Fiber Cement Siding Hackensack NJ

Fiber Cement Siding Installation in Hackensack, NJ & Bergen County

Fiber cement siding has become one of the most popular exterior choices for North Jersey homeowners, and it’s easy to understand why. It looks great, holds paint well, doesn’t rot, and can handle New Jersey winters and summers without the maintenance headaches that come with wood or vinyl. At Plaster Pro Stucco Contractors, we install fiber cement siding throughout Hackensack, NJ and Bergen County — and we bring the same attention to detail to siding work that we bring to every exterior project.

We’re primarily known as a stucco and EIFS contractor in Hackensack, but fiber cement siding has been part of our exterior work for years. It’s often part of a larger residential stucco and siding services project — for example, when a homeowner is combining stucco accents with siding panels, or replacing a failed exterior system with a lower-maintenance alternative.

Why Fiber Cement Siding

Fiber cement is manufactured from a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. That composition gives it properties that neither wood nor vinyl can match:

Our Fiber Cement Siding Installation Process

  • Site Assessment and Planning – Every fiber cement installation starts with a proper assessment of the existing wall system. If the old siding or sheathing has moisture damage, that needs to be addressed before new siding goes on. Covering a wet wall with fiber cement just traps the problem.
  • Removal of Existing Exterior – We remove the existing siding and inspect the housewrap, flashing, and sheathing. Any compromised sections are repaired before installation proceeds.
  • Housewrap and Flashing – Proper moisture management behind fiber cement siding is critical. We install or renew the housewrap and ensure all window, door, and penetration flashings are correctly lapped and sealed. This is the step that separates a long-lasting installation from one that fails in five years.
  • Fiber Cement Installation – We install panels, planks, or shingles per the manufacturer’s installation specifications — including proper clearances from grade, roofline, and trim. Proper nailing patterns, seam staggering, and joint treatment are all followed to spec.
  • Caulking, Painting & Finish – We caulk all joints and transitions and apply exterior primer and topcoat paint. We work with our exterior coatings and painting team on larger jobs where the full exterior is being finished at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

We work with major fiber cement manufacturers including James Hardie — one of the leading brands in the industry. We can discuss product options during your estimate based on your home’s style, your budget, and the look you’re going for.

Fiber cement is heavier, more durable, and more impact-resistant than vinyl. It holds paint longer and doesn’t warp or fade as readily. The trade-off is that fiber cement costs more and is heavier to install. For homeowners focused on longevity and curb appeal, it’s typically the better investment.

In some cases, yes — but we don’t recommend it without first assessing what’s underneath. Layering over existing siding can create moisture traps and add weight. We’ll evaluate your specific situation and give you an honest recommendation.

Quality fiber cement siding with proper installation and maintenance can last 30–50 years. Periodic repainting (every 10–15 years) is the main maintenance task required.

Most full siding replacements require a permit in Hackensack and surrounding NJ municipalities. We handle the permit application as part of the project scope.
