James Hardie siding (generically known as fiber cement), natural wood, and vinyl siding are the most popular siding materials in the El Paso area. Each of these products offers a variety of advantages and disadvantages, and each is best suited to a particular situation and homeowner. One of the major differences between these types of siding is their upkeep. vinyl is the easiest to take care of—all it requires is a hosing down every once in awhile. Fiber cement is up next—it too requires only water, but the water has to come from a power washer in order to get the job done properly. Most difficult to keep up with is natural wood siding. As a natural material, it is somewhat more difficult to clean and requires regular treatment to deter rot and pests.
