Apex Pro Siding & Wrap brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in siding, house wrapping, and exterior insulation systems. Pittsboro is the county seat of Chatham County, situated 28 miles southwest of Raleigh and 12 miles south of Chapel Hill on US-15/501. The town proper has a 2024 population of approximately 4,989, but Pittsboro sits at the center of the most significant development activity in the Research Triangle — Chatham Park, an 8,500-acre master-planned community by Preston Development Company that at full build-out will include more than 27,000 residential units and 22 million square feet of commercial and research space. The Vineyards, NoVi, Tessera at Mosaic, and Medley at Northwood Landing are among the first residential neighborhoods now actively building and selling within Chatham Park, with hundreds of new homes completed and occupied and thousands more in the pipeline. The median household income in the Pittsboro area is approximately $87,113, and the median home value stands at approximately $447,141 — both figures rising as Chatham Park attracts Research Triangle professionals to the area. Apex Pro Siding & Wrap has served Pittsboro and Chatham County residential and commercial properties for 15 years.
Pittsboro and Chatham County experience the same humid subtropical climate as the broader Research Triangle — summer highs regularly exceeding 95°F, annual rainfall of approximately 46–48 inches, and freeze-thaw cycling each January and February. The county's rural character means more properties on wooded lots adjacent to Jordan Lake, the Haw River, and Chatham County forest corridors — creating elevated ambient humidity on shaded building elevations and increasing mildew accumulation on siding surfaces compared to the more urbanized communities to the north and east.
Apex Pro Siding & Wrap carries full general liability and workers' compensation insurance on every Pittsboro and Chatham County project. Siding replacement permits are filed through the Town of Pittsboro Planning and Inspections Department or Chatham County Inspections for properties outside town limits. We install James Hardie fiber cement under registered contractor certification, qualifying installations for the 30-year non-prorated product warranty not available through uncertified installers. Every project includes a written scope of work and permit filing handled on the customer's behalf.
We have completed thousands of residential and commercial siding projects across Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, Morrisville, Fuquay-Varina, Raleigh, Wake Forest, Chapel Hill, Durham, and Pittsboro. We understand the housing stock in this area specifically.
Our installation teams are trained on full water-managed wall assembly techniques: continuous house wrap with taped seams, integrated kick-out flashing at all roof-wall intersections, foam backer rod and sealant at all penetrations, and proper clearances between siding and grade or roofing.
Thousands of completed projects in the Research Triangle region span single-family residential re-siding, new construction builds, commercial retail and office exteriors, and multi-family properties. More than 94% of our residential customers in the past three years came from referrals or repeat business, which reflects project outcomes more accurately than any other metric.
Chatham County and the Pittsboro area encompass a wide range of housing types and construction eras. Downtown Pittsboro contains pre-war historic homes along Hillsboro Street and the historic traffic circle — a National Register-listed town center with original wood-sided structures requiring preservation-sensitive repair and species-matched material replacement. Fearrington Village, developed from 1974 forward on 1,100 acres of former Fearrington Dairy farmland south of Pittsboro, carries wood and early vinyl siding from the 1980s and 1990s now 30–45 years old in a heavily wooded, high-humidity microclimate. Chatham Park new construction represents the third category, generating consistent new construction siding installation demand from active builder programs throughout the development.
Historic homes in downtown Pittsboro along Hillsboro Street and around the historic traffic circle require species-matched wood repair and repainting on a 5–7 year schedule in Chatham County's climate. We assess these structures individually and work within any applicable local preservation standards governing exterior material and color changes on historically significant properties. Chatham County has recently initiated an architectural survey of rural historic resources, and we track local preservation guidance as it develops.
Fearrington Village presents a distinct repair category with its heavily wooded microclimate and community architectural standards governing all exterior modifications. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s carry wood and early vinyl siding now 30–45 years old under conditions that accelerate surface mildew growth and paint degradation faster than in open suburban terrain. We coordinate with Fearrington Village community management before beginning any siding repair or replacement project in the community — a standard part of our project intake process for this community.
Chatham County's wooded, humid character compresses the maintenance cycle on wood and older vinyl siding installations relative to more open communities. When moisture has reached the sheathing behind aging siding, we remove the affected sections, photograph and document sheathing condition, replace deteriorated sheathing where needed, and reinstall with a new continuous weather-resistive barrier and correctly integrated flashing at all openings and roof-wall intersections.
Chatham Park and the Pittsboro new construction market generate consistent builder-driven siding demand. We work directly with builders active across Chatham Park neighborhoods — including David Weekley Homes, Homes by Dickerson, Garman Homes, and Tri Pointe Homes — pulling permits through the Town of Pittsboro or Chatham County as applicable, and delivering inspection-ready installations on builder timelines across concurrent projects within the development.
Outside of Chatham Park and Fearrington Village, Chatham County contains a mix of rural residential properties, newer subdivisions on large wooded lots along US-64 and US-15/501, and infill development near downtown Pittsboro. We install all siding types across this full range of property types, from standard vinyl re-siding on budget-conscious rural residential projects to James Hardie fiber cement on higher-value properties and new construction specifications.
The Chatham Park commercial development — including the Mosaic mixed-use district on Highway 15-501 and the growing retail, office, and research corridor along the Chatham Park perimeter — generates ongoing commercial siding demand. We install fiber cement panel and metal panel commercial siding in the Pittsboro and Chatham Park market with full permit coordination through the applicable jurisdiction.
James Hardie ColorPlus is the primary siding specification on Chatham Park new construction — it carries a 15-year fade and chalk warranty and 30-year non-prorated product warranty, and eliminates the repainting cycle that primed products require every 10–15 years in Chatham County's humid microclimate. For Fearrington Village homeowners replacing aging wood or vinyl, ColorPlus provides a meaningful long-term maintenance cost reduction over the full ownership horizon.
Chatham County's rural residential stock includes a significant number of 1970s through 1990s homes with wall assemblies built to energy standards well below current NC requirements. Re-siding combined with insulated vinyl or rigid foam CI boards eliminates thermal bridging through wall studs and improves effective wall R-value by R-2.7 to R-15 depending on product selection — most cost-effective when the wall is already open for re-siding.
All re-siding projects in the Pittsboro area include a documented assessment of the existing weather-resistive barrier after siding removal. On the pre-2000 housing stock that comprises much of Chatham County's residential inventory outside Chatham Park, WRB replacement at re-siding is typically warranted. We install Tyvek HomeWrap with fully taped seams and integrated flashing at all openings, or ZIP System sheathing panels where full re-sheathing is part of the project scope.
