Expert Fiber Cement Siding Services in Lake County
Fiber cement siding has revolutionized home exteriors by delivering the authentic look of painted wood with none of the maintenance headaches. Made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, it's engineered to withstand the elements while looking beautiful for decades.
At Pro Specialty Services, we're experienced fiber cement installers who understand this material's specific requirements. Proper cutting, fastening, and finishing are critical—fiber cement is unforgiving of shortcuts.
For homeowners who want premium appearance and maximum durability without the constant maintenance of wood, fiber cement offers the ideal solution. It's the siding choice for those who refuse to compromise.
Compare fiber cement to vinyl siding, James Hardie brand, LP SmartSide, and composite/PVC siding. Read our siding comparison guide.
Why Fiber Cement Is the Premium Choice
Durability is fiber cement's defining characteristic. It doesn't rot, won't be eaten by termites or carpenter ants, and resists impact damage that would dent or crack vinyl. In Florida's challenging environment, this resilience matters.
Authentic appearance sets fiber cement apart. The textures genuinely replicate wood grain, and the material holds paint beautifully for 15+ years between repainting. From the curb, fiber cement looks like the finest painted wood siding.
Fire resistance provides peace of mind and potential insurance savings. Fiber cement is non-combustible and won't ignite from flying embers or spread fire. It's Class A fire rated—the highest available.

Common Questions
Fiber cement typically lasts 50+ years—often outlasting the home itself. The material is extremely durable; repainting every 15-20 years is the main maintenance requirement.
Factory-primed fiber cement needs painting during installation. Pre-finished fiber cement (like James Hardie ColorPlus) comes factory-painted with 15-year color warranties. Both options perform well.
Yes, fiber cement is significantly heavier than vinyl or wood. This requires proper installation techniques and sometimes wall reinforcement. The weight also contributes to its durability and impact resistance.
Generally no—fiber cement should be installed over sheathing with proper housewrap. The weight and fastening requirements typically necessitate removing existing siding first.
Excellently. Fiber cement doesn't absorb water the way wood does, so it won't swell, warp, or rot in humid conditions. Proper installation with drainage plane ensures moisture doesn't get trapped behind it.
Fiber cement typically costs 50-100% more than <a href="/services/vinyl-siding">vinyl</a>, including installation. However, its durability, appearance, and fire resistance justify the premium for many homeowners.
