Lafayette James Hardie® Siding FAQs
Is James Hardie really Class-A and non-combustible?
Yes. James Hardie fiber cement is a non-combustible, Class-A cladding. It is a strong fit for homeowners in Lafayette who want better fire resistance than combustible siding options.
How does Hardie hold up to hail and wind?
Fiber cement is dense and impact-resistant, making it a strong choice for Colorado’s hail season and gusty storm cycles. It will not dent like metal or crack like many lighter cladding materials.
What about woodpeckers?
Hardie’s fiber-cement composition is highly resistant to pecking damage, which is a major advantage over wood and some composite sidings in treed neighborhoods.
How long does a typical project take?
Most homes finish in about 7 to 12 working days once materials are onsite, depending on scope, weather, and inspections.
