Does Fiber Cement Siding Raise Home Value?

Does-Fiber-Cement-Siding-Raise-Home-Value

Replacing home siding is a big job, both in terms of the work and the investment. Therefore, it’s typically not a project that’s pursued for “want” purposes, like adding a deck, but rather it’s a “need” sort of job. And while you may not be too keen on moving forward with such an intensive renovation if your home needs new siding, try to look at the bright side: Updating your home’s siding can increase its value, particularly if you opt for fiber cement siding.

There are many benefits of fiber cement siding, and these all add up to an increase in home value. Consider that fiber cement siding will:

Increase Curb Appeal

Of all the ways new siding can benefit your home, the most apparent is a facelift for your home’s exterior. Pristine new cladding can do wonders for curb appeal, and fiber cement siding is no exception. In fact, this type of siding, manufactured by James Hardie®, is available with ColorPlus™ technology, which essentially means the color is baked into the siding. The result is a vibrant new color that maintains its like-new appearance for decades, resisting fading from the sun.

Improve Energy Efficiency

James Hardie fiber cement siding is formulated for optimal thermal performance for your local region. It will wrap your home in insulation, minimizing heat transfer and allowing your heating and cooling system to run more efficiently, potentially lowering your monthly energy bills.

Protect Your Home

Perhaps the best feature of fiber cement siding is its nearly indestructible build. Unlike vinyl siding, fiber cement siding will never swell or crack. It will not warp due to changes in temperature and humidity, and it is resistant to mold and mildew growth. Additionally, it holds no interest for termites, and its ultra-durable construction will stave off damage from hail, woodpeckers, and flying debris. It is also noncombustible, a fact that may earn you a discount from your homeowners insurance company.

When you consider all these benefits, it’s easy to see how fiber cement siding can increase your home’s value.
