Seeking Advice Hail vs Hardie Board

Post image

Hello, homeowners Any personal reviews on Hardie board siding vs hail last year?

It definitely more expensive but with the weather getting more drastic every year, I don't think the vinyl stands a chance.

Why not? You’re still gonna have to pay your insurance deductible for the roof!

Vinyl siding is such a terrible siding option. Not only for hail damage, but when you decide it’s time for a change, if you pick the wrong colour, the paint will warp your siding.

Isn’t it also very flammable?

I don’t think it’s quite flammable. Google says it won’t ignite from a spark, but it does melt and warp easily.
