"We couldn't be happier with Dave's overhaul of our fireplace. His attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. We feel so lucky to have found him after another contractor flaked out on us. He came to the rescue & did whatever it took to get the job done on time and on budget. He is highly skilled and capable. Several times during the job he suggested things that would enhance the finished product. In doing so he created more work for himself. These upgrades probably added a full day of additional work. He didn't change the cost for the job, he just wants his customers to be happy. His attention to detail and cleanliness blew our minds. He spent a full day getting the room taped off to prevent dust from spreading throughout the house. A full day!?!? And it paid off when the work was done...we're not even hiring a cleaner. More than anything Dave's got a good heart, my wife and I genuinely enjoyed meeting and working with him. (Note: no AI was used in writing this review!)"

"United Home Experts does not stand behind the quality of their work, which in the case of a 20K+ project that they did for us, involved a significant oversight that rendered that work pointless. I think -- and other contractors we have brought in to look at the problem think -- that the oversight was significant enough to demonstrate negligence on their part. We hired United Home Experts to replace the roofing and the section of our deck over one of our garage bays, where water leaks had caused damage to the ceiling and walls of the garage. The sole purpose of the 20K + project was to prevent further damage due to leaks. Because of their failure to properly flash one of the walls adjoining the deck (they flashed another, longer wall), within three years, water had leaked through the wall and caused more significant damage than what they had been brought in to fix. The 20K+ was wasted. United Home Experts has refused to take any responsibility for failing to deliver on what they had promised. I have attached photos of the ceiling of our garage and the wood rot behind it. In one of the photos, the rot is so severe that the wood is completely worn through. Again, this happened within three years of contracting United Home Experts to do the work. I also attached a photo of the poor workmanship of their deck re-installation -- splitting in the joists that they had just installed. I caught the problem and made them reinstall the joists but didn't catch their failure to flash one of the walls adjoining the deck. In general, I found the company to be extremely unresponsive throughout the installation process and uncooperative in attempting to resolve this issue. The representative handling the account has been ducking me, repeatedly failing to call back within reasonable time frames (or most recently, even within a time frame he had set). We hope that United Home Experts will change course and attempt to respond reasonably to the damage that their oversight caused. The President of the company claims to be a "faith-based entrepreneur." Whichever faith that happens to be, his company reflects poorly on it, at least in our case. P.S. I expect that in attempting to respond to this review, United Home Experts will blame the installers of the original deck (since that was their explanation to me directly). They completely replaced the section of the deck and roofing where the leak took place, so that argument does not make any sense."

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.
