What is a James Hardie Preferred Contractor?

A James Hardie Preferred Contractor is a highly trained professional who consistently delivers top-notch installation of James Hardie siding products. James Hardie understands that even the best siding is only as effective as the contractor who installs it, which is why they created the James Hardie Contractor Alliance Program.

This program connects homeowners with certified contractors who are trained by James Hardie to ensure the highest standards in installation, quality, and customer satisfaction like Smardbuild. With a James Hardie siding contractor, you can trust that your home is in expert hands for long-lasting performance.

Licensed and Bonded

Every James Hardie Preferred Contractor is fully licensed and bonded, meaning they are committed to meeting all regulations and industry standards.

In Illinois, this ensures that the contractor will perform their work ethically and to the highest standards. This protection gives you peace of mind, knowing your project is in trusted, reliable hands, and safeguards against any potential issues during the installation process.

Fully Insured

A James Hardie Preferred Contractor is required to carry liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and has workman’s compensation insurance.

This level of coverage ensures that any accidents or damages that may occur during your project are fully covered, protecting both you and the workers involved. By working with an insured contractor, you can rest easy knowing your home and investment are safeguarded throughout the installation process.

Guild Quality Requirements

James Hardie Preferred Contractors are held to the highest standards to ensure exceptional quality and customer satisfaction. Here are the key requirements every contractor must meet to maintain their preferred status:

Regular Installation Audits: Contractors undergo random audits to ensure compliance with James Hardie’s installation best practices.
Satisfactory BBB Record: They must have a positive track record with the Better Business Bureau or similar accredited agencies.
Professional Sales Approach: Contractors are expected to use a professional, customer-focused approach throughout the sales process.
Satisfactory Credit Report: A solid financial background is required to maintain reliability and trust.
Third-Party Customer Feedback: After each installation, customer feedback is gathered by a third-party survey service to assess contractor performance and customer satisfaction.

Employee Background Checks

As part of the James Hardie Preferred Contractor program, contractors are required to perform background checks on their employees. This ensures that the individuals working on your home are trustworthy and qualified.

Background checks provide an extra layer of security and peace of mind, so you can feel confident knowing that only reliable and vetted professionals will be handling your project. Your home’s safety and security are always a top priority.
