COMPOSITE SIDING
Composite Siding Installation
Composite siding gives you the look of real wood with far less upkeep. It is engineered to resist rot, insects, and moisture while keeping a natural grain appearance. Our Caldwell-based crew installs composite siding across Nampa, the Treasure Valley, and eastern Oregon.
We are a licensed Idaho contractor, license #3171499, background checked, and insured. The same crew handles the job start to finish. Estimates are free.
Why homeowners choose composite
Composite, sometimes called engineered wood, is made from wood fibers and binders treated to stand up to weather. It looks like painted wood but resists the rot and insect damage that plague real wood siding.
It is lighter than fiber cement and comes in long boards that install quickly. Many products arrive prefinished in a range of colors.
- Natural wood look
- Resists rot and insects
- Lighter than fiber cement
- Prefinished color options
Installation and care
Composite needs correct sealing at cut ends and proper fastening to keep moisture out. We install to the manufacturer specifications so the product performs and the coverage holds.
Upkeep is modest. Occasional cleaning and a repaint down the road keep it looking sharp. We go over finishes and colors during the free estimate.
- What is composite siding made of?
- Composite, often called engineered wood, is made from wood fibers bound with resins and treated to resist moisture and insects. It gives a wood look without the same rot risk. We can show you samples during the estimate.
- How is composite different from fiber cement?
- Composite is lighter and has a warmer, wood grain look, while fiber cement is heavier and more fire resistant. Both resist rot and insects far better than real wood. We help you compare cost and look for your home.
- Does composite siding rot?
- It is treated to resist rot and moisture, which is a big advantage over natural wood. Correct installation and sealed cut ends are important to keep water out. Installed to spec, it holds up well in Idaho weather.
- Does composite need painting?
- Many composite products come prefinished, so painting is not needed right away. Over the years a repaint refreshes the color. We tell you what finish comes on the product we recommend and how long it typically lasts.
- How long does composite siding last?
- With correct installation and basic upkeep, composite commonly lasts a couple of decades or more. Resistance to rot and insects extends its life compared with real wood. Our work is backed by 15, 25, and 50 year warranty options, non prorated and covering materials and workmanship.
- Is composite good for the Idaho climate?
- Yes. It is built to handle temperature swings, sun, and moisture, which suits the Treasure Valley. Proper sealing at joints and ends keeps water out during wet winters. We install it to the specifications for our climate.
- Can composite mimic real wood?
- Yes. The molded grain and painted finish look like real wood siding from the street and up close. If you want the wood look without the maintenance, composite is a strong option. We can show you samples in person.
- How much does composite siding cost?
- It usually sits between vinyl and fiber cement on price, depending on the product and home size. The wood look and durability drive the value. Ask us for a written estimate and we will price it for your home.
- Do you inspect the wall before installing?
- Yes. We remove the old siding and check the sheathing and weather barrier for damage before installing composite. Fixing hidden issues first protects the new siding. We report what we find before we cover it back up.
