Cons
Everything has its cons, and in the case of James Hardie products, they are:
Initial Investment
It costs more than standard vinyl siding, but in the long run, it all works out cheaper.
It’s just whether you have the initial budget to fund it. (The investment does boost curb appeal and resale value, though, so if you can afford it, it’s worth it.)
Longer Installation Process
Due to the materials being heavyweight, the installation process will take a Seattle siding contractor longer than regular siding.
