A fiber cement (james hardie) job, wall by wall
Fiber cement is the Middle Tennessee premium standard for good reasons: it holds paint, it does not move much with humidity, and insects and woodpeckers have no interest in it. It is also slow to hang and heavy, and a quote that is close to vinyl pricing is a quote worth questioning.
The installation detail that matters most is fastener depth. Over-driven nails crack the board behind the head, it is invisible once painted, and it voids the warranty. It is the single most common defect on fiber cement installed quickly.

FAQ
Asked and answered: fiber cement (james hardie) on Nashville houses
Is James Hardie siding worth the extra cost over vinyl?
For a house you will keep, usually yes. Fiber cement does not melt, dent, or fade the way vinyl can, it holds paint for a decade or more, and it is rated against fire and impact. It costs more to buy and to install, and it must be installed to the manufacturer’s details for the warranty to mean anything — the fastener pattern and the gaps are not optional.
How long does Hardie siding last?
Fifty years is the warranty on the board; the paint on it lasts ten to fifteen. In Middle Tennessee the enemy is moisture behind the siding rather than the siding itself, so the house wrap, the flashing and the clearance from the ground decide the real life of the wall. Installed correctly, it is the last siding the house needs.
