FAQ's 

1) What is composite slate siding?
An engineered slate look made from advanced polymers. It gives you the rich texture of real slate without the weight, brittleness, or constant upkeep.


2) Where does it work best on a house?
Front gables, dormers, entry walls, and chimney chases. It adds depth and contrast in the spots people notice first.


3) How long does it last?
Decades. It won’t flake or crumble like stone can, and it stands up to New England’s freeze–thaw, wind, and salt air.


4) Does the color fade?
Color is built into the material and stabilized for UV, so it stays consistent. We help you pick a blend that matches your roof, trim, and neighborhood.


5) What maintenance is needed?
Very little. Rinse occasionally, keep gutters clear, and trim branches. No sealing or painting. If a piece is ever damaged, we can replace just that piece.


6) Is it heavy—will I need structural changes?
No. It’s much lighter than real slate, so you get the look without extra structural work.


7) Can you install it over my existing siding?
We recommend a clean, prepared wall with proper flashing and moisture management. That’s how you get the best look, longest life, and valid warranty.


8) How does it compare on cost?
More than vinyl, less than natural slate or full masonry. It delivers big curb-appeal impact with low maintenance—great value for accent areas.

Composite Siding Facts

Composite siding is typically made from a blend of wood fibers or engineered materials combined with resins and binders. The result is a strong, uniform board designed to resist moisture, impact, and everyday weathering better than traditional wood alone.
Composite siding is engineered to be thicker and more impact-resistant than vinyl and more stable than natural wood. It resists splitting, swelling, and warping while still giving a solid, high-end look on the home.
Maintenance is simple. Most composite systems only need an occasional rinse with a garden hose or gentle wash to remove dirt and pollen. You avoid the frequent scraping, sanding, and repainting that wood siding often needs.
Composite siding is designed to resist moisture absorption, rot, and insect damage. When it is installed with proper flashing and details, it provides a long-lasting protective shell against the elements.
Many composite siding products come prefinished in factory-applied colors that are designed to last for years. Some lines are paintable if you ever want to change colors, but routine repainting is not required the way it is with bare wood.
Quality composite siding is formulated with UV-resistant finishes that help reduce fading and chalking. You can expect a stable, consistent appearance for many years with basic cleaning.
Yes. Composite siding performs well in wide temperature swings, heavy rain, wind, and coastal conditions. It is engineered to stay stable through freeze-thaw cycles and repeated storms when it is properly installed.
In some cases composite siding can go over sound, flat existing siding, but we usually recommend removing old material so we can inspect the sheathing, repair any hidden damage, and install a proper weather barrier for the best long-term result.
Composite siding comes in lap boards, shingles, panels, and trim profiles. Textures range from smooth and modern to wood-grain looks that pair well with traditional New England architecture.
Most manufacturers offer strong material warranties, and we match that with professional installation and a workmanship guarantee. During your appointment we review the specific coverage for the product line you choose.
