  • How Long Is Vinyl Siding Warranted?

  • Do I Ever Have To Paint My Siding Again?

    Our siding is designed to be maintenance-free. The most you will need to do is occasionally clean your home's exterior with soap and water, ideally once or twice a year.

  • What Types of Siding Services Do You Offer?

    We at Elite Custom Exteriors offer a range of services, including the provision and installation of both vinyl and aluminum siding, as well as custom metal fabrication.

  • Does It Come With Matching Trim?

    Elite Custom Exteriors offers an extensive array of trim options, ranging from practical utility trims to stylish wide trims that mimic dimensional lumber, including fluted corner posts and decorative crown molding for window headers.

  • Does Your Siding Have Seams?

    Our siding typically comes in lengths ranging from 12’ to 25’, requiring overlapping at the ends to cover a wall fully. It’s engineered to create an almost seamless look. Professional installers will strategically overlap siding to further minimize visible seams, especially in high-traffic areas.

  • Should I Re-Side Using Hardiplank or Vinyl Siding?

    When choosing between Hardiplank and vinyl siding, consider these aspects: maintenance, cost, and aesthetic appeal.


    • Vinyl Siding: Requires minimal maintenance, just periodic cleaning. It’s cost-effective, particularly when applied over existing siding, and offers a range of attractive, durable options. However, vinyl siding cannot be repainted.
    • Hardiplank (Fiber Cement Board): Demands regular maintenance like painting but holds paint longer than traditional materials. It requires the complete removal of old siding before installation, adding to the disposal costs. Hardiplank offers a pleasing aesthetic with a wood grain texture, and you can change its color as desired.
  • How Much Does It Cost To Install Siding on a Home?

    The cost of siding installation varies greatly, depending on the specific needs and budget of each home. Since every home and siding job is unique, we recommend a consultation with our sales representative for an accurate estimate.

  • Are There Other Materials That Are Better Than Vinyl?

    Vinyl siding is unmatched in the siding industry due to its exceptional features and benefits. Its popularity among homeowners contributes to its value, often retaining most of its initial installation cost.

  • If Painting Isn’t Required, How Do I Maintain My Vinyl Siding?

    Maintaining vinyl siding is effortless and requires only occasional cleaning. Normally, rainfall suffices to clean it. For more thorough cleaning, especially in areas not directly exposed to rain, a soft-bristled brush with a long handle can be used, attaching it to a garden hose for ease.

  • My Home Is Partially Brick and Partially Wood Siding. Can I Still Use Vinyl Siding?

    Vinyl siding is highly adaptable and can be combined with a variety of materials, including brick, cinder blocks, natural logs, and field stones, making it suitable for homes with mixed exterior materials like brick and wood siding.
