Fiber Cement Siding Installation & Replacement

Installing fiber cement siding strengthens your home’s exterior

Durability is the key selling point for replacing your home’s siding with fiber cement. Due to its density, fiber cement siding can withstand high winds, impact damage, and is fire resistant. This gives homeowners peace of mind when dealing with stormy areas. Because fiber cement is not made from organic materials, it doesn’t rot from fungus and is not prone to termite damage. You can avoid many common types of siding damage just by using a non-organic material. The density of fiber cement siding also helps dampen sound transmission and stops heat loss. Installing fiber cement siding helps keep your home quiet and comfortable.

Only have a professional install fiber cement siding

Replacing your siding with fiber cement is not a “do it yourself” job for one person. The weight of the material will often require at least two people to carry. Skill is also required to properly affix the heavy siding onto the home so it does not just fall off or damage the home. There are numerous safety precautions that must be followed when working with fiber cement. High-end equipment is needed to cut the material and proper ventilation and clean up is a must for avoiding exposure to silica dust. Only hire an experienced contractor that is specially trained to install fiber cement on your home. When having a trained contractor install fiber cement siding, it is possible for the work to last for as long as 50 years.
