"They left supplies in my yard for over a month and a half. They were supposed to fix a light they messed up & pick up the supplies. The project manager kept setting up appointments with me & then didn't show or say anything. Stuff was ruining my grass so we put them on Craigslist."

"We recently had our windows, doors and siding replaced with Home Genus. From the start (Sales), to the finished product (installation) our experience was phenomenal. Our project manager, AJ Smith, was professional and knowledgeable addressing all questions swiftly. He worked hand and hand with the installation crew manager, Alex, both willing to discuss any concerns and a few after sale changes. The crew was professional and efficient in their trade. We did our due diligence prior to selecting Home Genus and felt pricing was competitive. My husband and I felt valued as customers and would recommend this company to friends and family."

"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."

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.
