The Benefits of Fiber Cement Siding in New England

Why Fiber Cement Siding it's a Smart Investment for CT Homeowners

When it comes to protecting your home in New England’s unpredictable climate, siding plays a vital role. From the snowy winters to the salty coastal air, your home’s exterior needs to be tough, beautiful, and built to last. That’s where fiber cement siding shines—especially for homeowners in Fairfield and New Haven Counties.

At Marut Home Improvement, we’ve helped countless Connecticut homeowners upgrade their homes with fiber cement siding, and the results speak for themselves. Let’s dive into the top benefits of this high-performance material—and why it’s the perfect fit for New England homes. 👇

❄️ 1. Built to Withstand Harsh New England Weather

Connecticut weather can be extreme—icy winters, humid summers, and the occasional nor’easter. Fiber cement siding is specifically engineered to endure:

  • ❄️ Freezing temperatures and heavy snow

  • 🌧️ Rain and moisture without swelling or rotting

  • 💨 High winds and storms common along the coast

Unlike wood or vinyl, fiber cement won’t crack, warp, or melt, making it an ideal choice for long-term durability in New England.

🔥 2. Fire and Pest Resistance = Peace of Mind

In addition to its weather resistance, fiber cement is non-combustible. That means:

  • 🔥 It won’t ignite when exposed to fire or heat

  • 🐛 It’s resistant to termites, carpenter ants, and other pests

This is especially important in older Connecticut neighborhoods where fire safety and structural integrity are top concerns.

🧱 3. Real Wood Look—Without the Maintenance

Homeowners in Fairfield and New Haven Counties love the classic charm of cedar siding—but not the upkeep. With fiber cement siding, you get:

  • A realistic wood-grain texture

  • A wide variety of colors and finishes

  • Long-lasting paint adhesion for vibrant curb appeal

James Hardie siding, our top fiber cement brand, offers a 25-year color warranty, and it doesn’t require frequent repainting or sealing. That’s less maintenance, more weekend freedom. 😎

💰 4. Excellent Long-Term Value

Fiber cement siding offers one of the best returns on investment for siding materials:

  • 💵 Increased home value

  • 💪 Longer lifespan (up to 50 years!)

  • 🛠️ Lower maintenance costs over time

In fact, Remodeling Magazine consistently lists fiber cement siding among the top remodeling projects for ROI—especially in the Northeast.

🌱 5. Environmentally Friendly Option

Sustainability matters more than ever. Fiber cement siding is made from natural, recyclable materials like cement, sand, and cellulose. It’s a great choice for homeowners looking to make eco-conscious upgrades.

Plus, choosing a long-lasting material reduces the need for future replacements, which means less waste and a smaller environmental footprint.

Chris recently installed three doors at a client of mine's home in their 3-season room. The doors and trim look great, and Chris was very responsive throughout the process of choosing doors and installing. There was a quick timeline as the home was a few days out from being listed on the market and Chris was able to quickly and efficiently install the doors on time. Would recommend Chris and hope to work with him again in the future!

Recently Chris Marut and his team did an excellent job on my house and installed CertainTeed monogram siding, new gutter and new front railing. My 40 years old house looks brand new now. I received many compliments from my neighbors and friends on the new look of the house. I had a tight deadline and asked Chis if he could complete the work within my time frame. When he said yes, I was a little skeptical as it was middle of winter. But Chis kept his word, worked during freezing temperature and completed the work as promised. I found Chis as an honest and pleasant person to deal with. His price was also reasonable. I wish I could give him 10 Stars. Highly recommend Marut Home Improvement to everyone.

Chris did a great job fixing our gutters, adding leaf guards, and fixed some damaged siding. Pricing is reasonable and was great at getting back to us/communicating by text which makes everything easier. Will definitely work with him again on future home improvement projects.

Highly recommend Chris Markut ! I have a 9 foot ceiling basement that only had 2 small windows, very dark and no sunlight. Chris and his crew Radek and Jose added 5 brand new windows that added so much sunlight. This job was tricky with removing and replacing siding, working with ceiling pipes in the basement. They did an excellent job , very nice to work with , explained or asked questions to make sure I liked what they were doing. The entire area inside and outside was left spotless!
