siding replacement project requires homeowners to make a lot of decisions to ensure that the project is a success. One of the considerations that you’ll have to make is selecting the new material. While there are many materials on the market that can suit your needs, there is one kind of siding that should always be at the top of your list: fiber cement siding.

Here’s why:

1. Low Maintenance
Are you a homeowner who has a busy lifestyle? If so, then install fiber cement siding on your home. With fiber cement siding, you won’t ever have to worry about maintaining it as it’s an incredibly low-maintenance option. To care for it, all you’ll have to do is give it a good rinse with a garden hose to remove debris and buildup.

2. Durable
If you’re looking for a durable siding material, you’re in luck as fiber cement siding is said to be one of the strongest siding options on the market. This is because it was made to withstand extreme weather conditions, such as ultraviolet (UV) rays, strong winds and hailstorms. Apart from that, it also does not expand or contract with humidity and temperature, and can resist moisture as well. This means fiber cement can protect your home for a significant amount of time.

3. High Return on InvestmentOn the other hand, if you have plans of selling your home in the near future, then consider installing this siding material before putting it up on the market. By installing fiber cement siding on your home, studies show that you can recoup around 75.6% of the replacement costs when you sell your home.

4. Wide Range of Colors Apart from the aforementioned benefits, fiber cement siding also comes in a wide range of color options for you to consider, making it one of the most aesthetically appealing siding choices on the market.

Reviews

We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.

Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
