Boost Your Property’s Resale Value
According to JLC’s 2024 Cost vs Value Report, replacing your home siding with fiber cement siding is one of the top remodeling projects homeowners can do to increase their property value. Fiber cement siding delivers an 88.4% ROI, which is outstanding!
Decrease Exterior Maintenance Needs
When cement, sand, and cellulose are combined, the result is strong fiber cement siding material that resists weather, pests, and damage. The resilient makeup of Hardie® siding keeps it intact despite the climate it’s exposed to 24/7. James Hardie’s consistent low-maintenance needs make your home more desirable when it goes on the market, boosting its value.
Increase the Safety and Security of Your Home
Hardie siding and trim is non-combustible, so it won’t fuel a fire. In fact, insurance companies give a price break to homeowners who cover their home with this strong siding material. Its Class A fire rating makes it a smart investment when it comes to the safety of your property and all those within it.
Provide Better Protection to Your Exterior
Durable Hardie siding is moisture-resistant, shielding your exterior from rain, snow, ice, and more. Its ability to withstand high winds and extreme temperatures contributes to its popularity. When you cover your home in fiber cement, it’s well protected from the rot, mold, mildew, and deterioration that moisture intrusion causes. This ensures you won’t need to deal with the costly hassle of siding repairs others experience due to their siding material choice. Hardie’s strong makeup causes it to outshine its competitors—simplifying your life and increasing your home value.
Save Time and Money with Hardie’s Longevity and Durability
Hardie fiber cement siding and trim products outlast many other siding material options, which require repair, maintenance, and replacement sooner than Hardie. When installed by a reputable contractor trained by the manufacturer (like us!) and maintained well over the years, this resilient siding material lasts up to 50 years! The durability and longevity Hardie siding consistently delivers make it highly desirable to potential home buyers and are a great selling point when your property goes on the market.
Enjoy Enduring Color
Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology finishes are baked onto their siding, trim, and soffit products, ensuring your whole exterior will maintain its gorgeous color over the years. This research-based siding finish was engineered to resist fading, chipping, and cracking. It may even lower maintenance costs and cycles, saving you time and money. The 15-year warranty this gorgeous color comes with is another strong selling point for your home, contributing to a high ROI.
Transfer Your 30-Year Warranty with Ease
All Hardie fiber cement siding, trim, and soffit products come with a 30-year, non-prorated, transferable warranty. This siding is so well engineered, the manufacturer stands behind it with one of the most robust warranties in the industry.
James Hardie requires their siding to be installed by a contractor they have trained themselves and who consistently meets their strict standards. The result? Your new siding is installed correctly so you can enjoy the long-term high performance you deserve. And if you sell your home during the 30-year warranty period, James Hardie transfers it to the new homeowner. That adds significant value to your home sale, which potential buyers are sure to love!
