Installed with corrosion-resistant fasteners and proper edge sealing, fiber cement holds up to hail, pests, and rot better than most alternatives.
Our saws use vacuum shrouds to control silica dust, a real jobsite hazard when cutting fiber cement dry.
Crews are certified on HardieZone requirements and manufacturer-approved fastening patterns, not general siding methods.
Certification gets renewed on a regular cycle, and we can show proof of current standing on request.
Fiber cement is heavier and requires precise handling — our crews are trained specifically for this material.
We carry the liability coverage appropriate for heavier-material installation work.
Cracked or impact-damaged fiber cement panels get prioritized quickly, especially after hail events.
New installation estimates are typically scheduled within the same week.
Fiber cement costs more upfront than vinyl, and your estimate reflects material and labor separately so the trade-off is clear.
Repairs are priced by scope, not bundled into a bigger sales pitch.
Here's the range of Fiber Cement Siding work our certified crews handle across New London, MN.
Lap siding installed with manufacturer-approved fastener spacing and factory-primed edge touch-up at every cut. Fastener heads get set flush, not overdriven, which is a common mistake that cracks the panel around the nail.
Cracked or impact-damaged panels get replaced individually, color-matched when the product line is still available. Caulking at the seam uses a paintable, flexible formulation rated for the material's slight seasonal movement.
Trim boards get installed with the same fastening discipline as field panels, with primed edges sealed at every cut. Trim reveal depth is checked against the panel butt joints so shadow lines stay consistent.
Fiber cement's paintable surface allows a full color change without replacing panels, when the surface is still sound. A 100% acrylic exterior formulation is used, matched to fiber cement manufacturer paint guidelines.
Impact damage documentation is provided in a format suited for insurance claims. A simple tap test alongside visual inspection can reveal cracking that hasn't fully separated yet.
Flashing details around windows and doors get upgraded to current best practice where needed. Older galvanized fasteners sometimes corrode faster than the fiber cement around them — we swap to stainless or coated fasteners on repairs.
We'll ask about panel age and any visible cracking to gauge scope before scheduling.
A certified estimator or technician arrives to inspect panels, fasteners, and edge sealing.
Insurance-relevant damage gets documented with photos as part of the assessment.
Installation or repair follows HardieZone fastening spec exactly, with edge sealing at every cut.
Install looks sharp and the crew clearly knew what they were doing with a heavier material — no chipped edges anywhere.
Repainted our aging fiber cement instead of replacing it and it looks brand new for a fraction of the cost.
They used a vacuum saw for every cut, which I appreciated with kids playing nearby during the install.
Found and fixed incorrect fasteners from our home's original install before they caused bigger problems.
