Is it worth it to replace vinyl siding with hardy board?

TRfella asked:


We are buying a great house in a great neighborhood, but don’t like the look of the vinyl siding. Is it possible to replace this with hardy board? Would it cost a small fortune? Would it significantly raise our home’s value?

      Vinyl is better than wood. You don’t have to paint it and it doesn’t get termites or rot. You might want to replace it with a better grade of vinyl siding.
