best for your needs, do not hesitate to reach out to our team. INSULATED SIDING It can be unnerving to open your utility bill during the heat of summer or the cold of winter and know that it is far higher than it should be. You have two solutions to consider when your home is not well insulated – add insulation to the interior or wrap your Clayton, NC home with insulated siding. If you need new siding because your current siding isn’t providing the protection you need, or it’s beauty and lower maintenance you would like, insulated siding is an ideal solution. We always address concerns with our customers, so they have the information they need when choosing new siding for their home, and insulated siding is a topic that comes up often even in homes that are already well-insulated. It never hurts to add a bit more for added energy efficiency. The typical way to insulate from the exterior of the home is with insulated siding made from vinyl, but it is important to note that other materials can also add insulative benefits. For example, HardiPlank® Lap Siding with insulation provides R3 exterior insulation while also diminishing outside noise and providing excellent impact resistance. It is a foam backed cement fiber board siding with three times the R-value of wood shingles and nearly six times that of standard vinyl siding. DUTCH LAP SIDING At Wendell Siding Incorporated, we are proud to offer Dutch lap siding for our customers in the Wake Forest, NC area who want something that really stands out while still having the benefits that vinyl siding has to offer. Dutch lap siding has a subtle wood grain texture and distinctive appearance that you may recall from the clapboard siding that used to be so popular. With panels that overlap each other at a slight angle, the dimensional appearance adds character to any home. If that wasn’t enough, Dutch lap siding is also more rigid than a standard flat vinyl siding material, offering exceptional protection for your home from any kind of weather. We believe in giving our customers as many choices as possible, so whether you are looking for standard vinyl siding, Dutch lap siding or anything in between, we are confident that we have the product that fits your preferences and other objectives. Our highly trained and skilled installation crews have the expertise to give you professional results that you’ll love for years to come. FIBER CEMENT SIDING Fiber cement siding has been a popular siding material for several decades. It is manufactured using cement that has been reinforced with cellulose fibers and other additives to make a product that is extremely durable while requiring little maintenance. One of the appealing attributes of fiber cement siding is that it can resemble a variety of other exterior materials, such as cedar shingles, wood clapboards and stucco. It is also insect and fire resistant. Fiber cement siding is a popular choice when a homeowner wants a low-maintenance product. While no siding is maintenance-free, this product comes close, as you only need to wash it down once or twice a year with a garden hose (do NOT use a pressure washer!) and repaint it when desired. You can expect a factory-painted product to give you roughly 15 years of beauty before needing to be repainted. You should also inspect your fiber cement siding every now and then for signs that caulking needs to be reapplied. It is advised to have an effective gutter system in place and to keep landscaping from direct contact with your fiber cement siding. It is also best that sprinkler systems do not saturate the siding on a regular basis. If you would like to know more about how to keep fiber cement siding looking its best, or you would like a quote, don’t hesitate to give us a call.
