Our Fiber Cement Siding Installation Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation and Assessment
We start by inspecting your current siding and listening to what you want. Our team takes detailed measurements of your home and checks for any underlying issues that need attention. You'll get an accurate, itemized quote based on real measurements — not ballpark estimates. We keep things simple and transparent from day one.
Step 2: Product Selection and Design
Time to choose your materials. We'll walk you through HardiePlank lap siding, HardieShingle, and HardiePanel options that work best for Houston's heat and humidity. Pick colors and textures that complement your home's architecture — we'll show you samples and explain how each performs in Texas weather. No pressure to upgrade, just honest guidance on what works.
Step 3: Preparation and Removal
Proper prep work makes the difference between siding that lasts 5 years and siding that lasts 50. We carefully remove your existing siding and inspect every inch of the underlying structure. Any damaged sheathing or framing gets repaired before we install a single board. Your home's bones need to be solid for fiber cement to perform its best.
Step 4: Installation and Flashing
This is where craftsmanship counts. We follow James Hardie's best practices to the letter — proper spacing for our climate, correct fastening patterns, and weatherproofing details that keep moisture out. Every board gets installed with the precision your home deserves. We don't cut corners because we're your neighbors, and we stand behind our work.
Step 5: Trim and Finishing Work
The details matter. We complete your installation with coordinating trim pieces, professional caulking, and a thorough quality inspection. Every seam, every corner, every edge gets checked. When we're done, you'll have fiber cement siding built to handle whatever Texas weather throws at it — backed by our stress-free warranty.
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding Options
HardiePlank Lap Siding
Traditional horizontal boards in smooth, wood grain, or beaded textures. The most popular choice for Texas homes — and for good reason. These boards handle our summer heat and hurricane-force winds without warping or cracking.
HardieShingle Siding
Cedar shake appearance without the maintenance concerns. You get that classic coastal look that works beautifully in Houston neighborhoods, but these shingles won't rot in our humidity or split in the sun.
HardiePanel Vertical Siding
Modern vertical planks for contemporary home designs. Clean lines that stay straight through decades of Texas weather. Perfect for accent walls or complete home transformations.
HardieTrim Boards
Coordinating trim pieces for windows, doors, and corners. The details matter — these boards resist moisture and insects while maintaining crisp edges that frame your home perfectly.
Artisan Collection
Premium textures including rustic and smooth finishes. When you want something special, these high-end options deliver distinctive character. Built to the same exacting standards as every James Hardie product.
