Why Siding Matters in Maplewood

Maplewood's siding takes a beating from temperature swings, UV exposure, and moisture — an inner-ring suburb built out heavily in the 1950s-70s, with mature tree canopy that shades roofs and traps moisture longer than newer developments. Every gap or failed seal is an opening for water that can rot sheathing and turn into $50,000+ in hidden repairs. We install for the climate, not just the look.

Maplewood's Specific Siding Challenges

Around Gladstone and Battle Creek, vinyl siding installed in the 2000s is starting to show its age — fading, brittleness, cracking in deep cold. Fiber cement (we install LP SmartSide) handles the swings better and can be repainted instead of replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fiber cement holds up 25-30 years here versus 15-20 for vinyl, which gets brittle faster in our winters. The freeze-thaw cycling that's rough on every exterior material is especially rough on vinyl's flexibility.
The total cost of ownership favors fiber cement even though the upfront price is higher. Vinyl's shorter lifespan means replacing it twice over 40 years, while fiber cement needs one replacement and a mid-life repaint — and it typically boosts resale value 2-3%.
Plan on repainting fiber cement every 12-15 years, sooner on south- and west-facing walls with heavier sun exposure. It's a fraction of replacement cost. Vinyl doesn't offer this option — paint doesn't bond to it reliably.
Almost always one of three things: caulk that's failed, flashing that was never installed correctly, or gaps at window and door openings. Our installations are detailed at exactly these transition points.
Every siding job carries a 25+ year material warranty on fiber cement and a 10-year workmanship warranty from us on the installation.
