James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding Options

HardiePlank® Lap Siding

The most popular James Hardie siding choice for Houston-area homes. HardiePlank features traditional horizontal boards available in smooth and wood-grain textures, with select profiles offering additional architectural detail. Its classic appearance complements a wide range of home styles while providing excellent resistance to rot, termites, and weather-related deterioration.

HardieShingle® Siding

HardieShingle provides the distinctive appearance of traditional cedar shingles without many of the maintenance concerns associated with natural wood. Its textured design adds character and architectural interest, making it an excellent choice for gables, accent areas, and traditional home exteriors. Fiber cement construction resists rotting, warping, and termite damage.

HardiePanel® Vertical Siding

HardiePanel offers a clean, distinctive vertical siding appearance that works beautifully with contemporary, farmhouse, and traditional architectural styles. Available in various textures, it can be combined with HardieTrim boards to create a board-and-batten design. HardiePanel is an excellent option for accent walls, gables, or complete exterior renovations.

HardieTrim® Boards

HardieTrim provides the finishing details that complete a professional siding installation. Used around windows, doors, corners, fascia, and other architectural features, these fiber cement trim boards create clean, defined lines while offering resistance to moisture-related deterioration and termite damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

James Hardie fiber cement siding is built to handle everything Texas weather throws at it — and then some. With proper installation, you're looking at 30+ years of reliable performance. That's not marketing talk; that's real-world durability backed by a 30-year warranty. Houston's humidity, intense sun, and occasional hurricanes are exactly why we recommend fiber cement. It won't warp, rot, or fade like other materials do in our climate.
Here's the honest truth — fiber cement is about as low-maintenance as siding gets. Rinse it with a garden hose once a year to keep it looking fresh. Touch up any caulk every few years. Repaint every 10-15 years if you want to change colors or refresh the look. That's it. Just straightforward care that any homeowner can handle.
Fiber cement typically runs $15-20 per square foot installed — more than vinyl, less than natural wood. But here's what those numbers don't tell you: fiber cement saves you money over time. No constant maintenance like wood. No storm damage repairs like cheaper materials. We provide detailed, itemized quotes with no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay, every time.
