Installing Fiber Cement Siding – Hire an Expert or Do It Yourself?
While fiber cement siding installation is not a highly technical project, you may want to consider our expert advice before visiting a local home improvement store and starting your new endeavor.
- To install fiber cement siding, you will need specialized tools. Therefore, if you seek to save money on labor costs, consider how much you will need to spend to purchase other materials (including special tools and equipment) to make your project successful.
- Fiber cement siding installation is a specialized project. It’s harder to install than vinyl siding. Fiber cement planks are not always equal in size, and you need to gauge your building and trim materials. Are you ready to face all challenges?
- Moisture, weather conditions, and sunlight are other factors you must consider before installing fiber cement siding. While your freshly painted construction site may look excellent, some defects can appear months or even years later. It is also easier to maintain fiber cement siding that was installed correctly.
- Consider safety! Are you ready to install fiber cement siding? Fiber cement is heavier than vinyl, making it more difficult to install. Did you consider large, heavy pieces of material often hampering climbing ladders? In addition, installing fiber cement siding in hard-to-reach areas is neither easy nor secure.
We want to ensure you make an informed decision before starting your new project. Even selecting quality fiber cement siding brands does not guarantee success. Do not hesitate to ask for further assistance!

Asbestos siding was a popular material for exterior home construction in North America, particularly in the 1950s through 1970s. It was primarily used because it was inexpensive and long-lasting, but many people are now aware of the risks associated with asbestos exposure.How to Identify Asbestos
Asbestos siding can be difficult to distinguish from safer alternatives because it was made to look the same.
However, most homes constructed after 1980 will not have asbestos siding. But if you live in an older home, and suspect that it contains asbestos, take the following steps:Test Your Siding
The best way to identify asbestos is by sending samples for testing. Because it’s difficult to tell if it’s present with an eye test, this is the only way that you can be 100% certain. In order to get your siding tested for asbestos, you need to send a sample to a qualified laboratory. To remove a piece of siding from your home, you can use a zip tool.However you can also,Look for fibers that are “ropey” or “curled” in appearance: This is one of the most common methods of asbestos detection. If you notice this texture, you’re probably dealing with a product containing asbestos.Check for a company label: It’s not always easy to tell what type of material is being used on your house from the outside, but if you do see a company label, it might say “asbestos” somewhere on it.Hire a Professional Siding Contractor
If you’re not familiar with this process, you should have a siding contractor inspect your home. They will be able to detect asbestos more easily and collect appropriate samples for testing. And if you need a siding company that you can trust, Volpe Enterprises has your back. Established in 1970, we’ve been the go to siding experts in your area for over 50 years.
