Hardie board and batten or brick?
Our current home is brick and we’ve been really happy with it, but we plan on selling and building another house soon and we really like the look of board and batten, but we love the low maintenance of brick.
What are the pros and cons of each? How many years can you typically get out of good paint and caulk on Hardie and what’s the average going rate for a repaint per gallon or sq ft? I’m not quite sure how painters charge.
