Fiber cement siding is one of the best “set it and forget it” exterior upgrades for Rhode Island homeowners who want durability without sacrificing curb appeal. It holds up well in coastal conditions, handles temperature swings, and gives you a clean, finished look that works on everything from classic New England colonials to modern renovations.
Bucci Roofing+LLC installs fiber cement siding for homeowners across Rhode Island who want a stronger, longer-lasting exterior system. If you are comparing materials or trying to decide between repair vs. replacement, we can help you make a practical choice based on your home, your budget, and the kind of maintenance you want long term.
Rhode Island siding has to deal with a lot: wind-driven rain, salty coastal air, summer UV exposure, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. Fiber cement is popular because it is built to perform in exactly those conditions.
Here is what homeowners tend to like most:
Fiber cement is not “maintenance-free,” but when it is installed correctly and finished properly, it can reduce the constant touch-ups that many Rhode Island homeowners are used to.
Fiber cement is versatile, which is part of its appeal. At Bucci Roofing+LLC, we commonly install:
Lap Siding (Clapboard Look)
A great fit for traditional Rhode Island homes. It delivers the classic horizontal profile with a strong, clean finish.
Shingle and Shake-Style Panels
Ideal for gables, dormers, and accents when you want that coastal cottage look without the same upkeep concerns as wood shakes.
Board and Batten
A popular option for modern farmhouse exteriors and remodels. It adds vertical lines and a bold architectural style.
If you are not sure what works best for your home, we can help you choose a layout that fits your architecture and looks balanced with your trim, roofing, and windows.
Fiber cement is durable, but it is not forgiving. The performance of the siding system depends on the details behind it.
Bucci Roofing+LLC approaches fiber cement as a full exterior assembly, not just boards on a wall. That means careful attention to:
This is the difference between siding that simply looks good and siding that protects your home for years.
Not every situation calls for full replacement. If your existing siding has localized damage, you may be able to repair sections and extend the life of the exterior.
Replacement may be the better option when you are dealing with:
If you are unsure which direction is smarter, Bucci Roofing+LLC can assess the current condition and give you an honest recommendation.
Is fiber cement siding good for coastal homes?
Yes. Fiber cement is often chosen for coastal areas because it handles moisture, wind exposure, and sun better than many traditional materials. Correct installation and proper flashing are still essential, especially in Rhode Island’s coastal weather.
How long does fiber cement siding last?
Longevity depends on installation quality, exposure, and maintenance, but fiber cement is widely considered a long-lasting siding option when properly installed and maintained.
Does fiber cement siding need to be painted?
Many fiber cement products come prefinished, while others are painted after installation. Either way, the finish matters. A proper finish helps protect the surface and keeps the siding looking sharp long term.
Is fiber cement better than vinyl?
It depends on your goals. Vinyl is often lower cost and low maintenance. Fiber cement is typically chosen for a more “solid” look, stronger durability, and better performance in demanding conditions. We can walk you through both options based on your home and budget.
