Guardian Inc. is a top-rated Roofing, Siding, & Window Replacement Company with clients throughout South Eastern Wisconsin. For over twenty years, the people at Guardian have been raising roofing, siding, and window replacement standards throughout the Milwaukee metro area. Guardian has eliminated the frustrations, deception, and sales pressure that are otherwise so common in the construction industry, giving homeowners a better way to buy home improvements.
"I have holes in my exterior walls! I was having problems with a chimney area due to animal damage. Guardian convinced me the thing to do was to take the chimney down entirely. This took up pretty much my whole home repair budget but I felt I had to act to keep squirrels from getting into the house. After the chimney was removed there were vent holes (no longer connecting to any devices) in the concrete foundation walls of the basement. Guardian was just going to walk away at this point because they "don't do concrete" but after I objected they kludged the opening with tape."

Established in 2012, a family owned and operated company, with over 50 years expirence in the Environmental industry. We specialize in Asbestos Inspections & Abatement, Universal Waste removal, Lead-Safe Certified and Mold Remediation
"I was VERY disappointed by my experience with DJK Environmental. They had come to me as a recommendation from a realtor, so I thought they’d be good. We paid money to have the asbestos test expedited, which took longer than the timeline DJK gave me and they didn’t even call me when the results were in. They also made a few errors on the quote to remove the asbestos, and again didn’t seem to care about the timeline they had given me or earning the business from us. I had to track them down any time I wanted information . They did not keep me informed about anything which was awful considering the timeline we are on to move into our house. When I got quotes from a couple other companies for the same service, I learned that DJK are price gougers as they were going to charge me 40% more than the other bids. I notified my realtor about the horrible communication, awful pricing & negative experience with DJK to ensure they don’t get business from any of her clients ever again. Stay away from DJK"

"Update: The owner read this review and reached out to me directly to try to make things right. He was understanding of my complaints and treated me with respect. I requested a quote for siding repair, told the receptionist we needed siding repair, and then when the worker came he told me they don’t do siding repair. They only do full replacement, which we are not interested in doing at this time. Worker was condescending and said he needed to talk to my husband. Very disappointed in this whole experience."

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.
