Cellular PVC siding and composite siding are not the same, although they may appear similar. Both are popular choices for homeowners due to their durability and maintenance requirements, but there are important differences between the two materials.

Cellular PVC Siding

Cellular PVC (polyvinyl chloride) siding is a type of siding that’s manufactured from PVC plastic. It’s engineered to mimic the look and feel of natural wood but with added durability and less maintenance. Unlike wood, cellular PVC siding does not warp, rot, or split. Additionally, it’s highly resistant to water damage and insect infestations.

One major advantage of cellular PVC siding is that it can be painted, offering you more options for customization. It’s also energy-efficient, helping to insulate your home and reduce energy costs.

Composite Siding

Composite siding, on the other hand, is made from a blend of materials, often including wood fibers, binders, and fillers. The materials are combined and engineered to resemble traditional wood siding, but they have enhanced durability and resistance to damage. Composite siding is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, and it doesn’t require frequent maintenance.

Composite siding may not be as customizable as cellular PVC, as it usually comes pre-finished with a selected color and texture.

So while both types of siding are excellent choices, they offer different features and benefits, and your choice would depend on your specific needs, preferences, and budget.

Branches can scrape and gouge siding during windy conditions, and overhanging limbs can create damp, shaded areas that encourage the growth of mold and mildew.

We recommend inspecting your siding at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall. This helps you catch any potential issues early, such as cracks, rot, or mold, which could worsen over time if not addressed.

The best cleaning method depends on the type of siding you have. Generally, a gentle wash with a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent works for most materials. For tougher stains, a low-pressure power wash may be necessary. However, you should always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines or consult with a professional to avoid any damage.

Yes, they can. Vines can work their way into small cracks and crevices, widening them and potentially allowing moisture to penetrate your siding. It’s best to avoid allowing climbing plants to grow on your house altogether.

Keep gutters clean to prevent overflow that can lead to water damage.
Ensure good soil grading around your home’s foundation to prevent water from pooling near your siding.
Consider periodic professional inspections to catch issues you might miss.

Some siding materials may benefit from sealing or waterproofing, but it depends on the type of material and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Consult with a professional to determine if this is necessary for your particular siding.

Small areas of mold and mildew can often be cleaned with a solution of water and vinegar. For larger areas, or if the mold has penetrated below the surface, it’s best to contact a professional to assess and treat the issue to prevent further damage.

Improper pressure washing can indeed damage siding, especially if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the siding. Always use the lowest pressure setting that is effective and keep the nozzle moving to avoid concentrating the force in one area.
