FAQs
What is Hardie siding and why is it a smart choice for homes in Seymour?
Hardie siding is a durable fiber-cement cladding manufactured by James Hardie. It combines cement, sand, and cellulose fibers to create boards that look like real wood but resist rot, warping, and pests. For Seymour homeowners, Hardie siding is ideal because it is Engineered for Climate®—the HZ5® formulation we install is designed for the freeze-thaw cycles, high humidity, and strong UV exposure typical of southern Indiana. You get the authentic appearance of wood with a product that stands up to weather, fire, and insects far better than traditional wood or vinyl.
How does Hardie siding perform against the severe weather we sometimes see in Seymour?
James Hardie’s HZ5® panels are specifically formulated with a higher density and a special drip edge to shed moisture, making them extremely resistant to rain, snow, and ice. They are rated for winds up to 150 mph—which covers most thunderstorm and tornado conditions we see in Jackson County. Hardie siding is also non-combustible, providing an added layer of fire protection. In short, it won’t crack in winter, melt in summer heat, or blow off during storms, giving Seymour homeowners year-round peace of mind.
What colors and styles of Hardie siding can I choose, and can they coordinate with my existing roof?
We offer the full James Hardie ColorPlus® palette—over 20 factory-baked finishes that resist fading, peeling, and chipping for up to 15 years. Profiles include traditional lap, board-and-batten, shingle, and vertical panels, so you can match any architectural style from classic Craftsman to modern farmhouse. During your free consultation, our design specialist will use digital visualization tools to pair siding options with your current or planned roofing color, trim, and accent materials, ensuring a cohesive exterior look.
How long does a Hardie siding installation take and how disruptive is the process?
A typical single-family home in Seymour takes 5–7 working days from start to finish, depending on square footage and the amount of trim or architectural detail. We begin with a thorough inspection, remove old siding, repair any sheathing issues, wrap the home with a weather barrier, and then install the new Hardie boards using corrosion-resistant fasteners. Our crew cleans the jobsite daily, keeps driveways clear, and coordinates dumpster placement so you experience minimal disruption. Most homeowners can remain in the house throughout the project.
What maintenance will my Hardie siding require compared with wood or vinyl?
Hardie siding is practically maintenance-free. Because the ColorPlus® finish is factory-cured, you won’t need to repaint for 12–15 years, versus every 3–5 years for wood. A simple garden-hose rinse once or twice a year removes dirt and pollen. Unlike vinyl, it won’t crack or fade significantly, and unlike wood, it doesn’t need sealing or insect treatments. Periodic caulking inspection at joints and around windows is recommended and can be done during your annual roof or gutter maintenance visit.
Does Hardie siding come with a warranty, and what guarantees do you provide locally?
Yes. James Hardie backs its HZ5® siding with a 30-year non-prorated, transferable product warranty and a 15-year limited ColorPlus® finish warranty. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, we also provide our own 10-year workmanship warranty for Seymour installations. Should any installation-related issue arise within that period, we will repair or replace the affected area at no labor cost to you, ensuring full protection for both materials and craftsmanship.
