HardiePlank Pricing

Whether it’s at a home show or a prospective customers house I’m always asked, “how does the price of HardiePlank compare to vinyl siding?”  I wish I had a standard answer for that question but I don’t. 

We have a customer who wanted a HardiePlank quote from a local company who not only quoted HardiePlank, but quoted vinyl as well.  He then received our price for HardiePlank.  He was shocked to find that our price for HardiePlank was half the price he received from the other company and barely more than the vinyl price he was given.

Truthfully, HardiePlank siding should be 40% higher in price than vinyl siding (per the manufacturer, James Hardie Building Products) because the material and labor costs more.  Unfortunately, the Central Virginia market is conditioned to buy vinyl siding because of the lack of fiber cement specialists. 

Our customer was priced way too high with HardiePlank because the company wanted to sell vinyl all along!  These companies have been conditioning the market with inflated vinyl prices and have to inflate fiber cement prices to astronomical numbers to justify their vinyl prices!

We say NO MORE!  Blue Ridge Exteriors specializes in residential fiber cement installation.  We don’t even offer vinyl siding.  To get a fair price for HardiePlank siding for your home call us at 804.405.3683.
