Five Reasons Why We Use James Hardie Siding

We side with James Hardie^® products because the press, the remodeling industry and over 8 million homeowners can’t be wrong. Style-centric consumer magazines, contractor-focused trade publications and environmentally conscious media have all sung the praises of Hardie board siding. It has always been our experience that low maintenance and long-lasting materials are what sell. James Hardie board siding delivers on both counts.

Here are the five specific reasons why we use Hardie board siding:

Reputation

Hardie products have practically received a universal vote of confidence in this industry. That certainly earns our confidence and we expect that it will earn yours as well. Just have a look at these testimonials.

Longevity

Hardie board siding is completely resistant to rot and insects. It can even withstand the salt spray of the ocean if you live by the shore. The company’s 50-year limited transferable warranty, which comes with most Hardie board siding, is a testament to the longevity of its products.

Appearance

Colors are accompanied by a 15-year warranty on the finish. Options are virtually unlimited. If you prefer it to resemble another material, such as wood lap boards, cedar shingles or wood shake siding, Hardie board siding can be made to mimic it. 

Fire Resistance

James Hardie Building Products invented fiber cement, a composite of mostly sand and cement, over 30 years ago. All its siding is made from this material, which is fire-resistant. It will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame, nor will it contribute fuel to a fire. As a result, many insurance companies offer a discount. Watch this video and see for yourself how James Hardie siding fares alongside other types of siding, when set on fire. Hardie siding is endorsed by firefighters nationwide.

Storm Resistance

Fiber cement siding will go the distance in terms of storm resistance. Severe weather will test the strength of your home and your choice of siding is your first line of defense. Harsh weather conditions can peel, crack and expand wood. The impact of hail or windblown debris will dent aluminum siding. Some regions are plagued by hurricanes or blizzards while, in others, the elements are unpredictable. Therefore professional installers align themselves with the universally proven James Hardie fiber cement siding.

The cost of installing Hardie board siding will vary, depending on the amount you will need, how long it will take and any additional fees for equipment and materials. We suggest you call for an estimate today. One of our representatives will be happy to discuss your project.
