Is James Hardie Siding Durable?
James Hardie siding applies multiple coats (50 percent more than your average house painter uses) of their proprietary finish to every surface and edge of their siding and trim, leaving no spot uncovered.
The finish the company uses helps increase the life of your siding, allowing the company to offer significant warranties for each product.
James Hardie Siding Last for Years in Illinois
James Hardie cures the siding within a controlled environment between applying coats of their finish. Taking the time to cure the products creates a strong bond between the materials in the siding.
As a result, James Hardie siding can resist issues with peeling, chipping, or cracking, lasting longer and maintaining the beauty of your home.
James Hardie Siding Offers UV-Ray Resistance
Vinyl siding and paint both fade in the sun. However, ColorPlus® Technology from James Hardie can resist fading, so it looks good for longer.

Is There a Downside of James Hardie Siding?

How Long does James Hardie Siding Last?
James Hardie siding has a 30-year warranty from the manufacturer. But in real-people talk, James Hardie fiber cement is more durable, lasts longer than vinyl siding, and requires less maintenance than cedar siding.
It does not absorb water, is hail and fire-resistant, and, unlike OSB siding products, prevents insects or birds from penetrating. Therefore, the siding may last for decades with proper maintenance.

How Often do You Need to Paint Your James Hardie Siding?
James Hardie siding has a 15-year paint finish warranty from the manufacturer. However, the color may last longer than that in some cases. In many situations, the amount of maintenance you perform determines when you need to repaint.
A benefit of James Hardie siding is that if you choose to sell your home and the buyer does not love the color, they can paint it.
