Color Accuracy:Have you ever taken a gallon of paint back to the store because it didn't match the rest of your project? How would you feel if one side of your house was a shade darker than the rest? James Hardie's color variance accuracy standards for our ColorPlus technology finish are three times stricter than what's acceptable for most "store-bought" paints and more tightly controlled than the automotive industry. Application Consistency:James Hardie's proprietary manufacturing process involves applying consistent, multiple coats of paint that was developed especially for our fiber-cement siding. Then, the paint is baked-on in a closely controlled factory environment. This automated manufacturing process, constant quality monitoring and application of up to 50% more paint - compared to field-applied paint - provides the most consistent paint application at the optimal thickness. Fade Resistance: Many alternative siding product finishes and paint that's applied "in the field" can fade quite substantially over time, making the colors dull and difficult to match when repairs or touch-ups are needed later on. Paintable:If you prefer to choose your own colors, James Hardie offers their original preprimed product which, unlike some other siding options, can be painted. And because fiber cement siding does not expand and contract, it holds paint better than wood. With a good paint schedule, you may get 10 - 12 years if you use a high grade of paint.

PRODUCT INSTALLATIONPreparing Your Home for James Hardie SidingReplacing Existing Lap Siding: Your wood, vinyl or aluminum siding will be removed from the walls. Once removed, we will ensure there is a solid nail base (such as plywood or OSB sheathing) and that it is fully nailed off per the current building code. If there is water or termite damage to the sheathing or framing, as a licensed Florida contractor, John Anderson has the knowledge necessary to recognize and resolve these issues. Replacing Existing T-111 or Panel Siding: If your siding is not rotted or damaged, we will not have to remove it. If there is only minor damage, in most cases, we will only have to replace the rotted panels. We will nail off the existing panels to current building code to ensure we have a solid nail base for the siding application. Installing Over Concrete walls: To prepare your walls for the siding, we will install furring strips at 16 inches on center. If you would like additional insullation, we can install foil faced foam panels or foil faced roll insullation to reflect the sun's heat to keep your house cooler and dryer. Installing Over Stucco Walls: First we will ensure the stucco is level and firmly attached to the structure. If not, we will make a recommendation based on your building's stucture (eg. frame or concrete block). To prepare your walls for the siding, we will install furring strips at 16 inches on center. If you would like additional insullation, we can install foil faced foam panels or foil faced roll insullation to reflect the sun's heat to keep your house cooler and dryer. Installing James Hardie SidingWhen the nail base is properly prepared, we will install James Hardie's vapor barrier, new flashing around all windows and doors and, if needed, metal flashing at the base of the house or gables. Now your house will be completely water tight. We will blind nail the new siding for a clean, nail-free appearance on your walls. When we install the trim we use stainless steel nails for their weather resistance and increased holding capacity. Finally we will caulk the siding and trim using top quality caulk to the manufacturer's specifications. According James Hardie's installation guide, the bottom of the laps should never be caulked to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of the building structure. If you are not using a ColorPlus product, we will paint your house using top quality, 100% acryllic primer and paint. Although the siding comes preprimed, we apply an additional coat of primer to improve paint color retention and prevent shadowing. Finally, we apply two coats of paint in your choice of color. It has been our experience that with this paint schedule and proper care, your paint should have a life expectancy of 10 to 12 years.
