FAQs
What is Hardie® siding and why is it a smart choice for homes in Turtletown?
Hardie® siding is a premium fiber-cement cladding made from Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. It combines the authentic look of painted wood with outstanding durability. For Turtletown homeowners, the product’s resistance to moisture, insects, and wildfire makes it ideal for our humid summers, occasional heavy storms, and wooded surroundings. Unlike vinyl, it will not warp or melt in the heat, and unlike wood, it will not rot or attract termites—giving you long-lasting curb appeal with minimal upkeep.
How does Hardie® siding stand up to Turtletown’s weather conditions?
James Hardie engineers its siding for specific climate zones; Turtletown falls within the HZ5 "seasonal temperature variations" zone. The boards are formulated to resist swelling, cracking, and fading in environments that swing from hot, muggy afternoons to below-freezing winter nights. The ColorPlus® Technology finish is baked on in a controlled factory setting, providing UV resistance that keeps colors vibrant even under direct Appalachian sunlight.
What design options—profiles, textures, and colors—can I choose from?
We carry the full James Hardie product line, including HardiePlank® lap siding, HardieShingle® staggered or straight-edge panels, and HardiePanel® vertical siding. Textures range from smooth contemporary to cedarmill wood-grain. ColorPlus® prefinished hues include more than 20 regionally curated colors such as Arctic White, Mountain Sage, and Iron Gray. If you prefer complete customization, we can also install primed boards ready for field painting to any custom shade you specify.
What is the typical installation timeline and process for Hardie® siding in Turtletown?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft home, installation takes about 7–10 working days. Day 1 focuses on site preparation and removal of old cladding. Days 2–3 involve inspecting the wall sheathing, repairing any rot, and installing a weather-resistive barrier. Days 4–8 are dedicated to hanging the Hardie® boards, flashing windows and doors, and sealing all joints with approved caulk. The final days are reserved for touch-ups, a thorough clean-up, and a joint walkthrough with you to confirm satisfaction. All work is performed by factory-trained crews who follow James Hardie’s Best Practice guidelines.
How much upkeep does Hardie® siding require once installed?
Hardie® fiber-cement is virtually maintenance-free compared to wood and even vinyl. A simple rinse with a garden hose and soft brush once or twice a year removes dirt and pollen common to Turtletown’s rural areas. The ColorPlus® finish typically lasts 15 years before a repaint is recommended, while factory-primed boards painted on site can often go a decade or more between coats. There is no need for annual sealing, staining, or pest treatments.
Does Hardie® siding come with a warranty, and do you offer financing for the project?
Yes. James Hardie provides a 30-year, non-prorated, transferable limited product warranty, plus a 15-year finish warranty on ColorPlus® products. Our installation workmanship is additionally backed by a 10-year labor warranty for your peace of mind. To make upgrading easier, we offer flexible financing through GreenSky and Synchrony—options include 12-month same-as-cash or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
