  • Depends on where you live and what look you are trying to achieve. Take a look around your neighborhood and see what others may have used. Call your insurance agent and see if one is better than the other if it would make a difference on your homeowners insurance premium.

    Cement board you have to paint and paint again. Siding, vinyl will last for years without doing anything except hosing it off in the summer. You can insulate under the siding which should be done anyway when they are putting the siding up. It is about 3/8 inch urethane sheets that they apply, then the siding. That is what we did 12 years ago and is still perfect. Stopped the cold walls in the winter in Cincinnati, OH.

    First check with your HOA. If you don't have one, decide what style you want. A lot of the siding comes with a foam backer for extra insulation. If there is a Home Show around go to it and see all the new sidings out there. There is vinyl log siding and about anything you want.
