I am interested in putting siding on my house. What are the pros and cons to fiber-cement siding? Also, how much is it usually? And does it look give the same look as vinyl? And most importantly how much will this improve my property value? dollar for dollar? more or less?
Only con is it is difficult to cut, need to purchase the correct saw blade. It is very stable with changes in temperature, unlike vinyl siding. It does have a similar appearance and will increase the value of your home more than vinyl would. I think that vinyl should decrease the value, it is just not a good material for siding. Have worked many days on repairing vinyl siding that is coming loose. I plan on using cement board siding when I replace the siding on my home. Price is very good right now for cement board, about the same price as the cheap masonite lap siding.
