FAQs About James Hardie Siding
How long does James Hardie siding last?
James Hardie siding is backed by a
30-year non-prorated limited warranty and can last 50+ years with proper maintenance.
Is fiber cement siding expensive?
It’s more expensive upfront than vinyl, but
far more durable, and offers better long-term value due to lower maintenance and fewer replacements.
Can it be installed over existing siding?
In most cases, we recommend
removing old siding for proper installation. During your free estimate, we’ll inspect your home and explain the best approach.
Is James Hardie siding resistant to mold or rot?
Yes. It’s engineered to resist moisture and is
virtually impervious to rot, mold, and mildew.
Does it help with energy efficiency?
While not an insulator itself, Hardie siding pairs well with
insulated sheathing and house wrap systems to improve your home’s overall energy performance.
