Pros and Cons of Hardie Board Siding

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Hardie board siding has been around for a very long time. Its popularity comes in waves as it claims to be a low maintenance, inexpensive choice of siding. Many people will swear by hardie board siding and others will choose to use other things before choosing it. There are many great things about this siding but there also some negative things that you may not hear about unless you read some reviews from people who have used it. Doing research on this siding will give you a good picture of the pros and cons of this well-known siding.

One pro to hardie board siding is Longevity. Most Hardie board siding comes with a 50-year, limited transferrable warranty. According to Smart Homeowner.com, this type of siding is completely rot and insect resistant, and can even withstand the corrosive elements of salt spray near the ocean. Another pro is the appearance. Hardie board siding can be made to look just like any other siding material, including wood lapboards, cedar shingles, and wood shake siding. Many of the hardie board dealers will tell you that your color options are virtually unlimited. These colors are typically accompanied by a 10 to15 year warranty on the finish.

One pro that people see as an added benefit is that hardie board is fire resistant. One hardie board dealer states that fiber cement siding "is comprised of more than 90% sand and cement, making it inherently resistant to flames." A St. Paul Minnesota house fire burned up two fire trucks parked 60 feet away, but the fiber cement-clad home next door, 50 feet away, remained unburned. One more pro for hardie board siding is that it is storm resistant. Whether you're looking for a siding material that can withstand the next hurricane, or one that can handle the next summer hailstorm without sustaining damage, hardie board siding is a proven need in the weather department.

A con for hardie board siding is High Installation and Labor Costs. Fiber cement siding requires more planning, a larger labor force, and takes longer to install due to its completion. One more con is the maintenance. Hardie board siding has to be re-painted periodically. Many dealers warn that this aspect of fiber cement siding can be misleading for some homeowners, noting that while the product itself is warrantied for 50 years, the baked-on finishes sold by most suppliers are only guaranteed for 15. Your new fiber cement siding will likely outlive you, but the paint job won't. Many people also do not like the cost of hardie board siding. It is $1,000 per square or $10 per square foot. You will spend 40% more if you choose hardie board siding over vinyl siding.
