Our Process

How James Hardie Siding Installation Works

What actually happens during a professional fiber cement siding installation, start to finish.

โ—†

Remove Old Siding

Full tear-off down to the sheathing โ€” not installed over existing siding, which traps moisture and hides problems.

โ—†

Inspect & Repair Framing

Sheathing and framing are inspected for rot or water damage, with any compromised sections replaced before siding goes on.

โ—†

Check Insulation

Wall insulation is assessed where accessible during the re-side, with options to add or upgrade it if needed.

โ—†

Install Weather-Resistant Barrier

A house wrap moisture barrier goes over the sheathing before siding โ€” the layer that actually keeps water out of your walls.

โ—†

Flashing & Trim First

Flashing around windows, doors, and corners is installed before the siding panels, per James Hardie's installation specifications.

โ—†

Install James Hardie Panels

Panels are fastened with the correct nail type and spacing, with proper clearances at the ground and roofline to prevent moisture wicking.

โ—†

Seal & Finish

Seams are caulked, and any factory finish touch-ups are completed for a clean, uniform look.

โ—†

Final Walkthrough

We walk the finished job with you and clean up the site before we consider it done.
