Fiber Cement Siding Installation

A tough, paintable siding that stands up to storms, sun and pests and gives your home the look of fine painted wood.

Fiber cement is a blend of cement, sand and cellulose fibers pressed into planks, panels and shingles. It does not rot like wood, is not a meal for termites, and shrugs off the hail, wind and humidity that wear down other materials. Painted at the factory or on site, it keeps crisp edges and rich color, which is why it is a favorite on modern farmhouses and upscale new builds around Nashville and Williamson County.

It is also heavier and harder to work with than vinyl, and it needs correct installation to perform. Cuts must be made with the right blades and dust control, joints need flashing, and nails go where the manufacturer specifies. Every cut edge must be sealed and the bottom edges kept off the roof and the ground. We install it carefully, prime and paint or choose pre-finished boards, caulk the right joints and leave you with a wall that looks great and stays that way with only periodic cleaning and repainting.

Storm and pest resistant

It resists rot, termites and woodpeckers and does not melt or warp in the sun.

Painted wood look

Smooth, textured or shake profiles give the look of fine wood with much less upkeep.

Careful cutting

Dust control and the right blades protect the crew, the home and the edges of every board.

Sealed and flashed

Cut edges are sealed and joints flashed so moisture does not wick into the board.

Questions

Fiber Cement Siding FAQ

Does fiber cement need painting?

It needs a good finish. Factory-painted boards last a long time, and site-painted siding is usually recoated every several years or more.

Is it fireproof?

It does not burn the way wood does, but no siding makes a house fireproof.

Why does it cost more than vinyl?

The material, the weight, the cutting and the finishing all add time and expense, but many owners value the durability and look.

Will it crack in hail?

It handles most hail very well, though a severe storm can still chip or crack a board.

Can fiber cement be installed in any season?

Yes, with attention to temperature and moisture when painting and caulking.
