Siding replacement is among the most valuable investments you can undertake for your home. Not only can a new siding improve your home’s appeal from the outside; it can potentially increase its overall energy efficiency. As far as brands are concerned, professional contractors recommend only the best and one of those is James Hardie®.

In this post, trusted siding installer ExteriorPros talks about the three popular siding profiles that James Hardie offers and why this brand is trusted by contractors and homeowners everywhere.
- HardiePlank® Lap Siding – This siding profile, which suits almost any home style, is their most popular siding profile and can offer you a soft texture that mimics the classic look and feel of wood. Siding and soffit contractors recommend it, as every product under this selection is durable, long-lasting, and comes in an impressive variety of colors that are sure to suit any architectural style.
- HardieShingle® Siding – This type of siding perfectly matches Cape Cod homes and is often associated with this home style. However, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t go well with other home styles. HardieShingle siding has the distinct look of cedar shake siding without requiring frequent maintenance.
- HardiePanel® Vertical Siding – Want to add an instant aesthetic boost to your home’s design? Consider installing the HardiePanel Vertical Siding to your home. Like the HardiePlank lap siding option, this material from James Hardie suits any home style and has a natural cedar look that has a charming texture, allowing it to replicate genuine wood siding.
James Hardie’s fiber cement siding doesn’t cost as much as wood but it offers the latter’s classic charm and beauty. It’s also resistant to swelling, cracking, and buckling. All James Hardie siding products come with a baked-on ColorPlus® Technology that resists fading, chipping, and cracking, saving you on maintenance costs.
