Kelly Smart:
On this home, everything was original.
Tom Tynan:
Pressboard siding may look good at first, but it does have a lifespan.
Kelly Smart:
House was built in the early ’90s. Basically, it’s a particle board material, and just over time, moisture, squirrels chewing on it, it was just expired, and it needed to be replaced.
Tom Tynan:
This homeowner chose new siding designed for long-term durability and low maintenance.
Kelly Smart:
James Hardie siding is a fiber cement siding, 90% concrete. It does not rot.
Tom Tynan:
You’ve heard me say it before: choose the right siding, put it in the right hands.
Kelly Smart:
Just as important as the siding itself, who’s installing it? We’re trained to install James Hardie siding. We’ve been installing it for years. We are a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor, and we install the product properly on the home. That way, you ensure you get the full warranty, and it’s going to last a long time.
Tom Tynan:
With James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractors, the big difference is all the little details.
Kelly Smart:
Some of the things that a lot of people don’t do is we install joint flashing at each joint. Any cut edges that are in the field, we prime them before we put them up in the wall. The clearance between the roof and the siding’s very important. We make sure that we leave a nice gap.
Tom Tynan:
And in a week’s time, this home looks as good as new.
Kelly Smart:
We did this job in six days.
Tom Tynan:
James Hardie siding is an investment in the future of your home.
Kelly Smart:
It lasts very well for our climate. It holds paint well, and it’s going to last a very long time.
Tom Tynan:
