I currently have wood siding, soffits, and eaves. I am moving a window and door, which means I will need to redo the siding in that area. My house is 90% red brick, with the siding near the doorways.

Should I go back with wood to avoid having to replace the soffits and eaves as well? Hardie board? Vinyl?

What does TD think?

Are you planning on replacing all siding? If not, go back with wood. Reason why people use other then wood is to save money. Don't do it.

changing the siding to hardie from wood should not require changing soffit or fascia. i'm in the process of changing the entire house from wood lap siding to hardie. i would consider wood, but i can't find it in baton rouge. i probably couldn't spring for the $$$$ if i could find it.

hardie vc. wood is like cd vs. vinyl records. all in all, hardie is a great product, but it lacks the warmth of wood.
