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.
Fiber cement's durability depends heavily on correct cutting, fastening, and edge sealing during install.
Corrosion-resistant fasteners are used throughout, since standard fasteners can react poorly with cement-based material. 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.
Unsealed cut edges are the most common cause of early trim failure on fiber cement jobs. Any cut edge gets a coat of touch-up primer before caulking, which the factory edge already has but a field cut doesn't.
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. We note impact direction and pattern, which helps distinguish hail from a single fallen-branch strike for claim purposes.
Older fiber cement installs sometimes used incorrect fasteners — we identify and correct this during repair or re-side work. 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.
Workmanship on fiber cement work is guaranteed the same as any material we install.
Hail damage assessment found cracking we couldn't see ourselves, which helped the insurance claim go smoother.
Repair crew color-matched a cracked panel so well we can't find it now.
Trim work around every window is sealed properly, no gaps like our old siding had.
Fiber cement held up through a bad hail season better than our neighbor's vinyl did.
