Two are beginning to rot, otherwise no problems for 20 years. I have been looking for a close pattern match but have been unsuccessful. LP makes a stucco hardboard which looks closest so far.

Since I cannot afford to reside the entire house, is it possible to find these now discontined Masonite Boards for replacement? I am aware of the risks, but it is the most economical choice for me, especially since they lasted 20 years. Thanks I unfortunately have Masonite Stucco Boards which have rotted.

In re: the LP siding at our complex, we have always assumed (and were told) that we could replace individual siding as it showed signs of defect; however, we were recently told that ALL of the siding should be replaced. On top of that, we've been told that all of the sliding glass doors and windows will also probably need to be replaced if they fail a water test. Thus, the first quote we've received for this work (4 bldgs. + cabana and carports, 45 units) is $1.94 million. We've already paid an engineer who, if hired, would oversee the work, for his opinion, and the above were his thoughts, along w/a quote from one contractor. People here cannot affor the $42,000+ this work would cost. Is there anything you can suggest in terms of ways to mitigate the cost AND any questions we should be asking? Also, in such cases is it a good idea to get another consultant's opinion (i.e., maybe not an engineer, but someone who oversees such projects)? Really, none of has has experience with this and our property management company is not being particularly helpful. Thanks much for any guidance/info/thoughts you can provide!---Ellen Pearlman I live in Washington State and am the president of a condo association.
