It actually matches and is durable. 

Maybe there has been some great improvments in durability but have you seen them when they are 5,6,7 years old?

Cement siding may be more durable than wood but it still has to be painted . . . and re-painted, depending on paint quality, climate and conditions. 

Or level it out and then use an epoxy (high gloss) garage floor type paint with color flakes looks great and is durable and will seal out moisture as well.   

I know a lot of people swear by laminate and vinyl floors in rentals, but only tile will match up to polyurethaned-in-place solid wood for durability, versatility, repairability, and pathogen resistance.

Retitle all your accounts into the trust.In addition to your living trust, you probably want to also create a pour over will that will add what you forgot to fund in your trust during probate.You would also want to look at an advance directive and a durable power of attorney effective upon disability or incapacity.Also check with a local attorney if you should transfer your homestead into the living trust or if you should use instead a lady bird deed as in some state it may create later issue with medicaid/medicare and/or homestead exemption and/or protection.

Ideally I am looking for durable, wear-resistant, affordable materials.

I only used the FRP as a solution to going around the window and still have a durable surround (more durable than the kits) without taking the time and expense of doing tile for the first time ever.

The wood looks really nice, and helps to sell the unit, but just isn't very durable for this type of renter.

So I'd need to pay more per foot, but also buy more square feet, a larger piece (12 x) and waste a lot of it.I'm OK with paying the extra if people have found the quality and durability worth it.
