How long does siding really last? Here’s a quick breakdown from real experience. 🔍
Cedar siding can last 20 to 30 years, but it requires regular painting or staining to keep it protected. Aluminum siding holds up around 30 to 40 years, but it can fade and dent over time. Vinyl siding typically lasts 25 to 40 years, though fading is common and repainting isn’t always recommended.
Fiber cement siding, like James Hardie siding, stands out with 30+ years of durability and baked on color that resists fading. A strong, low maintenance option for long term performance. 🏠
