Selecting the appropriate siding material for your home can significantly impact its appearance, maintenance needs, and overall value. Whether you are replacing because of age or damage, It's essential to understand each material's key features and drawbacks. This lets you make an informed decision that aligns with your exterior design priorities and budget.
You Could Choose Metal Exterior Siding

- Metal siding, with its sleek and modern appearance, offers good durability but isn’t truly low maintenance. While it does the job of protecting your home from everyday weather, here are the drawbacks:
- Metal is not ding and dent-free. Tree limbs, flying storm debris and foul baseballs are going to leave their mark. Removing just one or two damaged panels with traditional metal siding is hard. Instead, it means replacing whole sides of your exterior at a much higher price tag, and inconvenience.
- Metal siding finish can scratch and fade. If your metal siding has a finish on it, you will probably need to refinish it.
- Aesthetically, it might not work for your home. Some metal siding tends to have an industrial look that might not complement traditional or more rustic homes.

You Could Choose Fiber Cement House Siding

Fiber cement siding has gained popularity due to its perceived lower cost compared to some other alternatives. While it boasts decent durability and can resist fire, rot, and pests, some concerns linger.
- Fiber Cement is prone to breakage and chipping anytime it is handled or takes a hit – those pesky tree limbs and foul balls again. This not only reduces the attractiveness and curb appeal of your exterior but could increase the need for replacement and refinishing costs.
- Chipping and breakage in fiber cement siding also makes it threatened by moisture absorption. This means regular rainy days and humid weather are now threats to your siding and your home. Homeowners often worry about the potential for mold growth, requiring diligent maintenance and regular inspections.
- Additionally, its lower upfront cost might be offset by the need for more frequent repainting, potentially making it a less cost-effective option in the long run. The lower durability means replacing it sooner than other siding options, something you may be looking to avoid doing in the future.
