Vinyl and fiber cement are the two most popular siding choices in Niagara — and for good reason. Both look great and protect your home, but they suit different budgets and priorities. Here’s how they compare.
Vinyl siding
Affordable, low-maintenance, and available in dozens of colours, vinyl is the go-to for homeowners who want a clean look without a premium price tag.
Fiber cement
Fiber cement (like James Hardie) is more durable and fire-resistant, with a premium finish that mimics natural wood. It costs more up front but lasts longer and adds resale value.
- Budget-first? Vinyl gives the best value per square foot.
- Longevity-first? Fiber cement wins on durability and looks.
