Quick Answer: Who Installs James Hardie® Siding in Broomfield, CO?
Northern Lights Exteriors is a James Hardie® Elite Preferred siding contractor serving Broomfield, CO since 2001. Locally it gets called Hardie board, HardiePlank® or just fiber cement — same product family. We handle full siding replacement, fiber cement installation, and siding repair across Broomfield — 80020, 80021 and 80023 — including Anthem, Broadlands, Interlocken, McKay Landing, Willow Run and Wildgrass. We are also a Class C General Contractor, so when a siding tear-off exposes window flashing, trim rot or roof-to-wall detailing, we can correct it under one licensed contractor instead of handing you a second trade.
Why Broomfield homes end up on fiber cement: Broomfield sits in the Front Range hail corridor, and much of the housing stock is 1990s–2000s subdivision construction originally clad in builder-grade siding that is now at the end of its service life. Fiber cement does not dent like aluminum, does not crack and fade like aged vinyl, and does not feed a fire the way wood does. It also holds color far longer at Broomfield’s altitude, where UV is the quiet killer of cheap finishes.
Why Broomfield Homeowners Choose James Hardie
- Wildfire & Ember Resistant: Class-A, non-combustible materials suited for Front Range conditions.
- Hail & Impact Durable: Built for Colorado’s hail season and sudden summer storms.
- UV Fade Defense: Factory ColorPlus® finish holds color in Broomfield’s high-altitude sun.
- Moisture & Freeze-Thaw Protection: Resists swelling, warping, and rot through snow and spring melt cycles.
- HOA & Permit Help: We coordinate Broomfield approvals, submittals, color boards, and inspections.

That is why James Hardie is such a strong fit for Broomfield neighborhoods like Anthem, Broadlands, Miramonte, Broomfield Heights, Brandywine, Highland Park, McKay Landing, and Redleaf.

Siding Repair in Broomfield — and When Repair Is the Wrong Answer
A large share of the people searching for siding repair in Broomfield do not actually need a full replacement, and we will say so. Repair is the right call when the damage is localised and the rest of the wall is sound — a hail-cracked board on one elevation, a failed piece of trim, a soft spot where a downspout has been dumping against the wall for years.
When we repair
- Isolated impact damage — a few cracked or punched boards on the weather side after a hail event, with the rest of the cladding intact.
- Trim and fascia rot — often the first thing to fail, and usually fixable without touching the field of the wall.
- Localised water intrusion — a flashing or kick-out detail that was never done properly, causing damage in one predictable spot.
- Color-matched board swaps on a Hardie wall that is otherwise performing.
When repair is throwing money at the problem
- The damage is on every elevation. Hail does not politely hit one wall. If three sides are compromised, patching the fourth is a delay, not a fix.
- The siding is aged vinyl or hardboard at end of life. Matching a discontinued profile and a sun-faded color rarely looks like a repair — it looks like a patch, and it is visible from the street.
- There is an insurance claim in play. If a storm claim covers replacement, spending your own money on repairs first can work against you. Get it documented before you patch.
- The wall assembly underneath has failed. If sheathing or house wrap is compromised, new boards over bad substrate buys you a couple of years at most.
We inspect and tell you which of those you are actually in. If a repair genuinely solves it, that is a smaller job and we will quote it as one. See our Broomfield siding contractors page if you are comparing materials rather than brands.
Hail, Storm Damage and Insurance Claims in Broomfield
Broomfield sits squarely in the Front Range hail corridor, and hail is the most common reason a Broomfield home gets re-clad before the siding reaches the end of its rated life. The damage is frequently not obvious from the driveway.
What hail actually does to siding
- Vinyl cracks and punches, and cold weather makes it far more brittle — a spring storm and a September storm do not do the same damage to the same wall.
- Aluminum dents permanently. It rarely fails structurally, but it never looks right again.
- Hardboard and wood break the paint film, then absorb water at the wound and begin to swell and delaminate from the back.
- Fiber cement can chip at an impact point, but it does not dent, and it does not turn a strike into a moisture-entry path the way a punctured wall does.
Documentation is the whole game
An adjuster is far more likely to approve a scope that is photographed, measured and mapped by elevation than one described in a paragraph. We document damage per elevation, flag the code and matching items that carriers routinely leave out of a first estimate, meet the adjuster on site, and submit supplements where the scope is short. We are not a storm-chasing outfit that appears after a hail event and is gone by spring — we have been at this in Broomfield since 2001.

Broomfield HOA Approval and Permits — the Part That Delays Projects
More Broomfield siding projects get held up by paperwork than by weather or material lead times. Two things make Broomfield specific.
Broomfield is its own city AND county
Broomfield is a consolidated city and county, so your permit and inspections run through the City and County of Broomfield — not Boulder County, not Adams County, not Jefferson County, even though the city touches all of them. Contractors who work the metro broadly sometimes file in the wrong jurisdiction and lose a week. We pull the Broomfield permit and schedule the inspections as part of the job.
Covenant-controlled communities
Much of Broomfield’s housing stock sits in large covenant-controlled communities — Anthem, Broadlands, Wildgrass, McKay Landing, Willow Run and the Interlocken area among them — and most require architectural review before a visible color or material change. That review typically wants specifics: manufacturer, product line, exact color name, trim color, and sometimes a physical sample or a rendering.
We prepare that submittal rather than handing you a brochure and wishing you luck. In practice the sequence that works is: measure and select → submit for architectural review → approval in hand → then order material. Ordering before approval is how a project ends up with the wrong color sitting on a driveway.
Our James Hardie® Installation Process in Broomfield
- On-site measure and assessment — We inspect the existing cladding, trim, flashings and any moisture history, and photograph anything that will matter later to an HOA or an insurer.
- Product, profile and color selection — HardiePlank® lap, board and batten, shingle, or Artisan® profiles, with ColorPlus® or field-finish, chosen against your home and your HOA’s palette.
- Architectural review and permit — We prepare the HOA submittal and pull the City and County of Broomfield permit before material is ordered.
- Tear-off and substrate inspection — The wall gets looked at properly once it is open. Rotten sheathing, failed house wrap and bad window flashing get corrected here, not covered up.
- Installation to Hardie specification — Correct fastening, clearances, joint flashing and a proper water-resistive barrier. Hardie’s warranty assumes its installation instructions were followed; plenty of installs quietly do not.
- Final walk and close-out — Inspection, clean-up, and documentation handed over including your 5-year installation warranty.
