James Hardie fiber cement is unusually unforgiving of bad installation. Fastener spacing, clearance to grade, flashing at every penetration and the right board for the climate zone are all specified, and all of them are invisible from the street once the job is done.
That is the whole reason the Elite Preferred tier exists, and the whole reason we take it seriously.

Every one of our installers is certified to install James Hardie products. That certification is what keeps the manufacturer warranty in force.

James Hardie has been making exterior materials for more than a hundred years, and asbestos-free fiber cement since the mid-1980s.
Most full exteriors on Long Island use two or three of these together. The trim and soffit are what make the difference between a siding job and a finished house.
James Hardie's best-selling product and the most popular brand of siding in America. Traditional clapboard lines, available in a full range of ColorPlus colors.
The classic, timeless Cape Cod look. Available in half-round, staggered or straight-edge styles, and the fastest way to add character to a plain elevation.
For a cleaner, more contemporary elevation. Board-and-batten and modern vertical layouts both start here.
Corners, windows, doors and rakes. Trim is what ties the exterior together, and mismatched trim is the fastest way to make good siding look cheap.
Soffits protect the roof and siding from the weather and are a common entry point for pests. Available in the same colors, so they match or deliberately contrast.
James Hardie is on Cape Cods, colonials, modern boxes, farmhouses and Brooklyn row houses across our service area. See the full project galleries.

Elite Preferred is James Hardie's top contractor designation.
