Both Hardie Board and vinyl siding are great durable options for your home’s exterior. However, Hardie Board is much more expensive than vinyl siding. Many homeowners choose hardie because they come in wider planks which can create a much more solid and clean look for your home’s curb appeal. Hardie Board is a composite siding material which is a more solid material in comparison to vinyl siding which is more hollow. Because Hardie board is much denser (usually more than a quarter of an inch thick) it tends to be more resistant to wind damage and repairs. However, vinyl siding can last just as long and does not fade as much as Hardie Board. Hardie Board planks can still fade over a period of time and in some cases need to be repainted. Hardie Board is very popular amongst select homeowners but there are still many reasons why many homeowners decide to buy vinyl siding. Both are still great options for a homeowner; it just depends on what the homeowner is looking for and the budget they are looking to spend. At Aspen Home Improvements we offer both Hardie Board and Mastic vinyl siding. If your are interested in either product. feel free to contact us for a free consultation!
