It’s siding season, and many people are looking around at their options for new cladding for their homes before another Minneapolis winter. Whether your home suffered from hail damage when the latest round of severe weather rolled through or it’s just time for an upgrade, fiber cement siding can give you the long and short term advantages you’re looking for.
Return on Investment for Fiber Cement Siding
If you’re ready to sell your home, installing fiber cement siding is the way to go. According to the Remodeling 2012-2013 Cost versus Value Report, this type of remodeling project comes in the number one spot for the 8th year running. When compared to other types of remodeling projects, fiber cement ranks at the top of the scale with a ROI of 79%. Foam backed vinyl siding and installing vinyl windows are next best at 71%.
This makes sense, because it’s extremely durable and resistant to things like high temperatures, insects and moisture. James Hardie also formulates its siding according to the climate in which the home exists. Minnesota homes with fiber cement siding are made much more resistant to the moist heat of our summers and icy cold of our winters. Keep in mind that the coordinating fascia and trim is also made out of the same fiber cement as the siding installed. Because it’s so durable, it’s also extremely low maintenance, requiring only a cleaning a couple of times a year.
James Hardie Siding Has Great Curb Appeal
This type of siding also helps with curb appeal, because it gives the house an upscale look. You can get it in many textures, including stucco and in a wide range of colors, chosen with the help of well known color specialist, Leslie Harrington. The paint is specially formulated for fiber cement, and baked on at the factory to ensure the highest level of durability with least amount of fading.
