Installation Information

It takes a great deal of specialized knowledge and skill in order to install James Hardie siding correctly. The procedures for installing this product differ from other siding brands. Incorrect installation can result in warped, crooked or sagging siding – and worst of all, an invalid warranty. At Hollingsworth Home Improvement our crews have been specifically trained to install the James Hardie product correctly & efficiently.

The HardieZone™ System

James Hardie siding products are now engineered with distinct climate areas in mind. The Chicagoland area has been designated HZ5™, which means that our Hardie products have been designed to sustain freezing temperatures, extreme seasonal temperature variations, snow and ice. The surface has been developed to provide superior paint adhesion and moisture resistance. It is truly an exterior siding product that has been specifically engineered to cope with the challenges of Chicagoland weather.

ColorPlus® Technology

The homeowner can choose to purchase James Hardie siding either primed (to be painted with the homeowners choice of color on site) or painted using Hardie’s patented ColorPlus® Technology. Application of multiple coats of paint combine with a baked-on coating to provide exterior paint durability 2x greater than on site application. In fact, James Hardie provides a 15-year warranty on their ColorPlus® finish guaranteeing it won’t peel, chip or fade! There is a wide variety of color choices available, as well as coordinating trim and accessory options.
