"5 months after the job is done, front part of the roof is now leaking where we had issues before. Checked into possible hail damage. Insurance adjuster says we have damage, and shingles are already visibly worn because they **are a poor quality shingles** Said there are places where the nails are already conning up, damaging the shingles, too. Should not be happening on a new roof. Buyer beware. Research what shingles they tell you they are using to verify quality and verify you are getting what you were promised. I believe we got what was promised and what we paid for, but was not knowledgeable enough and did not do my research to realize the promised product was not very good. Have now read through GAF warranty info and learned that there are very few instances in which they will actually do anything to help the client. In fact, if you make a claim, and they decide it is not their fault, they will charge you $500. Avoid GAF shingles! My main disappointment with workmanship was I found a bunch of nails in my gutters and quite a few in my driveway afterward. Just did not do a thorough job of cleaning up after themselves. Also, they had to pull some of the siding off to lay the rubber roof. It was not reattached well so started falling off when we had some winds afterward. This is the first time I have ever had to hire a roofer. Maybe my expectations were just too high. Not looking forward to having to do this all over again now thanks to the hail. But glad that it was discovered and will have to be redone knowing that there were problems already popping up."

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.
