Frequently Asked Questions

c Expand All C Collapse All

The duration of a siding project depends on factors such as the size of the home, the type of siding being installed, and the complexity of the job. On average a smaller to medium size home can take 1 to 3 weeks. A larger or more complex home can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks. This timeline includes removal of old siding when necessary, preparation of the surface, and installation of the new siding.

Fiber cement is superior in coastal humidity and storm conditions, making it an ideal choice for such environments. In contrast, vinyl siding is highlighted as a more budget-friendly option, though it may not provide the same level of performance as fiber cement in challenging weather conditions. Both materials cater to different needs, with fiber cement being suited for durability and resilience in coastal areas, while vinyl offers a cost-effective solution for those prioritizing budget over performance.

Yes, fiber cement performs better in coastal humidity and storm conditions, while vinyl remains a great budget-friendly option.

Estimating costs for new siding is driven by factors such as the type and quality of siding material, the size and complexity of the installation area, labor costs, and any additional work needed (like removing old siding, repairing underlying structures, or painting the home after the wood or cement-fiber siding is installed). Older homes may have code issues like inadequate plywood or sheathing around the home, making the need to bring up to current codes a costly expense.  Geographic location, home design, and certain market conditions also significantly determine overall costs.

Repair your siding if the damage is minor, localized, and the siding is relatively new or in good overall condition, and still available for purchase. Replace it if there is extensive or structural damage, the siding is old and deteriorating, or if you need a significant upgrade in energy efficiency or aesthetics. Often, siding manufacturers discontinue colors, different product lines, and profiles, making a repair difficult based on matchability. Under these circumstances, we recommend replacement or at minimum replacement corner to corner.

My husband and I went through a water damage in our kitchen and entire first floor. As first time home owners, we had no idea how to make our home feel and look like ours again. We are so thankful that we stumbled across New Beginnings as that were attentive and had impeccable communication throughout the entire process. We were nearly in tears after seeing our home not only be livable again but even better than it was before! Thank you New Beginnings for everything! We certainly will be reaching out again for any future renovations.

We experienced external home damage in a surprise summertime evening "microburst" resulting in hail damage to our roof and vinyl siding. Michael Sanders was our initial contact with New Beginnings who immediately had a calming presence in our abrupt upheaval. He was compassionate about our unexpected home repair project & provided us a step by step map of what to expect with the insurance/mortgage company process. He remained readily available for questions until the final steps had been completed. Austin was on site each time a crew had to put hands on our home & kept in close contact. Home site supervision that was highly valued as I work from home with a small child -- he accompanied workers into our home - which made us feel safe. One of the most polite & caring young men we've ever met!! Both of these gentlemen earned our highest regards & the work that was completed on our home is 5 star perfection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sincerest and highest recommendation for New Beginnings Construction, Michael & Austin.

They did a great job on my roof and trim replacement from a storm damage. There was a miscommunication with my sales representative, but they corrected it quickly. I would use them again, especially when I need window replacement. I highly recommend this company.
