Composite Siding
The beauty of real wood — without the rot, painting, and maintenance that comes with it
Get a Free EstimateReal Wood Look, Zero Wood Headaches
Composite siding captures the warm, textured appearance of real cedar or wood lap siding without any of the ongoing maintenance that natural wood demands. We install ALIGN Composite Cladding by Gentek — engineered with exclusive GP² technology (Glass-Reinforced Polymer + Graphite-Infused Polystyrene) for superior wind load resistance, impact resistance, and flame spread performance. It gives you the authentic grain pattern and dimensional depth that vinyl cannot replicate, combined with the weather and rot resistance that wood never had.
For Quad Cities homeowners who love the look of traditional wood siding but are tired of painting, caulking, and replacing rotted boards every few years, composite siding is a transformative upgrade. It will not absorb water, will not rot, and will not attract insects — three of the primary failure modes of natural wood siding in the Iowa and Illinois climate.
Suburban Construction installs composite siding from leading manufacturers throughout Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, Rock Island, and the surrounding area. We handle the full installation including old siding removal, moisture barrier inspection, trim work, and cleanup — backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Ideal for Homes With Existing Wood Siding
If your home currently has wood siding that is deteriorating, composite siding provides the perfect visual continuity — it will look like wood to any observer — while delivering the durability and low maintenance that modern homeowners expect. The transition is seamless from a curb appeal standpoint.
How Composite Compares to Other Siding Types
Composite siding sits between vinyl and steel in the durability spectrum. It is more durable than standard vinyl and offers a far more authentic wood appearance, but it typically costs more than vinyl. Compared to real wood, composite is significantly more durable, requires virtually no maintenance, and costs less in the long run when you factor out painting cycles and board replacements.
