The Hardie Board Installation Process

We start by consulting with you to choose the best siding product for your style and budget. The product you select will influence how long installation will take – two to three weeks for a typical job on an average-sized home.
After removing the old siding and making any repairs to the studs, sheathing, or insulation board, we will install a starter strip to create a drip edge and guide the rest of the panel placement.
Your siding will be installed from the bottom up, with each tier layered over the last to hide the fasteners and create a shingled effect.
If you have elected to use trim, it is installed in the final step before cleanup.

Hardie Board Advantages

Hardie siding is superior in many ways to vinyl, aluminum, and wood siding:

It resists warping, melting, and burning under high-heat conditions.
It is denser than competing products, making it more resilient and durable when facing heavy rain and high winds.
Its installation includes caulking around windows and doors to keep out moisture.
It is environmentally friendly, will not produce toxins or harmful by-products like vinyl does and is produced using sustainable materials.
It is easy to clean and requires little maintenance.
It is flame resistant and non-combustible; some insurance even offers discounts for installing Hardie Board siding!
It resists termites and wood rot.
It looks like wood, with realistic grain and aesthetically pleasing design.
