Should I choose fiber cement or vinyl siding for my Avon, MA home?

Fiber cement outperforms vinyl across every key category for South Shore homeowners.

Vinyl costs less upfront — fiber cement delivers far more value over time in New England.

Fiber Cement vs. Vinyl: Key Differences

Thickness: Hardie is five times thicker than vinyl, resisting hail and debris that vinyl cracks under.
Does Vinyl Siding Fade? Yes — within five years. ColorPlus Technology carries a 15-year fade warranty.
Fire Performance: Vinyl melts and releases toxic fumes. Hardie’s Class A fire rating slows flame spread — not fireproof, but critical.
Temperature: Vinyl cracks in Massachusetts winters and distorts in heat. Fiber cement holds its shape year-round.
ROI: Fiber cement delivers 144% ROI in New England vs. 97% for vinyl.
Average Investment: National average is $20,678 for fiber cement vs. $17,590for vinyl — vinyl’s repainting cost of up to $12,000 narrows that gap.

Option	Pros	Cons	Avg. Cost
Fiber Cement	144% ROI, 30-yr warranty	Higher upfront	$20,678
Vinyl	Lower upfront	Fades, cracks, toxic fumes	$17,590
