Why homeowners choose this
What actually decides the job
Boards are fastened, not hung. Fastening pattern and blind-nail versus face-nail is specified by the manufacturer and it is what the warranty is judged against.
Cut ends need sealing. Field cuts expose the core, and an unsealed end grain is the usual entry point for moisture in a fibre cement wall.
Ground clearance and roof-to-wall clearance are specified minimums. This is the detail most often missed on Ontario installs.
Cutting generates crystalline silica dust. Score-and-snap or a dust-collecting shear is the correct method, not a dry circular saw in the driveway.
What drives the price
Where the number comes from
Fibre cement carries a meaningfully higher labour cost than vinyl — heavier boards, dust control, and per-board fastening rather than hung courses.
What we find
Most common failures on London walls
Boards run tight to a deck or roof line with no clearance, wicking water into the core.
Overdriven fasteners that crush the board and break the weather seal.
Where fibre cement fits in Woodstock
Woodstock's older north end, around Vansittart Avenue, carries a substantial designated and listed heritage stock, and profile matters there in a way it does not in the subdivisions. Fibre cement and engineered wood are the materials that can be run in a profile sympathetic to the original wood cladding, which is why they come up on that side of town and vinyl generally does not.
The cost driver is also different. On those Victorian and Edwardian rooflines it is the gable and dormer detail that sets the labour, not the wall area, so a smaller house can price higher than a larger plain one. Designation status has to be verified on the specific address before anyone quotes a change to a street-facing elevation. The fibre cement siding in Woodstock page covers how that is handled.

Frequently asked questions
Fibre Cement and James Hardie Siding in London
Is fibre cement siding worth the extra cost in Ontario?
It holds colour longer, will not deform in heat, and takes impact far better than vinyl. The tradeoff is installed cost and a harder repair when a board does get damaged.
Does fibre cement siding need painting?
Factory-finished product arrives painted and carries a finish warranty. Primed-only product must be painted after install, usually within a specified window.
