Why Homeowners Choose Fiber Cement
Fiber cement is made from cement, sand and wood fibers. It doesn't rot, insects don't eat it, and it holds paint far longer than wood.
It's heavier and harder to cut than vinyl, so installation takes more labor, and it typically costs about $7 to $18 per square foot installed.

Fiber Cement Siding Installation Charlotte NC
Fiber cement has its own installation rules: clearance above the roof and ground, flashing behind butt joints, and sealed cut edges so water can't wick in. Ask how these will be handled.
These details matter more than the brand.
