Elite Preferred is the highest certification James Hardie awards to siding contractors. It requires documented training, years of proven installation experience, verified insurance, and a quality track record confirmed by James Hardie itself. Glacier is one of the only Elite Preferred contractors between Waco and Austin. This means your Hewitt siding installation meets the highest manufacturer standards — and your warranty is fully backed by James Hardie. Many Hewitt subdivisions have HOA requirements for siding materials, and James Hardie meets or exceeds every one.
The Glacier team brings over 40 years of combined experience installing siding across Central Texas. That means deep knowledge of Texas humidity, intense UV exposure, hail patterns, and HOA requirements that vary from neighborhood to neighborhood in Hewitt. From the established homes near Hewitt Park to the family neighborhoods along the I-35 corridor, our crews know the common siding issues and building styles throughout this community. Experience matters when it comes to proper flashing, caulking, and moisture management behind your siding.
James Hardie fiber cement siding carries a 30-year warranty against rot, warp, and fade — and it is not prorated. That means full coverage for the entire 30 years, not a warranty that loses value over time like most vinyl siding warranties. When installed by an Elite Preferred contractor like Glacier, you get the strongest warranty protection James Hardie offers.
Glacier maintains a perfect 5.0 out of 5 star rating on Google with consistent praise from homeowners across Central Texas, including many Hewitt families. Customers highlight the no-pressure estimates, transparent pricing, clean job sites, and professional crews. Glacier earns every review by treating each project like it is their own home.
HardiePlank is America’s number one brand of siding. It is built from fiber cement — a composite of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers — that resists fire, termites, rot, and hail impact. James Hardie ColorPlus Technology provides factory-finished colors that resist fading for 15+ years, far outlasting field-painted alternatives. Available in smooth or cedarmill textures to match any architectural style found in Hewitt neighborhoods.
HardiePanel delivers a board-and-batten vertical look that is popular for the modern farmhouse aesthetic seen throughout newer Hewitt developments. It offers the same fire, pest, and weather resistance as HardiePlank in a vertical format. Pair it with HardiePlank on the lower portions for a striking mixed-texture exterior that stands out in Hewitt subdivisions.
HardieTrim boards provide the complementary trim pieces for a complete finished look around windows, doors, corners, and fascia. Like all James Hardie products, HardieTrim is resistant to moisture damage and wood-boring insects, so your trim stays crisp and straight for decades — not like wood trim that rots and warps in Texas humidity.
For Hewitt homeowners looking for a budget-friendly siding alternative, Glacier also installs Prodigy insulated vinyl siding. Prodigy features built-in foam insulation that improves energy performance and creates a solid feel. While it does not match the durability or longevity of James Hardie fiber cement, it is a strong option for homeowners who want an upgrade at a lower cost.
Not all siding contractors are the same. Here is how Glacier Home Exteriors stands apart from other siding companies serving the Hewitt area:
James Hardie siding typically costs $8 to $12 per square foot installed in the Hewitt area, depending on the style, finish, and complexity of the project. This includes tear-off and disposal of your old siding. Glacier provides free estimates with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners.
Yes — fiber cement lasts 2 to 3 times longer than vinyl siding, does not warp or melt in Texas heat, and resists hail, termites, and fire. Homes with James Hardie siding also command higher resale value. The 30-year non-prorated warranty far exceeds the typical 10-year prorated vinyl warranty. Over the life of your Hewitt home, James Hardie is the better investment.
Most homes in the Hewitt area are completed in 1 to 2 weeks depending on the size of the home and complexity of the project. Glacier coordinates the full timeline during your estimate so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Yes — Glacier assists with HOA submissions including color selections from the James Hardie ColorPlus palette of over 700 factory-finished colors. Glacier prepares the paperwork and color samples so the approval process is as smooth as possible for Hewitt homeowners with HOA requirements.
HardiePlank is horizontal lap siding — it delivers the traditional look most homeowners are familiar with. HardiePanel is vertical board-and-batten siding — it provides a modern farmhouse look that is increasingly popular in Central Texas. Both are made from fiber cement with the same durability, weather resistance, and 30-year warranty. Many Hewitt homeowners combine both styles for a custom look.
