Is Hardie Plank Siding Worth It?

Is Hardie Plank siding worth it?
Here are three strong reasons to consider it for your home:
- It’s eco-friendly, pest-, water-, and fire-resistant, and durable against hail and harsh weather.
- It holds up its color for decades, with little maintenance required.
- It resists warping, shrinking, and swelling.
Plus, it can mimic real wood in look and feel, if you’re after that aesthetic. You can also paint it.
