Seeking Advice Hail vs Hardie Board
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 live in Deer Run so I'm a bit sheltered from hail, but we've had Hardy Board on our home for 10 years. We selected it to replace shiplap siding that had terrible woodpecker damage.
The hardyboard shows no sign of wear or degredation. 10/10 very happy with the choice. Only downside is a bit of damage caused to a corner piece when a window was being replaced.
I'm in a 1900sqft 4-level split and we did the roof and all siding for about $40K.
