Glacier Home Exteriors is a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor — a distinction earned by the top 1% of siding installers in the country. We bring 30-year warranty coverage, HOA-approved materials, and expert craftsmanship to every siding project in Temple and Bell County. If you want fiber cement siding that stands up to the Central Texas climate and looks stunning for decades, we are the team to call.
Our James Hardie Elite Preferred status means we have met the highest standards for installation quality, training, and customer satisfaction. Fewer than 1% of siding contractors nationwide hold this designation. For Temple homeowners in neighborhoods like Midway, Stonegate, and Temple Lake Park, this certification ensures your siding is installed exactly to manufacturer specifications — which is the only way to activate the full 30-year warranty.
Because we are Elite Preferred, your James Hardie siding installation comes with a 30-year non-prorated product warranty that covers materials against defects. This is the strongest warranty James Hardie offers, and it is only available through their top-tier contractors. For a rapidly growing city like Temple where homes represent a major investment, this warranty provides serious protection.
Many Temple neighborhoods and subdivisions have strict HOA guidelines for exterior materials and colors. James Hardie products are approved by virtually every HOA in Bell County because of their premium appearance and proven durability. We help you select colors and styles that meet your HOA requirements while giving your home a fresh, modern look. Our team handles HOA submissions and approvals regularly.
Siding installation is only as good as the crew doing the work. Our installers are factory-trained by James Hardie and follow strict protocols for cutting, fastening, flashing, and caulking. We do not subcontract. Every project in Temple — from homes near Baylor Scott and White Medical Center to new builds along the I-35 corridor — is completed by our own experienced team.
HardiePlank is the most popular siding product in America and for good reason. It resists hail, wind, UV damage, moisture, and termites — all of which are concerns in Temple and Bell County. HardiePlank is available in smooth and cedarmill textures and comes pre-finished with ColorPlus technology for fade-resistant color that lasts. It is the go-to choice for Temple homeowners who want a classic horizontal lap look with modern fiber cement performance.
HardiePanel gives your Temple home a clean, contemporary look with vertical panel lines. It is ideal for accent walls, gable ends, or full-home applications. Like all James Hardie products, HardiePanel is engineered for the Texas climate zone and carries the same 30-year warranty when installed by an Elite Preferred contractor like Glacier.
HardieTrim boards provide the finishing touches that make your siding installation look complete and polished. Use them around windows, doors, corners, and fascia to create crisp, defined lines. HardieTrim does not rot, warp, or crack like wood trim, making it a perfect long-term solution for Temple homes exposed to Central Texas heat and humidity.
For homeowners who prefer insulated vinyl siding, Prodigy by Alside is the thickest and most energy-efficient vinyl siding panel on the market. Its built-in foam insulation adds R-value to your walls, reducing energy transfer and lowering heating and cooling costs. Prodigy is a strong option for Temple homeowners on a budget who still want premium performance and curb appeal.
Temple is located in the I-35 corridor between Waco and Austin — a region known for extreme heat, intense UV exposure, severe hail, and high humidity. Standard siding materials struggle in these conditions:
James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered specifically for the climate zone that includes Temple and Bell County. It does not rot, warp, crack, or attract pests. The ColorPlus finish resists fading even after years of direct sun exposure. And it carries a Class 1A fire rating, which provides peace of mind during dry Texas summers. For neighborhoods in Midway, Stonegate, and the expanding areas east of I-35, Hardie siding is the clear choice.
