Common questions

Vinyl, fiber cement or engineered wood: which is right?

Start with budget: vinyl is the least expensive, fiber cement the most, engineered wood in the middle. Fiber cement is heavier and needs a painted finish. NAHB's lifespan study rates all three to last as long as the house, so looks and upkeep usually decide. Ask for every warranty in writing.

Do I need a permit for siding in Madison?

Ask the contractor to confirm with the city. Rules can differ between a straight re-side and a job that also changes insulation, sheathing or windows, and the quote should state whether a permit is included.

What about storm damage and insurance?

Homeowner's policies often cover hail and wind damage, less the deductible; purely cosmetic damage may not qualify and wording varies. Because the adjuster relies on the contractor's estimate, claim experience matters.

How long does it take?

It varies with the house, the material and the weather, since siding waits for dry days. Get the schedule in the quote.
