"I had Chimney Cricket out for a quote. The workman was very knowledgeable and I was ready for them to perform the work. They entered my home, reviewed the fireplaces, and told me how they would fix them. After that, I called and called. I called the gentleman who came to provide the quote. He couldn't help me. I called the office again and again. They said they would get me a quote. One never arrived. I had another company come out and repair the problems while still waiting for Chimney Cricket to continue the engagement. I finally got a call from the office (after I had had the work done) and she said she was following up on the quote. The quote they had never sent. The workman seemed knowledgeable, but I took the day off and let workmen into my house just so that I would spend time chasing them and STILL never receive a quote. If they cannot even get me quote, what are the chances they would show up to do the repair? Or follow up if something went 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.
