Vinyl siding as an exterior cladding has been available to the consumer for well over 50 years as an alternative to aluminum and wood sidings.
Vinyl siding as we know it today is constantly evolving to ensure durability and performance with multiple attachment points for those windy areas, its advanced UV-resistant coatings can resist fading and guaranty a long lasting color, it can come in many shapes, colors and textures to fit your style and needs.
Vinyl siding maintenance is basically a soap low pressure washing cleaning as needed, this washing routines will be base on climate location, home surroundings, and even home owner’s way of living and style, maintenance can be required more often if property is surrounded by many bushes or trees that are not allowing the cladding to properly dry out and breath resulting in deterioration of the cladding and even mold grow.
Vinyl siding installed is a very affordable exterior cladding, probably the most affordable in the Tri-state area, mainly because its prep and installation does not take much time as compare to stucco, stone and even fiber cement siding, it’s made out of vinyl and its installation is also not as labor intense as others, once is installed it does not require any painting or sealing like other claddings do. How ever as any other exterior cladding extra precaution most be taken when waterproofing and preparing the walls with a moisture and water resistant barrier (building paper) over any wood framing and sheathing.
One of the main reasons why vinyl siding is so reliable and probably the most forgiving [residential] cladding system in the USA is the free draining space that comes with it and also because it’s very air leaky. A wall no matter which cladding it has eventually will get wet there is no difference about that between claddings, what makes a big REAL difference is how fast a cladding system has the ability to drain the water and dry out. With that been said we will mention the pros and cons of both…

At the end what dictates what is best for your property is the way the residence was or is been built, if your house is not inside-insulated or not properly insulated with a proper drainage system insulated siding may be your best option, if the home is well inside-insulated then regular siding may be your best option.
Fiber cement siding is a non combustible material made out of fiber cement, a resilient mix of wood pulp and portland cement, this cladding combines the attributes of a masonry cladding ( strength, impervious to insects), the attributes of a wood cladding ( can be shape to mimic wood, can be painted) , the attributes of brick, stucco ( can resist cracking, splintering, denting cold and warm weathers).
Fiber cement siding comes either…
Even though fiber cement siding companies and suppliers offer exceptional guaranties when comes to their products, eventually some fade in the paint will occur this will require some maintenance paint work, we consider a safe time of 7+/- years inspection routine depending on weather conditions property location and surroundings. Low pressure wash if needed and a proper maintenance of all caulking joints.
The main reason why Fiber cement siding has become so popular is mainly because it is in the sweet spot between vinyl siding and other claddings without compromising look or reliability.
Fiber cement siding is not as cheap as vinyl siding but is also not as expensive as stucco or stone, pricing of this cladding can vary depending on the size of the property, the details needed or wanted, price will also vary if customers add trims around the windows, soffit, decorative bands and so on…
Even though siding is a very forgiven exterior cladding, there is no perfect system or material out there, some have less or more attributes then others.
