For over a decade, Solomon Contracting has been expertly installing James Hardie fiber cement siding, confidently recommending it to our clients for its exceptional protection, fire resistance, low maintenance, and long-lasting durability. This premium siding is the ideal choice to safeguard your home while elevating its beauty and value.
Superior Protection for Your Home
James Hardie siding, made from Portland cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, provides robust defense against weather, pests, and impacts. Engineered for Climate® through the Hardie® Zone System, it’s tailored to our region’s conditions—HZ5® for wet, freezing climates and HZ10® for hot, humid ones. It resists shrinking, swelling, cracking, and moisture, preventing rot, mold, and structural damage. Impervious to termites and woodpeckers, it eliminates pest-related repairs. Solomon Contracting’s expert installation ensures a watertight fit, maximizing protection and maintaining the siding’s 30-year warranty.
Fire-Resistant for Safety
James Hardie siding is non-combustible, earning a Class A fire rating with a flame spread index of 0 (ASTM E84). Unlike wood, which burns, or vinyl, which melts, it doesn’t ignite or fuel fires, slowing fire spread in emergencies. During a 2018 Camp Fire, a Hardie-sided home survived while others perished, proving its resilience. This fire resistance may also lower insurance premiums. Solomon Contracting’s precise installation enhances these safety benefits, protecting your home in fire-prone areas.
Low-Maintenance for Easy Upkeep
Designed for minimal upkeep, James Hardie siding requires only occasional cleaning with a hose and mild soap. Its ColorPlus® Technology delivers fade-resistant, baked-on colors that resist chipping and peeling, reducing the need for repainting. Moisture and pest resistance prevents rot, mildew, or insect damage, saving on repairs. Solomon Contracting’s professional installation ensures proper sealing, minimizing future maintenance. The siding’s durability is backed by a 30-year non-prorated, transferable warranty, ensuring hassle-free performance.
Long-Lasting Durability
With a lifespan of up to 50 years, James Hardie siding is a lasting investment. Its robust composition withstands harsh weather, pests, and wear, supported by a 30-year warranty for siding and 15 years for ColorPlus® finishes. The Hardie® Zone System ensures climate-specific resilience, preventing damage from temperature or humidity extremes. Solomon Contracting’s James Hardie-trained installers use precise techniques to ensure longevity, delivering a cost-effective solution that boosts home value and curb appeal.
