James Hardie Fiber Cement · 30-Year Warranty
Siding
built to outlast Texas.
James Hardie fiber cement siding installed properly across Waco, Temple, Killeen, Austin and 26 Central Texas cities. Won’t rot. Won’t burn. Won’t get eaten by termites. HOA-approved colors. 30-year warranty. Real curb appeal that holds up under Hill Country sun.
Why Hardie Wins Texas
Fiber cement actually outlasts vinyl.
☼
Won’t fade or warp
Texas sun makes vinyl brittle, faded, and warped within 10–15 years. Hardie ColorPlus baked-on color holds. 30-year warranty against fade.
⌁
Hail-resistant
Vinyl cracks and shatters in serious hail. Fiber cement takes the impact and keeps going. Insurance carriers know — many give premium discounts for Hardie installs.
✕
Pests & rot proof
Termites can’t eat fiber cement. Moisture can’t rot it. Carpenter ants ignore it. Central Texas wood siding fails — fiber cement just keeps going.
⌂
Resale ROI
Remodeling Magazine: fiber cement siding consistently returns 77%+ at resale — the highest of any exterior remodel. Texas buyers ask about siding type before they ask about kitchens.

Common Questions
Siding answers before you ask.
Is James Hardie really worth the extra cost over vinyl?
For Central Texas homes, yes — and the math is clear. Vinyl runs $15K–$25K and lasts 15–20 years before fading. Hardie runs $18K–$32K and lasts 30+ years with the color factory-baked. Lower lifetime cost. Higher resale. Better hail performance.
Will Hardie work with my HOA?
Most Central Texas HOAs approve James Hardie ColorPlus colors specifically — Hardie publishes neighborhood-friendly palettes. We’ve worked through dozens of HOAs from Round Rock to Hewitt and know how to phrase the architectural review submission.
Can you replace just damaged sections?
Yes for isolated damage on relatively new siding. If your siding is 15+ years old with widespread fade or damage, partial replacement looks patched. Full replacement looks intentional and consistent — and the resale math usually favors the full job.
How long does a siding job take?
For a typical Central Texas single-family home, 5–10 days on-site. We tear off, inspect substrate for moisture or rot, address what we find, then install. Weather and home size shift the timeline.
Does Hardie need painting?
Hardie ColorPlus comes with factory-baked color and a 15-year fade warranty. Most homeowners never paint it. If you want a custom color outside the palette, we install primed Hardie and paint on site — still better than vinyl, but the ColorPlus path is lower-maintenance.
