Siding Wars: James Hardie® VS LP SmartSide® VS Mastic® Quest (Vinyl)

Siding Wars: James Hardie® VS LP SmartSide® VS Mastic® Quest (Vinyl)

Did you know there is a siding war going in on in America? There are few companies making claims that there are the best choice, attacking each other and throwing punches at competitors reputation.
We have decided to put top three Siding Brands head to head to see who will win overall comparison in ten different test: durability, fire resistance, termite resistance, paint finish, maintenance, overall warranty, cost, installation, and safety.
We rated each product and positioned each other per their performance accordingly. In each category each siding product could become number 1, 2, or 3. The less points overall gets you to better overall score.
The results? Looks like we have a tie. Both James Hardie and Mastic Quest earned 17 points, and LP got 24 overall.
All three products have weaknesses and strong points, but we wanted to rate them from consumer perspective and we think results are where they needs to be. No one scored "1" in each category, and no one got "3" in each. Results are results, and numbers don't lie. The best options on the market are Most popular, cheaper and maintenance free Vinyl Siding as well as more expensive, better looking James Hardie siding.

Owner Summit Remodeling, Co. , been in business 35 years , was involved with the LP removal and replace fiasco, most were done with James Hardie, Cedarmill planks , all still doing fine today ! Here in the NW , moisture is the big issue , fibre cement handles that problem and holds paint very well !

We had the older version of LP on our house. The 4x8 sheets and it all started to rot from the ground up about a foot. We painted about every 4 to 5 years but it didn't matter., they sent an LP guy out and the cut us a check based on the depreciated value. The whole process took about 9 months. They sent us $250, yeah that's it.

If you install James Hardie, buy a fiberboard shear tool for cutting, the dust from a circular saw is terrible (almost no dust from a shear). I've had Hardie Plank on my house for 15 years no problems whatsoever the neighbors have replaced their cheap vinyl several times due to hail damage.

[@pennylane36]

Also if you decide to install James hardie invest in something called gecko gauge. It is a hands free tool that holds the board in place if you are doing the job yourself

[@johnbielick2700]

Enjoyed your systematic breakdown of each product. I definitely feel better educated about each choice. To be fair,?though, I would have liked to hear more about the hardie warranty.

Excellent video. Thanks for the overview of the three products. Very helpful to the consumer to see the different aspects of each choice discussed and rated.

[@mariae.2670]

This was really helpful. Thanks

[@jdfarm1]

Thanks. I am a carpenter as well and I have vinyl on my house and try to steer customers that direction as well. Another plus is that if a piece of vinyl gets damaged, it is much easier to replace than the other 2 options.

[@BJHMedia]

Thank you for posting video, video is informative and help making decisions.

[@infomercialguy]

Great video! This is very helpful. You guys seem awesome.

That and Diamond Kote added in a rigid spline to the back of their boards which allows a single person to install an entire board and as long as the start board is level every other piece will be as well

[@jillschwartz637]

Informative video. I was wondering if you could give your opinion on which product would be best only in regard to woodpeckers trying to make nesting holes. Which has been found to be least attractive to them, and which gives best resistance? We currently have areas of synthetic stucco and its been a nightmare. Its seems that the sound they get from the stucco is very attractive to them, and then they easily break through the outer layer (almost within minutes) , dig out the styrofoam and then nest. No sooner to we get rid of one and fix the hole and another comes along and makes more big holes. (I would highly discourage anyone from synthetic stucco after what we have been through!)

[@Darrenbrown09]

Terminates are enough reason for me to choose fiber board! Great video really helped me decide!

[@JasonRauschelbach]

Excellent video, from a consumers perspective. I would like to know more about your reasoning behind ranking the mastic board number one for safety. Thanks again guys!

[@hausauerj]

Home come no one includes Seamless Steel in these comparisons?

[@caseywingate8385]

Very Good Video but you forgot that LP Has partnered with Diamond Kote for paint finish and now has a 30 Year no fade guarantee.

[@razaaztlantexican]
