Every detail of your custom home matters, including the siding you pick for your home’s exterior. Picking the right style shouldn’t mean compromising on quality, nor the other way around.
That’s why at Schumacher Homes, we’re proud to offer fiber cement siding from James Hardie Building Products as an exceptional option for your home’s exterior. Its combination of durability, design, and value makes James Hardie siding one of the best choices on the market. Here’s why.
James Hardie siding protects your investment in a custom home
Fiber cement siding is one of the longest-lasting and lowest-maintenance materials available. It has the looks to match, too (more on that in a moment). James Hardie siding consistently ranks as builders’ and homeowners’ favorite. That's earned it the affectionate nickname of “Hardie board.”
James Hardie® fiber cement siding is made of Portland cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. The company invented modern fiber cement over 30 years ago and it’s America’s most popular brand of siding. It’s not only durable, but widely considered the most sustainable. In fact, the Green Builder® Media annual Readers’ Choice survey named James Hardie as the “Greenest Siding Brand” of 2020.
That eco-friendly composition helps protect the planet while it protects your home. James Hardie fiber cement siding is:
Even better, James Hardie siding looks as good as it performs.
James Hardie siding works with every style of home
Do you dream of a Modern Farmhouse home finished with board and batten siding? Or how about a Craftsman-style home accented with rustic shake siding? James Hardie offers a wide range of styles to help you choose the right siding for your home, including: HardiePlank® lap siding, HardiePanel® vertical siding, and HardieShingle® siding.
Each of these siding products presents further options to give your custom house plan the look you want. It starts with texture, from smooth modern finishes to rough sawn patterns that mimic the look of real wood.
From there, you get to choose from an array of colors. Homeowners who build in the country, for instance, prize Timber Bark. Its deep gray-brown character complements natural landscapes well. Evening Blue, by contrast, has the versatility to work well in the country, suburbs, and city.
No matter what color you pick, it comes prefinished with ColorPlus® Technology to resist damage such as fading and chipping. One more reason we like James Hardie siding: You don’t have to pick a color. Opt for primed instead, and then paint your home the exact color you want.
James Hardie backs its siding with one of the best warranties in the industry
At Schumacher Homes, we believe everyone deserves a custom home. We also recognize that a custom home is one of the biggest investments many people will ever make. An investment like that deserves peace of mind so you can enjoy it for years to come.
