Can fiber cement siding be installed over old wood board siding?
Home built in the late 1800's. The old house requires repainting every couple of years. The paint has an alligator appearance - very thick, chippy and crackled. Am considering re-siding with fiber board siding rather than vinyl. Is it possible to install the cement siding boards over the existing wood boards or would they need to be removed? Also - I know that when installing vinyl siding, they cut off the sill boards and crown molding around windows/doors. I would prefer to preserve the architectural interest of the home as much as possible. Is the cement siding option kinder to the window and door details then vinyl siding?
