James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie is America's #1 fiber cement siding for a reason. Engineered for your specific climate, it delivers the warm look of wood with the strength of cement — and we install it to the manufacturer's exact specifications.
Fiber cement siding is made from a proprietary blend of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. The result is a building product that looks like wood, holds paint like a dream, and shrugs off the things that destroy lesser siding — moisture, fire, pests, and the freeze-thaw cycles that beat up homes in the Northeast.
James Hardie's HardieZone® system goes a step further: boards sold for our region (HZ5®) are engineered specifically for climates with cold winters, wet springs, and humid summers. That means better resistance to shrinking, swelling, and cracking than generic fiber cement.
As your installer, our job is to make sure every board, trim piece, flashing detail, and fastener follows James Hardie's published best practices so the product performs the way it's designed to — and so your warranty stays intact.
Why it stands out
Non-combustible
Hardie® fiber cement won't ignite when exposed to direct flame, and it won't contribute fuel to a fire — a real advantage over wood and vinyl.
Engineered for our climate
HZ5® boards are formulated for freeze-thaw, wind-driven rain, and humidity swings common across Bucks County, PA and central NJ.
Resists rot, pests & moisture
Termites won't eat it and woodpeckers won't peck it. Properly installed, it holds up to decades of weather without rotting or warping.
ColorPlus® baked-on finish
Factory-applied color is bonded to the board, resisting fading, chipping, and cracking far better than field-painted siding.
30-year limited warranty
Backed by a non-prorated, transferable limited warranty on the substrate — one of the strongest in the industry.
Curb appeal that lasts
Authentic wood-grain or smooth textures in lap, shingle, vertical, and panel profiles — the look of premium wood without the upkeep.
What's included
Full tear-off & inspection
We remove old siding, inspect the sheathing, and address any rotted wood or moisture damage before the new system goes on.
HardieWrap® weather barrier
A premium drainable house wrap that manages bulk water and lets the wall assembly breathe.
Proper flashing & trim details
Z-flashing at horizontal joints, kick-out flashing at roof-wall intersections, and HardieTrim® boards detailed to spec.
Blind nailing & fastener spacing
Fasteners placed and spaced per James Hardie's installation guide so boards lay flat and stay tight.
ColorPlus® or primed-and-painted
Choose a factory ColorPlus® finish for maximum longevity, or pre-primed boards finished on-site for full color flexibility.
Clean job site, every day
We respect your property — debris bagged, drives swept, and landscaping protected from start to finish.
