Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Board and Batten Siding Installation, Repair, and Replacement

What is the average lifespan of board and batten siding?

The lifespan of board and batten siding and trim material varies by material choice. Fiber cement board and batten typically last 50+ years with proper maintenance, while quality vinyl options provide 30-40 years of service. Wood board and batten require more regular maintenance but can last decades when properly cared for. Viking Roofing’s professional installation techniques maximize longevity by ensuring proper moisture management and secure fastening.

How much maintenance do board and batten siding building products require?

Board and batten siding maintenance requirements depend on the trim pieces and material selected. Vinyl requires only occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. Fiber cement needs cleaning and repainting every 7-15 years, depending on climate conditions. Wood demands more attention, including cleaning, staining, or painting every 4-7 years and inspections for moisture issues. All types, however, benefit from annual inspections to catch small problems before they develop in the exterior siding.

Does board and batten siding cost more than traditional horizontal siding?

Board and batten siding typically costs 10-15 percent more than traditional horizontal siding due to its specialized installation process and additional materials required for the batten strips. However, the distinctive appearance adds significant visual interest and architectural character that many homeowners find worth the investment. Viking Roofing provides detailed estimates that outline all costs, helping homeowners make informed decisions.

Can board and batten siding be installed over existing siding?

In many cases, board and batten siding can be installed over existing siding, particularly if the current siding is flat and in reasonably good condition. This approach saves removal costs and reduces landfill waste. However, Viking Roofing recommends complete removal when the existing siding shows damage, moisture issues, or structural concerns. Our inspectors evaluate each situation individually to determine the most appropriate installation method for long-term performance.
