Why James Hardie Siding Is the Best Low-Maintenance Siding Option

Ohio homes need reliable siding to withstand the elements 24/7. James Hardie siding offers not only durability but also low maintenance so you can spend more time doing the things you love most.

You’re Going to Love This Low Maintenance Siding

The type of siding material you choose has a direct impact on how much maintenance it will need throughout its lifetime. Wood siding requires high maintenance, and often needs repairs. It can tend to absorb moisture and require repairs if it’s not maintained properly. It will cost you time and money to keep wood siding in good condition.

Ohio home exteriors need to stand up to harsh weather and still perform well, protecting your home and family. James Hardie siding offers Ohio homeowners low maintenance you’re going to love. Its sturdy makeup consists of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, and it’s built to last.

Low maintenance siding gives you more time to enjoy life, and James Hardie is low maintenance. It only requires:

• Cleaning—Twice a year, wash your James Hardie siding with a garden hose and medium bristle nylon brush. Simply remove all dirt and grime, and your siding will look fabulous for years to come.
• Caulking—Check the seams in your James Hardie siding to verify your caulking is in good condition throughout your siding’s lifetime. Pay specific attention to the area around your windows and doors. If caulking looks faulty, simply replace it and your home will stay well sealed from the elements.
• Visual Inspection—Twice a year, and after severe storms, take a look at your home siding to see if there are any areas of it that need attention or repair. Prompt attention to any damage from storms will ensure your home stays well protected.

The Durability and Longevity of James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding

You can count on fiber cement siding to protect your home for years to come. It can last up to 50 years as long as it was installed properly and maintained well.

Hardie siding is engineered for specific climates. The HardieZone® System combats the unique weather in your region of the country.

James Hardie siding stands up against weather with ease. It looks fabulous and shields your home in spite of your home exterior’s direct contact with the elements 24/7. Hardie siding withstands rain, hail, high winds, storms, snow, ice, harsh humidity, and abrupt changes in temperature. Avoid the hassles involved in rotting, swelling, or warping by choosing durable Hardie siding.

The Pest Resistance of James Hardie Siding

Pests can cause expensive damage to your home siding. When insects infiltrate your siding, your home’s protection is compromised and moisture can penetrate your home as a result. When moisture intrusion occurs (primarily with wood siding), mold, mildew, and wood rot can result, creating the need for high maintenance and repairs.

Hardie siding resists pests including termites, stink bugs, and carpenter ants. Avoid the hassles of pest infestation and moisture damage by investing in the durable performance of Hardie Board siding.

The Woodpecker Resistance of James Hardie Siding

Wood siding attracts woodpeckers, and they can wreak havoc on your home siding. Woodpeckers are constantly looking for shelter, and wood siding creates the perfect place for breeding. Woodpeckers feast on insects and may even damage siding just to get to insects for food. One of the worst things about woodpeckers is that they return year after year. The only way to keep them off your home siding is to install siding that doesn’t attract them.

James Hardie fiber cement siding is so durable and impenetrable that woodpeckers aren’t attracted to it. Your home is well protected with the woodpecker resistance of Hardie siding.
