Beantown Siding is Your James Hardie Elite Preferred Siding Expert

Replacing the siding on your home is a renovation project that can increase the value of your property. Not only will it look great from the outside, but proper siding with strong materials also helps protect against storms and other weather conditions that often cause wear-and-tear.

Fiber cement siding consists of a combination of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers creating a robust and resilient material for homes. It’s heavier than some of the other siding options available but has coveted benefits and perks that could make it the choice for you and your home.

With so many viable choices available for siding, it can be challenging to identify the best possible material for your home. Your house is one of your most important investments, after all, and you want to be sure you make the smartest decision possible. Learning more about every option will give you valuable information before consulting with a fiber cement siding contractor. To help, here are some of the benefits of fiber cement siding.

Longevity

Most Hardie board siding comes with a 50-year, limited transferable warranty. This siding is completely rotting and insect-resistant and can even handle the salt spray from the ocean.

Appearance

Hardie board siding can be made to mimic just about any other siding material, including wood lap boards, cedar shingles, and wood shake siding. Color options are virtually unlimited. These colors are accompanied by a 15-year warranty on the finish.

Fire Resistance

Hardie board siding is 90 percent sand and cement which makes it fire-resistant. Case in point, a St. Paul Minnesota house fire torched two fire trucks parked 60 feet away, but the cement board siding home next door, 50 feet away, remained unscathed.

Storm Resistance

Whether you’re looking for a siding material that can withstand the next Katrina, or one that can fend off the next summer hailstorm without sustaining damage, cement board siding is a proven commodity in the weather department.

If this material is of interest to you, it’s necessary to hire a fiber cement siding company and have professionals install it, since it requires specific equipment and skills. We wouldn’t recommend installing it yourself because cement can be very dangerous without the necessary techniques. So, fitting it to your home may cost a little extra.

As some of you may know fiber cement has a reputation for being expensive and rightfully so being a far better quality product than most others. That being said, one big option that only Beantown Home Improvements offers is a hybrid approach to the installation. In every case our hybrid approach allows you to get the look and feel of a Hardie job with a few options that can save you 25-30%! Ask us about our hybrid installation.
