Our 30+ year old house is in need of new siding. Originally done with a Certainteed pressboard siding, it is really starting to deteriorate.

    Pro: can be painted any color you like, is fireproof. Con: takes a lot of angle cuts to install, is not maintenance-free, special tool needed for cutting (electric snips)...it can be cut with miter saw, but blades dull quickly because it is a cement-based product.
