Vinyl vs fiber cement — which should I pick?
Vinyl is cheaper and low-maintenance; fiber cement costs 50–80% more but resists fire, rot and impact, holds paint for 10–15 years, and adds more resale value. Fiber cement is popular in wildfire and high-humidity regions.
Does new siding add home value?
Yes — exterior siding is consistently one of the highest-ROI remodels, often recouping 60–80% of its cost at resale, with fiber cement typically at the top of that range.
