There Is Siding And Then There is...James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

Plank wood siding is still in abundance in the Lowcountry area, albeit most of it is rotting and showing it's age.  Fiber cement siding is by far the best replacement for the maintenance prone wood lap siding.

Lap Siding

Plank is a popular and versatile option that works well on a wide range of different home styles. It holds up well, can look quite modern or very classic depending on how it is styled and what material it’s made of, and offers a wide variety of options.   While you could choose traditional cedar planks, you’re likely to find that fiber cement (James Hardie) is a better option for your Lowcountry home, since this material hold up very well even to a lot of humidity. 

Shingles And Shakes

Siding shingles may be the perfect solution if you have a historic home or a recently-built home that looks historic, but you don’t want to ruin the look with siding that appears too modern.  Mix it up and combine the styles!   These kinds of shingles look like natural wood, but they’re tough enough to handle this wet, warm climate. You can choose from a number of charming looks, including straight, scalloped and staggered, both of which look amazing on historic Savannah homes. 

Board And Batten

With its versatility, board and batten siding offers homeowners the opportunity to create a personalized aesthetic. By adjusting batten spacing and incorporating different materials or siding profiles, it is possible to achieve both modern and traditional looks.   This siding style creates a clean and multi-dimensional effect that is commonly used for a modern farmhouse style. It is often used on higher walls or gable walls.
