Siding Installation FAQs
Common questions about siding installation in Myrtle Beach.
What type of siding is best for Myrtle Beach homes?
Fiber cement (James Hardie) and premium vinyl siding perform best in Myrtle Beach. Fiber cement resists salt air, UV, humidity, and impacts. Premium vinyl (CertainTeed, Alside) offers excellent value with good coastal durability. Both handle hurricanes well when properly installed.
How long does siding last in coastal South Carolina?
Fiber cement siding lasts 30-50 years in Myrtle Beach with minimal maintenance. Premium vinyl siding typically lasts 20-40 years. Lower-grade vinyl may show wear in 10-15 years due to UV exposure and salt air. Quality materials and proper installation are key to longevity.
Is James Hardie siding worth the extra cost?
Yes, for Myrtle Beach homes James Hardie is often the best investment. It resists salt air corrosion, does not melt or warp, withstands hurricane debris, resists termites and rot, and increases home value. The 15-year finish warranty and 30-year substrate warranty provide long-term peace of mind.
Can siding withstand hurricanes?
Yes, when properly installed. Fiber cement siding is rated for 130+ mph winds. Vinyl siding can withstand high winds if installed with hurricane clips and proper nailing patterns. We use enhanced fastening for all coastal installations to meet or exceed wind zone requirements.
How long does siding installation take?
Most residential siding installations take 3-7 days depending on home size, siding type, and complexity. A typical 2,000 sq ft home takes about 4-5 days. Fiber cement installations may take slightly longer due to precision cutting requirements.
Do you remove old siding before installing new?
We typically remove old siding to inspect and repair sheathing, add housewrap, and ensure proper installation. In some cases, vinyl can be installed over existing siding, but this may hide underlying issues. We recommend full removal for best results and warranty coverage.
