Hardie Board Siding: The Cons
Needs Painting - Heavy Product
High Installation and Labor Costs
High Installation and Labor Costs
What’s not to like about hardie board siding? Two things stand out. First of all, because of its weight, the siding requires more resources to install than other siding materials. Second, it’s not a maintenance-free siding material. You will have to repaint it in time.
High Installation and Labor Costs
High Installation and Labor Costs
High Installation and Labor Costs
Hardie board siding requires more planning, a larger labor force, and takes longer to install due to its composition. It weighs about 300 pounds (100 square feet) compared to 60 to 70 pounds for vinyl siding. This can increase labor and installation costs as compared to vinyl or aluminum siding.
Maintenance
High Installation and Labor Costs
Limited Warranty
It has to be re-painted periodically. Although the warranty is usually for 50 years, hardie board siding finishes are only guaranteed for 15 years..

In accordance to
Remodeling Magazine (Cost vs. Value 2019 Annual Report) siding projects of approximately 1,250 square feet – Hardie board siding runs approximately $3.00-5.25 per foot, however, our competitors we have seen are double or even triple that price! NO JOKING! To boot, this doesn’t even include removing off the old siding and hauling it away. But our prices do. Still, this could lead to a total cost that are higher than other siding choices. You have to consider the amount of siding you’ll need, how long it will take and any additional fees for equipment and materials. However, if the pros speak to you more than the cons, the price doesn’t matter that much.
