"Was told that due to the hurricane we had to pay them upfront, which we did, and then we were responsible to submit the expense to our insurance company for reimbursement, which we did. What surprised me was that they charged us $127.84 for the estimate, as well as $1,550 for tarping ( 1-20x30 tarp = 600 sq.ft, 1- 20x40 tarp = 800 sq.ft at $1.00/sq ft., and 30 sandbags at $5.00 each). I asked if they would deduct the estimate charge since we were paying them right then and there to install the tarps but I was told that those were separate charges. On October 13, 2017 I wrote a check for $1,677.84. We were told that the tarps would be installed "sometime over that weekend", which they were. Unfortunately they didn't cover the hole over the garage and we came home to find 3-5" of water in a bucket as well as water all over the floor. I called the estimator immediately but no one showed up to the house the next day. Once I called the office someone came to reposition the tarps. Then on October 25th we came home to find the tarps had blown off our roof. I called PDR and was told that the authorization I signed states: "I acknowledge that the temporary repairs do not carry any guarantee". Unfortunately I didn't see that line when I signed digitally on the estimators IPhone. Shame on me. Advice: Print out the agreement before signing! Several calls back and forth to my insurance company and I learned that they would pay for reinstalling the tarps but that I DID NOT HAVE TO USE PDR and to get whomever I could so that the leaks wouldn't spread. I called my roofer, who came out the next morning (October 26th) and watched while one man spent half the morning cleaning up the tarps, removing the sandbags and then put tar on numerous areas over the entire roof. Then on November 13th I received a call from our insurance company asking about an invoice they received from PDR for $1,300 for reinstalling the tarps on our roof. "WHAT?" I said. They didn't reinstall the tarps! The end of the story is as frustrating as the beginning. I learned today (Feb. 12, 2018) that Paul Davis Restoration resubmitted an invoice and my insurance company paid them for services THAT THEY DID NOT DO. I have proof, pictures and an invoice from the company who DID the repairs. It's hard enough to get through the emotional stress of a hurricane, but even more disturbing when you have to fight for your right as an insured individual. Fortunately for us, only 1 of the 5 contractors we used did us wrong."

Hardie board siding lasts between 30 and 50 years when properly installed and maintained, while vinyl siding provides 20 to 40 years of service. Installation quality significantly impacts longevity for both materials. Fiber cement offers superior resistance to impact and fire damage, though vinyl often resists fading better in some climates. Both materials provide substantial manufacturer warranties, though specific terms vary by product line and company.
Maintaining Hardie board siding involves periodic cleaning with a garden hose and soft brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Unlike wood siding, it doesn't require regular staining or sealing. Primed boards painted on-site may eventually need repainting, while factory-finished products maintain their appearance longer. Inspecting caulking around joints and penetrations annually helps prevent moisture issues and preserve the siding's integrity.
Installing Hardie board over existing siding may be possible if your current siding is flat and in good condition, and if local building codes permit this approach. However, many professionals recommend completely removing old materials to inspect for hidden damage and ensure proper installation. Overlay installations might affect manufacturer warranty coverage. Consulting with a qualified siding contractor and your local building department will help determine the best approach for your situation.
Hardie board siding stands up exceptionally well to diverse weather challenges. Its cement-based composition resists expansion and contraction during temperature fluctuations, preventing warping and cracking. The material withstands high winds, heavy rain, and hail better than many alternatives. Its non-combustible nature provides excellent fire resistance with a Class A rating. James Hardie manufactures climate-specific product lines optimized for regional weather patterns across North America.
Hardie board siding offers environmental benefits primarily through its exceptional durability and longevity. By lasting decades longer than many alternatives, it reduces the need for frequent replacement and associated resource consumption. The manufacturing process does require significant energy input, but the extended service life helps offset this impact over time. When selecting siding options, consider both production factors and lifetime performance when evaluating environmental impact.
The installation timeline for Hardie board siding depends on several factors, including home size, architectural complexity, and weather conditions. Professional installation teams complete projects within one to two weeks for average homes. Factors that may extend this timeline include extensive preparation work, repairs to underlying structures, complex trim details, and weather delays. Establishing clear expectations with your contractor before beginning work helps ensure a smooth installation process.
