20+ Years Experience | Certified Installers | Up to 50-Year Warranties
Failing Siding Damages Your Home's Structure and Value
Old vinyl or damaged siding exposes your home to moisture, pests, and energy loss
Moisture Intrusion & Rot
Cracked or missing siding lets water inside your walls. This causes:
- • Wood rot
- • Mold growth
- • Structural damage
North Carolina's humidity makes this worse. Repairs cost $5,000-$15,000 - much more than new siding.
Higher Energy Bills
Old siding creates gaps and air leaks. Your HVAC works harder. You pay more.
- • Walls lose 25-35% of heating/cooling energy
- • Quality siding cuts energy costs by 10-15% per year
- • Savings help pay for the upgrade
Lower Home Value
Bad siding hurts your home's value:
- • Buyers notice it first
- • Homes sell for 10-15% less
- • Takes longer to sell
- • New siding recoups 75-80% of cost

What We've Learned in 20+ Years

Why Premium Vinyl Makes Sense

Years Lifespan
Long-lasting performance
Limited Warranty
Transferable to new homeowners
Virgin Material

Fiber Cement Options Also Available
While we prefer Ascend and vinyl for most projects, we can install James Hardie fiber cement if specifically requested
Why We Usually Don't Recommend Fiber Cement
James Hardie is good. But we've found better options for most NC homes:
Needs Repainting
Even ColorPlus finish needs repainting every 10-15 years. That's $3,000-5,000+ extra cost.
Costs More Overall
Higher price upfront. Plus ongoing maintenance. Ascend and vinyl save you money.
Harder to Install
Heavy material takes more labor. This increases your installation cost.
Moisture Problems
Edges can absorb water if not perfect. Needs careful caulk maintenance.
But We'll Install It If You Insist
Some customers specifically want James Hardie for insurance requirements, HOA guidelines, or personal preference. We're certified to install it properly and will honor your choice - we just think you might be happier with Ascend or premium vinyl in the long run.

240 Months Financing Available
We offer up to 20 years to pay - that's 5 years longer than typical 180-month terms! Premium Ascend composite or quality vinyl siding becomes affordable with lower monthly payments.

(Energy savings + zero maintenance costs help offset the payment!)
