Fiber Cement Siding by RemodelPro

Fiber cement siding is made from cement, sand and cellulose fibers, pressed into boards and panels that mimic wood clapboard, shingles and board-and-batten. It doesn't burn, doesn't rot, doesn't attract termites and barely moves with temperature changes, which helps paint last longer.

Those strengths come with weight. Fiber cement is heavy, requires specialized cutting tools and dust control, and must be handled carefully to avoid breakage. It's a material that rewards experienced installers who follow the manufacturer's requirements for clearances, fastening and joint treatment.

Fiber cement is available primed for painting or with a durable factory-applied finish. Factory finishes offer consistent color and long repaint intervals, while primed boards give you unlimited color choice.

Benefits of fiber cement siding

Non-combustible

Fiber cement won't ignite, making it a smart choice where wildfire or neighboring structures are a concern.

Pest and rot proof

Insects and woodpeckers have no interest in it, and it won't decay.

Dimensionally stable

It moves very little with heat and cold, so paint and caulk joints stay tighter.

Weather tough

Resists wind, hail, sun and moisture when installed with proper clearances.

Crisp, realistic profiles

Sharp shadow lines and deep textures read as high-quality painted wood.

Long-lasting finishes

Factory-applied finishes resist fading and extend the time between repaints.

Is fiber cement right for your home?

Fiber cement is an excellent fit if you want a substantial, painted-wood look, plan to stay in your home long-term, and value durability over the lowest upfront cost. It's especially popular on traditional and craftsman-style homes, and in areas with intense sun, high humidity or fire risk.

Because of its weight and the care needed during installation, fiber cement typically costs more to install than vinyl. We'll help you weigh that investment against its long service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does fiber cement need painting?

Yes, eventually. Factory-finished boards often hold their color for many years before repainting is needed. Primed boards should be painted shortly after installation.

Is fiber cement siding heavy?

It's considerably heavier than vinyl or engineered wood. Standard wall framing supports it without issue, but installation requires careful handling and proper fastening.

Is cutting fiber cement dangerous?

Cutting produces fine dust that shouldn't be inhaled. Our crews use dust-reducing shears and saws with collection, cut outdoors, and follow safe work practices.

Can fiber cement crack?

It can crack from a severe impact or improper handling, but it resists everyday bumps and hail well. Damaged boards can be replaced individually.

How should fiber cement be maintained?

Rinse it occasionally, check caulked joints every year or two, and keep sprinklers from hitting the walls. Touch up any chips so the core stays protected.
