Fiber Cement Siding
For those who want the appearance of wood siding, but don’t want the hassles and costs associated with it, fiber cement siding may be a good choice as an alternative. The market share of these products is approaching 10 percent, but the technology is almost a century old! Available in a variety of textures, fiber cement siding is more durable than wood. It’s also termite-resistant, water-resistant, and non-combustible and warranted to last fifty years!
Composed of cement, sand and cellulose fiber that has been cured with pressurized steam to increase its strength and dimensional stability. The fiber reinforces the product and prevents cracking. This siding product will protect your home from rot, fire, wind and insects.
Invented in France, fiber cement siding was exported throughout the world, including America, where many old homes have the product as part of their original exterior walls and roofs. These original products contained asbestos in the mix, but when asbestos was found to be dangerous, cellulose was substituted.
An advantage of fiber cement siding is its attractiveness and variety of styles that have embossed wood grained texture, stucco or smooth finish. These products are combined with various types of vinyl trim to block the weather. Vinyl ventilation accessories may also be utilized and painted as you wish.
Another benefit of fiber cement siding is the virtually unlimited choice of colors provided by water-based acrylic paint, which grips these products very well and doesn’t peel because the products do not expand and contract like wood. Paint typically lasts up to 15 years. Stains may also be applied to these products.
Finally, fiber cement siding is competitively priced, generally costing slightly less than the highest quality vinyl siding.

Here is what has been said about our Siding Contractors:
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to come out to my house to assess my damage and to explain my options to me. The guys that came out to do the work were very professional and very nice. They did a beautiful job and I wanted them and you to know that we really appreciate their work. It looks very nice - and now we no longer have birds building nests up in our attic (smile). Thanks again for always being so helpful.
Dear Danny,
My husband and I wish to thank you and your company for the beautiful job you have done on our house.
You and your company certainly live by the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is exactly what you did for us.
We had so called professionals work on the house before, the result was a disaster. My daughter-in-law came to our rescue by giving us your name and phone number.
You came and talk to us face to face giving us ideas for repairing and fixing our home.
The job done by you is perfect. I am so happy with the windows and doors installed by your Integrity. There are no gaps, no sags, and no drafts. I highly recommend you to anyone wishing to have work done on their home. Your phone number is in our phone book, ready to be dialed when your service is needed. We once more thank you for a job well done. Your service was courteous, polite and friendly.
We wish you well,
Best regards,
Jim and Madeleine Witten
