Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our siding installation services.

Which siding is best for our climate?

It depends on the zone. In Austin, Houston, and New Orleans, we recommend James Hardie HZ10 fiber cement, engineered specifically for hot, humid, hurricane-exposed climates. In St. Louis, Hardie HZ5 is the right product because it is engineered for freeze-thaw cycles and snow load. LP SmartSide engineered wood is a strong second option in any of these markets, especially for homes wanting a cleaner install schedule and a real hail-damage warranty.

Is vinyl siding still a good option?

Yes, in the right grade. Premium vinyl (0.048" or thicker) with full rollover nail hems carries wind ratings well above 150 mph when installed correctly per ASTM D3679 and the VSI installation manual. The catch is hail performance and heat distortion. In Texas heat or in any hail-prone metro like St. Louis, we usually steer clients to fiber cement or engineered wood unless the budget rules them out.

How does the James Hardie warranty work?

Hardie's standard substrate warranty is 30 years, non-prorated, and transferable. The ColorPlus baked-on finish has its own separate warranty. The substrate warranty assumes installation per the Hardie technical bulletins, which is why we follow their fastening, expansion-gap, and clearance-from-grade specs to the letter.

Will my insurance cover siding storm damage?

Often, yes. Wind, hail, and wind-driven debris are typically named perils on most homeowners policies. The catch is documentation. Adjusters frequently miss hidden hail bruising on vinyl, wind-creased fiber cement, and back-panel water intrusion. We document slope-by-slope, panel-by-panel, just like a roof claim, and supplement when initial estimates miss damage.

Can you match my existing siding color or profile?

For partial replacements, color match is a real challenge — vinyl and painted fiber cement fade unevenly over years of UV exposure, so a new panel rarely blends perfectly. We document this in writing and discuss options before work starts. In hail or wind claims, this is usually a covered "matching" issue, and we present it that way to the adjuster.
