What did it cost? Is it worth the extra expense over vinyl?
ive been selling hardieplank and other cement sidings for ages and as far as im concerned they are the best siding option out there. not sure what vinyl costs but cement sidings go for about 90 cents.sqft here in CA probably less elsewhere. once its up its up and little to no maintenance and a 25yr guarantee.
I have been installing some on my house. I love mine and I doubt I will have to worry about my siding again in my lifetime. Very sturdy stuff. Mine was $26 for a 4x8 sheet.
