What’s involved in re-siding my Bergen county house? (Jane from Teaneck)
After an assessment to determine the best siding product for your home, we start by covering and protecting items not involved in the renovation. Then, if necessary, we would strip off the old product and wrap new insulation where it’s needed. After the outer area of the home is prepared, we install the siding product. Then we check the details and add appropriate accessories. And finally, we clean up any debris or leftover pieces and leave your home in perfect condition.
What is “fiber cement” siding? John & Mary from Mahwah
Fiber cement exterior siding is a durable, attractive alternative to traditional wood composite, cedar, vinyl, brick or stucco sidings. Combining the look and warmth of natural wood with the durability of fiber-cement, fiber cement resists damage from extended exposure to humidity, rain, snow, salt air and termites. It is dimensionally stable and under normal conditions will not crack, rot or delaminate. It does need to be painted, however.
Fiber cement siding installs as easily as wood siding but offers a lifetime of low-maintenance. Typically, fiber cement siding is:
- Less expensive than brick.
- Equally or less expensive than hardboard siding.
- Less expensive than synthetic stucco.

Isn’t it cheaper to paint my home?
Yes, but that is a shortsighted solution. It may cost less now, but after adding the cost of repainting every few years, and repairing and replacing rotting sections it no longer sounds enticing to paint. Also, according to Today’s Homeowner Magazine and Remodeling Magazine, a home in this area of the country can recoup 84% of the investment involved in replacement siding.
What siding accessories and siding trims are available for my home?
When renovating the outside of your home, you should think about more than siding and windows. You’ll need to look at window and door trim, columns, soffits, garage doors, and just about everything else on the outside of your home. Most of these products will be available from your home exterior contractor.
