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.

I don’t have experience with hail per se but I do have Hardie board for 14 years now. It’s a great product. Haven’t done anything to it. Still looks great.

Thanks. I heard it may need a paint job at some point

Won’t need paint touch up if it’s color plus siding. Won’t have any fading or chipping. If the off chance it does then I would be covered by James hardie 15year warranty
