The Importance of Siding Warranties
Siding serves as your home’s first line of defense against the elements. A robust warranty not only reflects the manufacturer’s confidence in their product but also safeguards your investment against potential defects or issues that may arise over time.
James Hardie’s Comprehensive Warranty
As a James Hardie Elite Contractor, we specialize in installing James Hardie siding products, renowned for their durability and aesthetic appeal. One of the standout features of James Hardie siding is its straightforward, one-page warranty, free from convoluted fine print. Here’s what you can expect:
30-Year Non-Prorated Warranty
- Duration: Covers a full 30 years without depreciation.
- Coverage: Protects against manufacturing defects, ensuring your siding maintains its integrity and appearance.
Transferability
- One-Time Transfer: If you decide to sell your home within the warranty period, the remaining warranty can be transferred to the new owner, potentially enhancing your property’s market value.
Trim and ColorPlus Technology Warranties
- Trim Products: Also covered under the 30-year warranty, ensuring all aspects of your siding are protected.
- ColorPlus Technology: Features a 15-year warranty against excessive fading, blistering, chipping, cracking, or peeling, keeping your home looking vibrant and fresh.
The Role of Proper Installation
