Fiber cement is typically considered to be the lowest-maintenance siding option. This type of siding is generally stronger than vinyl siding or other popular choices, so it often needs fewer repairs or other adjustments. Although fiber cement siding is still susceptible to weather damage, like any other type of siding, it tends to be somewhat more resistant to the elements than many cheaper options.

Although installing new siding over old siding under some circumstances may be possible, we usually do not recommend this option. “Old” siding still in like-new condition can be an acceptable base layer. Still, any damage to your old siding will typically mean that your new siding will not be as secure. For example, if you decide shortly after having new siding placed that you do not like it from an aesthetic standpoint, but its condition is still excellent, covering it up may work well for you, but burying mold, rotten siding, warping, or other problems instead of removing them will lead to more significant damage.

Aluminum or wood siding typically lasts longer than other materials. These options can easily last 20-40 years or longer if properly maintained, which is significantly longer than what you are likely to get from vinyl siding or other basic materials. Of course, certain factors can impact the length of time you can expect your siding to last, such as the type of paint you use and the typical weather in your neighborhood. Still, you can expect these options to give you the best value for your money if you prioritize choosing siding that you will not need to replace soon.

White siding typically gives your home the highest resale value. This classic option works well for many new homeowners on its own. It can also be an ideal choice for buyers interested in a light option that will be easy to cover with a color of their choice. Suppose you are interested in siding with a more unique appearance than typical vinyl siding. In that case, brick siding is another strong option for adding value to your home and increasing the amount you can obtain if you decide to sell your home in the future.
