How much does siding replacement cost in Lorena?
A typical Lorena-area home (2,000-2,800 sq ft, 2,000-2,400 sq ft of siding surface) runs $24,000-$38,000 for James Hardie HardiePlank with factory ColorPlus finish, full tear-off, house wrap, and 1-year Glacier labor warranty. LP SmartSide engineered wood runs $20,000-$32,000 for the same home. Multi-profile combinations (lap + board-and-batten + shingle) run 15-25% above single-profile.
How long does a Lorena siding install take?
From signed contract to install start: typically 4-6 weeks. Manufacturing lead time on James Hardie ColorPlus drives most of the timeline. HOA architectural review runs 2-3 weeks in parallel where applicable. On-site install: 4-7 working days for most Lorena homes.
Why factory ColorPlus instead of field-painted Hardie in Lorena?
Three reasons. (1) ColorPlus factory finish carries a 15-year paint warranty — field-applied paint typically lasts 5-7 years in Central Texas UV. (2) ColorPlus eliminates the cost and disruption of repainting the home twice over the 30-year siding life. (3) Factory-baked finish bonds to the cement-fiber substrate more durably than field paint. ColorPlus typically adds 10-15% to the project cost but pays back through eliminated repainting.
