A siding replacement means a fresh start for the exterior of your home. Choosing the right material is critical, as your home’s beauty, comfort and energy efficiency all depend on it.

That is why we created a guide to help you understand the two most popular siding options and decide what’s best for you:

Fiber Cement Siding Benefits

Fiber cement siding offers plenty of advantages, such as excellent durability, strong fire resistance and easy maintenance. Fiber cement siding is reliant on waste wood fibers for sustainability and material waste reduction. That is why it’s regarded as one of the most eco-friendly siding options. It’s also easy to paint if you want a new color for your house. Other notable key features include insect resistance, UV resistance and a variety of customizable options in terms of shapes and styles.

Wood Siding Benefits

Wood siding can last decades with proper maintenance and care. You’re guaranteed to save on frequent repairs with this material for your siding installation. Like fiber cement siding, it is also available in a wide range of colors and textures.

Although extremely durable, it does have a few drawbacks, like needing frequent maintenance. Nonetheless, wood siding is perfect for homes with a traditional style. Its authentic texture and rich colors enhance curb appeal and will improve the overall value of your home.
