Fixing Fiber Cement Siding

You made the right choice when you select fiber Cement Siding for your home. From time to time due to weather conditions such as extreme heat, high winds, rain or debris your fiber cement siding can become damaged and in need of repairs.

Fiber cement siding is one of the best forms of siding on the market today. It is not only strong and durable but withstands the test of time compared to other forms of siding. Fiber Cement siding comes in a variety of styles and textures and can also replicate any type of surface as well it is flame-resistant as well as insect-resistant.

Fiber Cement when working with is not easy and because of its strength is not easy to cut. If you cutting the siding with a circular saw expect a lot of flying debris. Also, you need to watch that the fiber cement does not bow or snap while carrying it.
When having to remove a board that is damaged you need the first step is to remove all nails from the damaged board. The nails are usually located in the overlapped siding above. You then need to use a pry bar to remove the damaged piece of siding making sure you do not damage other boards in the removal process.

Fiber Cement Repair Kit

For fixing holes in the fiber cement, often repair kits are used to plug holes or cracks in the fiber cement. First, the area is dried and the patch is mixed, formed, and spread to match the contours of the board. After drying you need to sand it and blend it into the surrounding planks.
To say the least a DIY for fixing fiber cement might be something that should be left for a professional siding installation company who has the right tools and knows what the best products on the market are to use to fix or replace your fiber cement siding.
