FAQS
Things Calgarians Need to Know About Hardie Board Siding
With the crazy weather we get in Calgary, you need to make sure your house is protected. These FAQ’s might help you feel confident about your investment in vinyl siding.
Why should I use Hardie board siding in Calgary?
Many of our customers prefer Hardie board siding because it is long-lasting, durable, and extremely low-maintenance. It makes a particularly great option for Calgary homes because it resists hail impact damage and withstands seasonal temperature changes without warping, unlike many other siding materials.
How long does Hardie board siding normally last?
When you hire professionals like Big 5 to install Hardie board siding on your home, it can last for decades. Some homeowners have reported their Hardie board siding lasting for up to 50 years. It’s incredibly durable, though it can still be damaged by extreme weather and freak accidents. You can expect it to last many years with little maintenance.
How do I maintain my Hardie board siding?
Cleaning and maintaining Hardie board siding is very easy. Use water and a soft cloth to wipe down your siding whenever it becomes dusty, dirty, or oily. For oil or grease spills, you may also want to use a mild cleaning solution such as dish detergent. Avoid abrasive brushes and cleaners, as these can damage the siding’s finish.
Does Hardie board siding cost more?
In the short term, Hardie board siding costs more per square foot than vinyl siding, and less than brick or high-quality wood siding. However, in the long term, Hardie board siding often provides better value because it can outlast siding made from most other materials.
What warranties does Hardie board siding come with?
All James Hardie siding comes with a limited 25-year manufacturer’s warranty that guarantees it will remain free from defects in materials or workmanship. When you hire Big 5, we also provide a 5-year installation warranty that covers our work.
How long does Hardie board siding take to install?
Hiring us to install siding on a typical two-story home usually takes about a week (5–6 business days) from quote to completion. Larger houses may require more time.
Can I paint Hardie board siding?
Hardie board siding already comes in a variety of colours and textures, so there’s no need to paint it immediately after installation. However, some homeowners choose to paint their Hardie board siding after a few years to give their home a different look and provide extra protection from the elements. Be aware that painting may affect the manufacturer’s warranty. Contact us for details.
Why should I hire Big 5 to install my Hardie board siding?
Hardie board siding is a long-term investment, so choosing the right contractors is vital. At Big 5, we’ve spent over a decade installing Hardie board siding on Calgary homes, so we know how to do the job efficiently and get it right the first time. All installations are also guaranteed by our signature 5-year warranty.
