Frequently Asked Questions About HardiePlank^® Siding

What is HardiePlank^® siding made of?James Hardie Siding is a fiber cement material composed from a blend of cement, silica, water, and cellulose fibers. The difference between James Hardie siding and other fiber cement products on the market are the proprietary additives and the unique composition of the materials during the manufacturing process. This allows it to be engineered for strength and longevity.

Why should I replace my current siding? 1. Rotting masonite, warped wood, peeling paint, or aging vinyl can lead to structural damage, poor insulation, and reduced curb appeal.

‍2. The cost of painting is probably about half the price of replacing it with Hardie Plank, but then it will need to be painted again every 5-7 years. HardiePlank offers long-term protection and long-term value.

How long does HardiePlank^® last?It comes with a 30-year warranty, but with proper installation, it can last much longer.

Is fiber cement siding worth the investment?Absolutely. It’s more durable and fire-resistant than wood or vinyl and requires far less upkeep.

Does it come in different colors and styles?Yes. With ColorPlus^® Technology, you can choose from dozens of factory-baked color finishes and classic lap, shake, or vertical styles.

Are you a certified Hardie installer?Yes. We’re certified through the James Hardie Contractor Alliance, which means your installation meets warranty-backed standards.

How long does installation take?Most projects take 1–2 weeks, depending on the size of the home and weather conditions. We’ll give you a timeline during your consultation.

Do you remove old siding and clean up?Yes, with Hardie siding, the existing siding must be removed. This allows us to inspect the home’s wall sheathing, make any necessary repairs, and install the house wrap before starting to install the new siding. We handle everything, from demo and disposal to final cleanup.

Can HardiePlank increase home value?Yes. Fiber cement siding is consistently rated as one of the top ROI remodeling projects in the U.S., with excellent resale value.

Do you offer free estimates?Absolutely. We offer no-obligation consultations and detailed estimates so you can make an informed decision before starting your siding project.

If I live in an area where parking and material storage is challenging, how will you be able to complete the work?In your proposal, we’ll include the cost for a Work-in-Street permit. We’ll handle the process of obtaining the permit with the local authorities, so we can safely and properly stage our materials and dumpster.

Why is Lead Safe RRP protocol so important on houses built before 1978?For homes built prior to 1978, it is federal law for contractors to be certified by the EPA to work on homes where painted surfaces are being disturbed. Lead dust is very toxic when inhaled or ingested, especially to children, so special precautions must be taken to prevent the spread of lead dust or paint chips during these types of projects. Unfortunately, these precautions require extra material and time so they are completed correctly, which does drive up the cost of the project. However, these precautions are not only important for the homeowner’s family but also for the families of the workers, so they don’t take lead dust home on their clothing. You can check the following website to make sure your contractor is certified as a Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) contractor with the EPA: https://cdxapps.epa.gov/ocspp-oppt-lead/firm-location-search
