We take pride in installing James Hardie siding. Our contractors have over 15 years of experience installing HardiePlank and HardieTrim.

Why James Hardie Products?

There are many reasons we recommend James Hardie products to our Chicagoland friends and neighbors. As long-time contractors and Chicago residents, we know how different siding products perform in our harsh Midwestern climate. We know you want a beautiful home exterior that stands up against the elements because as homeowners, that’s what we want ourselves. Time and again, James Hardie’s phenomenal fiber cement siding and trim have proven themselves to be the best products on the market for Chicago residents.

Superior Durability

When you live off the Great Lakes, you need a siding material and trim that can endure blizzards, rain, and wind. James Hardie’s special fiber cement mixed products were specifically engineered to stand up to tough weather conditions. After studying the long-term effects of different climates, James Hardie’s engineers created siding that performs specifically in wet, freezing conditions, like those of our area of the country.

The Hardie team have tested their products to withstand worst-case scenarios, such as catastrophic blizzards, hurricanes, and more.

Unbeatable Style

Whether you’ve got a historic home whose era you want to honor or a newer home you want to customize to your taste and specifications, James Hardie siding and trim is where it’s at.

James Hardie’s fiber cement siding perfectly mimics the look and feel of classic siding without the durability issues. Plus, with lasting colors that come in classic neutrals, tasteful earth tones, and beautiful blues, you’re sure to find a shade you’ll love on your home for years to come.

How We Install James Hardie

One of the greatest benefits of working with Smardbuild when you choose James Hardie is our status as part of the James Hardie Contractor Alliance Program. We’ve invested in specific training with the James Hardie team. Our installers know how to install HardiePlank and HardieTrim with stringent safety measures and best practices to guarantee a smooth installation process.

First, we ensure the safety and security of the products we’re going to install in your home. That means sheltering them from the wind and rain, so they don’t see a speck of moisture that might permeate your exterior. Then, our team will handle your James Hardie products with the utmost care and to safety specifications, to ensure our safety and avoid any damage to your siding and home during the installation process.

Next, we’ll use blades and shears recommended by the James Hardie team to cut your siding, guaranteeing siding cuts that are optimal to the look of your home, and to OSHA’s safety specifications. We’ll also clean up debris with enormous care, so you, the people you love, and our team can navigate your home with ease.

Finally, we’ll install your siding and trim with a recommended pneumatic nail and pin guns that we know get the job done perfectly over and over again.
