Of course, new siding expenses extend beyond upfront costs. Vinyl siding generally needs replacing approximately twenty years earlier than fiber cement alternatives. Furthermore, James Hardie provides minimal maintenance needs and includes a complete 30-year transferable warranty. Fiber cement siding delivers a wide variety of colors and styles without needing repainting or maintenance like traditional wood. James Hardie Siding withstands fading and hail impacts. Essentially, your upfront investment yields lasting value.
