What is composite siding?

Composite siding is often made of pieces of wood that have been pretreated and primed. In addition to wood there is a type called fiber cement siding that is made of cement, sand, and other fibers.

Can composite siding be painted?

The short answer is yes. Most composite siding actually comes pre-stained and ready to paint. If your home has already been painted, you can repaint the siding. However, you will need to inspect the current condition of your siding prior to painting. Depending on the age of your composite siding, you may need to look into a replacement service.

What’s the difference between composite and vinyl siding?

Composite siding is very durable and can last for many years. While vinyl is also durable, it may need replacing before composite will. However, vinyl siding is often much easier to install. Composite siding may last longer, but it is also more expensive. Maintenance of both is usually very simple. Composite is often pretreated to resist mold and other buildup, and vinyl can usually be pressure washed when needed.
