There is no coverage to replace the siding itself if it is just worn out or defective. This would be a home maintenance issue.
If the siding has been damaged by an event (tree fell on it, it was struck by flying debris) then repair of the siding may also be covered.
AnswerAdditionally, if you have Masonite or asbestos roofing or siding, it is well known as a defective, obsolete product. What is the value? If it has no value how can you claim a loss on the product. I have been asked several times to value this product. Since it cannot be valued, how can you have a loss?The old adage is if it has no value it cannot be damaged. you cannot discern a dollars amount of damage to a penny!

Masonite can be painted, but it needs to be sealed first. Sand the siding with 80-grit sandpaper or a sanding block, but do not scrape the siding, as it can dislodge chunks of the siding. Apply a layer of primer before painting.
Maybe, consult your agent or claims department and ask. Who did the work? If it was you most likely not. If it was a contractor, his insurance will cover you.
