Siding, Soffits, and Trim
Fiber Cement Saves on Maintenance
Just a few years ago, cedar siding was considered top-of-the line. Today, fiber cement products from JamesHardie and CertainTeed are the preferred choice. Fiber cement has the warmth of natural wood with the durability of concrete. The look mimics traditional wood lap siding, and other options such as stucco finish or shingles are available to suit your home’s design.
Made from 90% cement and 10% wood fiber, fiber cement siding resists water damage, delamination, rot, termites, even fire – these products have a 50-year limited manufacturers warranty. Your home will look beautiful for years to come with minimal maintenance. Primed directly from the factory, Fiber cement siding holds paint/stain much longer than cedar.
