With decades of experience, we know which materials offer lasting value, performance, and style, so we proudly install James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding. Read on to learn why James Hardie siding is a wise investment for homeowners looking to boost curb appeal and protect their homes from the elements.

What Is James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding?

James Hardie fiber cement siding is crafted from a blend of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers, creating an incredibly strong and durable material. This composition allows it to withstand Denver’s fluctuating weather, from hot summers and freezing winters to intense UV exposure and hailstorms.

Here are just a few of the standout benefits of fiber cement siding:

• Exceptional Durability: Engineered to resist cracking, warping, and swelling, even under extreme weather conditions.

• Non-Combustible: Unlike wood or vinyl, fiber cement is fire-resistant and won’t ignite when exposed to direct flame.

• Moisture and Rot Resistance: Prevents water absorption, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, or deterioration.

• Pest Resistance: Fiber cement is unappealing to termites, woodpeckers, and other wood-destroying pests.

• Long Lifespan: Built to last for decades, even with minimal upkeep.

These advantages make fiber cement one of the most reliable and resilient siding options on the market, ideal for homes in Denver’s varied climate.

How Do I Maintain My Fiber Cement Siding in Denver?

One of the biggest perks of choosing James Hardie siding is how easy it is to maintain. Unlike wood siding, which requires frequent painting or sealing, fiber cement can be cleaned with only a garden hose and a soft-bristle (non-metal) brush. This light maintenance keeps your siding looking fresh without needing to rent a pressure washer, which is actually not recommended and can damage the surface.

James Hardie siding also features proprietary ColorPlus® Technology, which delivers a vibrant, fade-resistant finish that’s factory-applied and baked on for maximum durability. This multi-coat, cured finish forms a strong bond that resists peeling, chipping, and cracking, eliminating the need to repaint your home every few years. In addition to saving time and money, it ensures your exterior maintains its beauty for the long haul.

Is Fiber Cement Siding Available in Different Styles?

Absolutely. James Hardie offers a wide range of textures, finishes, and profiles, making it easy to find a look that complements your home’s architecture and suits your personal taste. Whether you're going for modern minimalism or classic charm, there’s a Hardie siding style to match.

Popular profiles include:

• Lap Siding – A timeless look that works with almost any architectural style.

• Vertical Siding – Great for contemporary designs or adding visual height to a home’s exterior.

• Shingle Siding – Ideal for Cape Cod or cottage-style homes, offering the look of wood shingles without the maintenance.

• Trim and Soffit Panels – Designed to complete your home’s exterior with clean, coordinated lines and added dimension.

Finishes range from smooth to woodgrain or stucco-style textures, and you can choose from a palette of prefinished color options to perfectly match your home’s character.
