Class A fire rating.
Fiber cement is non-combustible and carries the highest fire-resistance rating, which is increasingly relevant for Pacific Northwest insurance and code requirements.
Fiber cement siding installation — Tacoma & Puget Sound

Fiber cement built to last in the rain.
Pre-finished or paint-grade fiber cement lap, panel, shake, and trim — flashed, gapped, and caulked the way it’s supposed to be. Let’s talk options on your home.
What it looks like
Fiber cement — material and on a home.
Fiber cement lap — close-up
Factory-painted cement-board lap with a subtle wood-grain emboss. Cool gray ColorPlus-style finish, crisp factory edges.
Modern farmhouse — fiber cement lap with board-and-batten gables
Light-gray fiber cement lap with white trim and board-and-batten accents on the gable ends. Signature PNW farmhouse look.
Why homeowners choose it
Why fiber cement is the premium siding choice in the PNW.
Holds paint for decades.
Factory-finish ColorPlus options carry 15-year finish warranties, and field-painted fiber cement holds paint two to three times longer than wood.
Pest and rot resistant.
Cement-based composition is unattractive to termites, woodpeckers, and carpenter ants — and won't swell or rot in wet PNW climates.
Lifetime workmanship coverage.
Fiber cement carries strong limited warranties from the manufacturer. PrimeGuard backs the installation with our 2-Year Workmanship Warranty + Manufacturer Warranties*.
