Of course, new siding costs go beyond the initial investment. Vinyl siding typically requires replacement around twenty years sooner than fiber cement options. Additionally, James Hardie offers minimal upkeep requirements and comes with a full 30-year transferable warranty.
Fiber cement siding provides a broad range of colors and styles without the need for repainting or the maintenance associated with traditional wood. James Hardie Siding resists fading and hail damage. Ultimately, your initial investment delivers long-term value. When dealing with peeling paint, deteriorating gutters, or aging windows, an exterior update becomes essential.
