Why We Use James Hardie Siding
What if you never had to paint your house’s exterior again?
Many homeowners aren’t aware of the array of options they have for their home’s exterior. But thanks to recent engineering advances, there is a new trend in exterior design that is exploding in popularity.
Over the last few years, fiber cement siding has become an excellent, durable, long-term option for almost any home. Choosing quality siding like James Hardie Board Siding for your house has a massive impact on its appearance and value. It also simplifies homeownership by taking away some of the largest pains of upkeeping your property.
The construction of your house should bring you a sense of calm whenever you pull into the driveway. A well-designed exterior is the first reminder that you are finally home. Choosing quality siding accomplishes this and comes with many other benefits. If you look around, you’ll see homeowners are taking notice of this growing trend.
Read on to learn why we recommend top-quality siding brands, like James Hardie Board, for your home exterior.
Durability
In our corner of South Carolina, storms and bad weather can appear out of nowhere. It’s important to have an exterior that is built to last.
Professional, quality siding is specifically tested in worst-case scenarios. Decades of engineering have optimized durability and performance even in hurricane-caliber weather.
Additionally, high-quality siding is further engineered for durability even in good weather. These panels can deflect UV rays and prevent any sun damage to the house or property.
There are various types of James Hardie siding specifically designed for our local climate patterns.
Longevity
High-end siding for your home offers tremendous cost savings over time. Fiber cement siding keeps pests at bay and prevents cracks, swelling, and wood breakdown. This solid protection gives your home extended mileage and keeps costs low.
The longevity of these products is outstanding and even insurance companies have taken notice. Many insurers offer reductions in home-insurance premiums on homes built with James Hardie siding. If you opt for quality siding, it is worth letting your insurer know.
The James Hardie siding we offer carries a 30-year, non-prorated warranty from James Hardie for extra peace of mind.
Color
If you want the color on your home to continue to stand out as you drive by for years to come, James Hardie siding is the obvious best choice.
The James Hardie siding we use comes with a ColorPlus Technology coating. This technology prevents fading over time and keeps cracks and chips at bay. Compared to repainting a home every few years to maintain a fresh appearance, the simplicity of board siding makes it a clear winner.
Creative Variety
James Hardie siding has five generations and millions of dollars of research and development behind it. The company has created a massive catalog of colors and design options. There is a great siding pattern to bring to life whatever design you have envisioned for your home.
Additionally, James Hardie siding is over five times thicker than vinyl. This engineering choice provides a unique and beautiful wood-grain appearance. The resulting look is far more elegant than vinyl constructions and more durable than traditional painted wood.
Sustainability
Any industry leader in material design carries a responsibility to protect the environment.
James Hardie has consistently been the greenest siding provider in the industry.
The company has a four-pronged plan to provide the highest degree of sustainability. Company leadership is focusing on four pillars: Communities, Environment, Innovation, and Zero Harm.
By 2030, James Hardie products aim toward a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas intensity. The company also aims for a 50% reduction in manufacturing waste intensity. By the end of the decade, 20M cubic feet of additional water will be recycled from manufacturing.
These goals are well-aligned with the engineering goals of producing materials that are built to last. In fact, in 2017, Green Builder Media named James Hardie the “Greenest Siding Brand” for the sixth straight year.
It is very important to us and to our manufacturers to provide home solutions that are sustainable over the long term. James Hardie siding is the clear leader on this front. For this reason, we are proud to be the primary Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor in our area.
Storm Resistance
Gale-force winds and heavy precipitation pose a challenge to any type of home exterior. However, siding remains the most durable option over vinyl, wood, or other materials.
Fiber cement siding with generations of materials testing and engineering make James Hardie siding the best option to prevent long-term damage from inclement weather. It is highly resistant to cracks and damages from weather and may never show any obvious external signs of wear depending on the climate.
The Benefits of James Hardie Siding
James Hardie has long been known as the single industry leader in home siding. Generic fiber cement siding is available. But it usually comes up lacking in durability, variety, sustainability, and color options.

Outstanding Reviews
Brooks was my contractor on the project. He was awesome! He was there with me every step of the way! Eugenia was very helpful in the office and assisted me in getting the HOA approval. Jason explained the warranty process and even brought me a cake!
Everyone we came in contact with was very cooperative and easy to work with. It was a pleasant experience from the first online chat. They listened to us and helped solve any issues we were concerned about
Wow, this company goes above and beyond. From the very first reach out to the very last interaction once the job was completed. Everything was done first class. The quality of work, the constant communication and level of service was like nothing I’ve ever experienced with any contractor. I priced out a couple different contractors compared to contractor exteriors and I will tell you I would have paid more just to have this experience with them. I had Jonathan as my project manager and he was exceptional.
Very happy with our new Timbetech front porch deck and steps with AZEK facia and risers. Everyone at CE was responsive and very professional explaining every step in detail! We have several homeowners in our community who have already asked for contact info info. Jonathan is a very good project manager and ensured we were satisfied with the quality, cleanliness, and appearance of our new front porch! Thank you!
In choosing a company to replace our deck, we researched and decided to use Contract Exteriors. We definitely made the right choice. We are very pleased with the results. Special thanks to Brooks, our Project Manager, who kept us updated and informed everyday.
Contract Exteriors did a great job for me. The entire group was very responsive, and my deck project turned out fantastic. My project, as all projects, had some surprises that were handled professionally and promptly. Randy, Brooks, and the office staff were great throughout the process. They proactively kept me informed on the status of the project. I never had to call twice to get a question answered or ask for an accommodation.
We couldn't be happier with contract exteriors and the job they did. Our beach house looks brand new with the new Hardie board and white trim. EVERYONE was friendly, well mannered, professional, and was always ready to answer any questions that we had. Miguel and his crew did an excellent job. Brooks the project manager was wonderful, and also Chad who helped us from the very beginning, also the girls in the office. We would not hesitate to use them again.
This company did an amazing job on my siding project. From start to finish they were very professional, helpful, and on time. Eugenia clearly communicated the whole process to me before they even started the project and Brooks was always available to answer my questions. He even came and ensured the cleanup was perfect and finished up the exterior lighting. Even after the project was finished this company ensured communicated to ensure everything was perfect. Super pleased. Thank you!
Everything about this group was extremely professional. Renovations can be challenging but they carefully made sure that their products and our original structures fit together seamlessly. We are truly looking forward to our new elegant deck that will be essentially maintenance free for many, many years. We will definitely use this company for future projects.
Matt Kuzdrall made our whole experience of purchasing two new roofs for our buildings at the Children's Recovery Center so easy. Matt was professional and had all the answers to any questions we had. He has followed up since our new roofs have been installed to make sure everything is still great. Matt is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone I know looking for a new roof.
