Both Hardie plank siding and vinyl siding are tough and long-lasting options that can stand up to our Coastal Florida elements, and they're comparable in cost, but there are many areas where Hardie siding comes out on top as the better choice for your Jacksonville property. Hardie plank mimics the look of natural wood and while it comes in a variety of pre-painted colors and design options, it's also easy to custom-tailor to fit your design specifications.
Vinyl siding can become discolored under the harsh Florida UV rays, it's susceptible to storm damage, and doesn't handle temperature fluctuations well, whereas Hardie siding is the preferred choice for storm-prone areas where it holds up without warping. When you factor in the longer lifespan and lower environmental impact that Hardie siding offers, it's easy to see why it's the preferred choice for the Jacksonville area.
