Concrete Siding Installation in New Orleans
Textured panels that can read as stucco, wood or cedar shingle — with the durability and fire resistance of fiber cement behind the look.
Concrete Siding, and How It Relates to Fiber Cement
Concrete siding is also known as fiber cement siding. It consists of wood pulp, fly ash and Portland cement, pressed into textured panels that can mimic stucco, wood or cedar shingles convincingly.
That is the appeal: you get a surface that looks like a traditional finish, with a material that resists rot, insects, fire and warping in a way the finish it imitates often does not.
It is also flexible as a design material. Shutters, columns, pediments, vents and porch ceilings can all be worked into the same system, which matters on the kind of detailed elevations common around New Orleans.

Signs It May Be Time to Call
These are the reasons homeowners most often get in touch about concrete siding.
Existing stucco is cracking and you want the look without the upkeep.
Wood siding is rotting and you want a lookalike that will not.
Insects have damaged the current exterior.
Fire resistance matters to you or to your insurer.
Boards are warping on the existing elevation.
You want detailed trim work — columns, pediments, porch ceilings — in one system.
A note on all of the above: these are common reasons to have an exterior looked at, not a diagnosis. Whether the right answer is a repair, a partial replacement or a full replacement depends on what an on-site inspection finds behind the surface. We will tell you which one your home needs, including when the answer is that it can wait.
