Been reading your blog. I really like it. I know you live in Chappaqua and you are a fan of fiber cement. I would like to hear your opinion about replacing wood clapboard siding with Hardie or building with Hardie in more affluent areas in Westchester, i.e. Chappaqua, Scarsdale etc, where there have been certain ‘standards’ in place for years. Is there pushback?
Thx
Thanks Tom.
Funny… you posted your comment as I was literally writing an email to a client looking for the same information on Hardie. Stay tuned and I will post my comments on Hardie in Westchester.
