Fiber Cement Siding: A Great Solution for Remodeling Projects

It only takes one bad experience with siding—whether warped material, melted cladding, inauthentic looks, or faded colors—for homeowners to be ready for an upgrade when it comes time to remodel their exterior. Hardie? fiber cement siding is an ideal option for customers seeking a high-performance option that will boost curb appeal while standing the test of time and requiring little maintenance.?

From ColorPlus? Technology finishes to industry-leading durability to a top-notch contractor program, here are a few reasons to promote products by James Hardie for remodeling projects.

Leading Resale Value

Fiber cement siding not only provides a beautiful look and trusted performance for the current homeowners, but its appeal to other buyers means optimal return on the remodeling dollar. Year after year, siding replacement with fiber cement siding ranks among the top projects netting homeowners the best ROI in the Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, which compares the average cost of remodeling projects with the value they retain at resale. The 2024 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report revealed that fiber cement retains 88.4% of its investment, the sixth-highest return among all 23 projects evaluated.*

Color That Lasts—With Selection Support

The proprietary ColorPlus? Technology finishes available with Hardie? siding and trim provide countless color options in an ultra-durable finish. Unlike wood-composite siding that typically depends on third-party pre-finishing, James Hardie manufactures its boards and applies ColorPlus? Technology finishes in the same factory. The baked-on color is cured between coats, creating a strong bond that resists peeling, chipping, and cracking—and ensures years of lasting character and fade resistance.?

Homeowners who have been plagued with buyer’s remorse over color selections in the past can find additional peace of mind with the Hover? Design Studio app, brought to you by James Hardie. The tool allows users to upload an image of their home and experiment with textures and colors of Hardie? siding and trim to visualize how they will look on their home’s exterior.
