I don't mind the look of the T-111, but the Hardie doesn't have to be painted for 25 years.
Do you know a good contractor with experience with the Hardie siding?
Thanks
On new home construction, you have to use plywood sheathing for shear strength behind the hardi.
As for insulation, its just not cold or heat but also the sound attenuation properties. The hardi does have some insulation for sound.
I do know people to install it - you looking for just labor or a GC? or try dakineworkers.com
