COMPOSITE SIDING

Composite Siding Installation

Cobblestone Construction installs engineered wood composite siding on homes across Utica and the Mohawk Valley. Composite gives you the deep grain of painted wood in a panel tough enough to shrug off hail and ladders, without cedar’s upkeep cycle. Our own crews install it, and estimates are free.

ENGINEERED WOOD COMPOSITE

Why choose composite siding over vinyl or fiber cement?

Composite is the middle ground that wins a lot of arguments: warmer looking than vinyl, tougher against impact than fiber cement, and none of real cedar’s staining cycle. The panels are made of wood strands bonded with resins and waxes, pressed into boards with deep grain texture, and treated through the material against rot and insects. On the wall it reads as painted wood, because at heart that is what it is.

Where composite earns its keep in the Mohawk Valley is toughness. Hail, ice sliding off a roof, a ladder set carelessly, a stray baseball: engineered wood takes hits that crack fiber cement and punch through vinyl. Long panel lengths mean fewer joints on the wall, and the factory finish holds for years before paint enters the conversation. We install vinyl, Hardie board, cedar, and composite, so the samples go side by side on your actual house and the recommendation follows from there.

I have had them out twice now to replace sections of my roof. Both times they did amazing work. They left the area clean when they were done, even taking extra care around all of the plants as to not damage anything. Great work and communication.

We just got a new roof with this company. Pete and Gina are fantastic. Their financing through Green Sky was quick and easy. Their workers worked really fast and did a great job, all the way to the end with great clean up. They were done in one day.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

COMPOSITE SIDING QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straight answers to what homeowners and building owners ask us most. Still not sure about something? Call (315) 733-3106 and a real person will pick up.

What is composite siding made of?

Wood strands and fibers bonded with resins and waxes, pressed under heat into dense, stable panels, then treated against rot and insects and finished at the factory. It is real wood re-engineered to skip wood’s weaknesses, which is why it looks the part and behaves better.

What is the difference between composite and Hardie board?

Both give you the painted-wood look. Hardie board is fiber cement: heavier, noncombustible, and closer to masonry. Composite is engineered wood: lighter, warmer looking, and tougher against impact from hail and debris. Fire edge to fiber cement, impact edge to composite. We install both, so you get the honest comparison on your house.

Is composite siding better than vinyl?

It costs more and gives you more. Composite is a solid panel with real depth of grain, it takes paint if you ever want a new color, and it stands up to impacts that crack vinyl. Vinyl remains the value pick with zero upkeep. Which one is right depends on the house and the budget, and we will tell you straight.

Does composite siding need painting?

Not for a long time. The factory finish is baked on in controlled conditions and holds for years, and when repainting day eventually comes the stable panel underneath takes paint well and keeps it. In between, the routine is an occasional rinse and a glance at the caulk lines.

How does composite handle Utica weather?

Well, and toughness is the reason. Freeze and thaw barely moves the panel, the through-treatment keeps moisture and insects out of the material, and hail and sliding ice that dent or crack other sidings tend to bounce off. Proper flashing and installation details do the rest, and ours do.

Can composite give me the cedar shake look?

Yes, and it is the most popular reason people choose it. Composite shake profiles in gables carry real grain and shadow without cedar’s staining cycle, and lap panels handle the main walls. If you love the cedar look but not the cedar calendar, this is the road we usually point you down.
