James Hardie Product Options

HardiePlank® Lap Siding

HardiePlank lap siding provides a timeless, traditional appearance that complements a wide range of Houston-area homes. Available in various widths, textures, and finishes, it offers the classic look of wood siding with the durability of fiber cement. HardiePlank resists rot, termite damage, and many of the moisture-related problems associated with traditional wood siding.

HardieShingle® Siding

HardieShingle siding recreates the distinctive appearance of traditional cedar shingles without the maintenance requirements of natural wood. Its textured design adds architectural character and works particularly well with Craftsman, Cape Cod, and traditional home styles. HardieShingle can be used throughout the exterior or as an accent in gables and other architectural features.

HardiePanel® Vertical Siding

HardiePanel vertical siding provides a clean, distinctive appearance that complements contemporary, modern farmhouse, and traditional architectural styles. Often combined with HardieTrim boards to create a board-and-batten design, HardiePanel adds visual interest and architectural character. Its fiber cement construction offers durability and dimensional stability in Houston’s changing weather conditions.

HardieTrim® Boards

HardieTrim boards provide the finishing details that complete a professionally installed siding project. Common applications include window and door trim, corner boards, fascia, and architectural accents. Available in various dimensions and textures, HardieTrim complements James Hardie siding products while offering resistance to rot, termites, and moisture-related deterioration.

HardieZone® Climate-Engineered Siding

James Hardie’s HardieZone system was developed to address the different climate conditions found throughout North America. Products designated for the HZ10 climate zone are engineered for regions with hot temperatures, humidity, and significant rainfall, making them well suited for Houston-area homes. This climate-specific approach helps provide dependable performance and long-term durability when products are properly selected and installed.

Frequently Asked Questions

James Hardie siding is built to handle Texas weather — we're talking 30+ years of protection against our humid summers, hurricane seasons, and everything in between. The fiber cement construction resists moisture, won't warp in our heat, and stands up to wind-driven rain better than any other siding material we've installed. Your neighbors who installed James Hardie 20 years ago? Their homes still look sharp.
Here's the straight story: James Hardie is fiber cement, vinyl is plastic. In Houston's heat, vinyl can warp, fade, and even melt near your grill. James Hardie won't budge — it's five times thicker, resists fire, and holds paint colors for years. We've torn off plenty of failed vinyl to install James Hardie. Never the other way around.
James Hardie siding is about as low-maintenance as it gets. A simple rinse with your garden hose once a year keeps it looking fresh. No special cleaners, no resealing, no repainting generally for 10+ years. Compare that to wood siding that needs painting every 5-8 years, and you'll see why Houston homeowners choose James Hardie.
Every home is different, but we keep our pricing straightforward. James Hardie siding typically runs between $15 to $20 per square foot installed, depending on your home's size, the style you choose, and any repairs needed underneath. We'll measure your home, inspect your current siding, and give you an exact price — no surprises, no hidden fees. The price we quote is the price you pay.
You get two layers of protection here. James Hardie backs their siding with a 30-year limited warranty that covers material defects. On top of that, we guarantee our installation work for 5 years. We've been installing siding in Houston for over two decades, and we stand behind every job.
