Call 1 (888) 973-5924 Explore the DetailsFiber cement siding is manufactured from a blend of cement, sand and cellulose fibers, formed into planks, panels or shingles. The result is a material that feels heavier and more substantial than lighter options, and it can be shaped and finished to resemble traditional lap siding, shingles or vertical panels.
Because it is dense, fiber cement is cut, handled and fastened differently from other siding. Boards are heavy, cutting generates fine dust that must be managed responsibly, and fastening has to follow the manufacturer's instructions closely. That is why we treat installation as skilled work and plan each step ahead of time.
The finish matters too. Many fiber cement products arrive primed or prefinished, and the final coating plays a major role in how the wall looks and holds up over time. We discuss color and finish choices with you early so there are no surprises once the work is underway.
Like all siding, fiber cement only performs as part of a complete wall system. A weather barrier, careful flashing at openings and proper clearances at the ground and roof edges all help keep moisture out of the structure. In South Charleston, WV, where rain and humidity are part of life, those details deserve attention.

Available in lap, shingle and panel looks so the house keeps its character.
Wall system first
Barrier, flashing and clearances protect the structure behind the cladding.
Finish choices
Primed or prefinished boards affect color options, coating needs and long term care.
Cutting with care
Dust control and the right tools keep the job site safe and the edges clean.
