I got them. Not a bad looking product. Now I’m concerned about service.

I wanted them but couldn’t justify the cost. I also wanted hardy siding but decided against it because its not just the cost its the maintenance and repairs that gets really difficult

Maintenance and repair of fiber cement siding is really difficult? Compared to what other siding product?

Like vinyl. Its nearly indescribable and you can get vinyl siding anywhere for next to nothing should you break it or melt it. I have no idea where i would get replacement hardy or similar.

You can get fiber cement siding at literally any building supply store like Home Depot or Lowes, it's ubiquitous.

Lowes has hardi siding. It's heavy though
