Siding FAQ

What styles of siding do you install?
We can install  horizontal and vertical siding, board & batten, shingles, and hand split shake style in 5 different profiles and a wide range of colors. We also offer aluminum siding.

How much insulation can I get with my siding?
We install standard 1/4″ underlayment or Styrofoam backed siding.

Can I get additional ventilation through my soffit?
Yes. We can add additional soffit ventilation when installing.

What kind of shutters do you provide?
We carry 2 styles of shutters – Mastic raised panel and louvered style shutters in a variety of colors.

How long can I realistically expect siding to last on my house?
Most people are under the impression that all siding is the same. However, there are many different levels of quality. The standard rule is, “the cheaper the price, the shorter the life of the product.” At Freeman's Roofing, Siding and Windows, Inc. all of our siding products come with a warranty on the installation, and our product warranties vary based on the product you choose to have installed.

How much can siding increase the value of a home?
People love maintenance free siding (or anything, for that matter!) You might want to look into the various styles of siding – there are various grades and some are even insulating!

Is siding more costly than simply repainting my home?
In the short run, yes. But when you start adding the cost of repeatedly painting your home, siding wins, hands down. Compare the ongoing costs of painting to a one-time investment in new siding.

How does the cost of siding compare to the added resale value it provides?
In terms of adding resale value to your home, siding is one of the best investments you can make.  Exterior improvements such as the installation of siding also make a home more attractive on the market.

Is siding durable?
Yes. Whether it is sturdy fiber cement or high quality vinyl, today’s siding will provide decades of worry-free, maintenance-free protection for your home. And because the color goes completely through most siding, it never has to be scraped, sanded or painted.

How do I maintain my siding?
There really is no maintenance, just occasional cleaning. Ordinarily, the cleaning action of rainfall will be adequate to wash your siding. However, the siding and soffit should be washed periodically by hosing with a garden hose and clear water, particularly in those areas not exposed directly to rain. If you desire to do a more thorough cleaning, or where high soil collection conditions occur, use a soft-bristled, long-handled washing brush. It attaches to your garden hose and makes washing your siding easier.

Is one season better than another to have my new siding installed?
Not really. You can have your siding installed in any season, as your schedule and budget allow. Regardless of when you have your new siding installed, you’ll enjoy the immediate benefits of improved appearance, as well as the long-term benefits of durability and easy maintenance.
