FAQs
What is Hardy Plank siding and why is it a popular choice for homes in Halls?
Hardy Plank (often spelled HardiePlank) is a fiber-cement siding made from a mix of sand, cement, and cellulose fibers. It mimics the look of real wood but is far more durable, pest-resistant, and fire-resistant. In Halls’ humid subtropical climate, Hardy Plank holds up exceptionally well against moisture, high winds, and temperature swings, making it a smart long-term investment for homeowners.
How does Hardy Plank perform compared with traditional vinyl siding or wood?
Hardy Plank outperforms vinyl and wood in several ways: • Durability: It resists rot, warping, cracking, and termite damage better than wood and isn’t prone to the brittleness or fading common with vinyl. • Fire Resistance: Fiber-cement carries a non-combustible rating, which can even help lower insurance premiums. • Appearance: It offers deeper, wood-grain textures and comes factory-primed or pre-finished in baked-on colors that last longer than vinyl’s surface color. • Life Span: With proper installation and minimal upkeep, Hardy Plank can last 30–50 years, far longer than most vinyl products.
Can Hardy Plank accents be integrated with my existing roof and siding layout?
Yes. Our team specializes in blending Hardy Plank accent panels with existing roofing and siding systems. We can install it as a full siding replacement or as selective gables, dormers, or chimney accents. Color-matched flashing and trim ensure a seamless transition between Hardy Plank, asphalt shingles, metal roofing, or other siding materials.
What maintenance does Hardy Plank require once installed?
Maintenance is straightforward: 1. Rinse with a garden hose once or twice a year to remove dirt and pollen. 2. Inspect caulked joints and repaint every 12–15 years (pre-finished ColorPlus boards can go 15+ years without repainting). 3. Keep gutters clear and landscaping trimmed back to prevent moisture buildup. Unlike wood, there’s no need for frequent staining, and unlike vinyl, it won’t crack under pressure-washing.
How long does a typical Hardy Plank installation take, and will it disrupt my daily routine?
A standard single-family home in Halls usually takes 5–7 working days for full Hardy Plank siding replacement, including removal of old materials, wall prep, weather barrier installation, trim work, and final cleanup. Accent-only projects may finish in 2–3 days. Our crews work in defined phases to keep noise and debris contained, and we perform a complete site cleanup at the end of each day to minimize disruption.
Is Hardy Plank more expensive than other siding options, and what financing options do you offer?
Hardy Plank’s material cost is generally 10–20 % higher than premium vinyl and on par with mid-grade cedar, but its longer lifespan and lower maintenance requirements make the total cost of ownership lower over time. We provide detailed, written estimates that outline labor, materials, and any optional upgrades. For budgeting convenience, we partner with local lenders to offer 0 % interest financing for 12 months or low-APR plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
