Hardie Board, the most recognized brand of fiber cement siding, is engineered to stand up to the Southeast’s challenging climate. With its strong resistance to moisture, fire, pests, and weather extremes, it’s no surprise that more homeowners across Georgia are choosing it as a smarter, longer-lasting alternative to wood or vinyl.

Why Choose Hardie Board Siding?

Hardie Board is known for its unmatched performance and striking curb appeal. Made from a combination of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, this siding is built to mimic the look of real wood while offering a level of strength and durability that wood simply can’t match. It resists rotting, cracking, and warping—even during hot, humid Georgia summers or stormy weather. Compared to traditional wood, Hardie siding doesn’t need frequent staining or sealing. And while vinyl may be cheaper up front, fiber cement offers significantly longer lifespan and better fire resistance, making it a sound investment over time. With baked-on technology, James Hardie siding also holds its color much longer than typical painted surfaces. This siding is available in a wide range of textures and profiles—lap siding, board and batten, shingle-style, and more—giving homeowners the flexibility to match any architectural style, from classic Craftsman homes to contemporary builds.

Maintaining Hardie Board Siding

One of the biggest benefits of Hardie Board siding is its low maintenance needs. Unlike wood, it doesn't require frequent painting, and unlike vinyl, it doesn't warp or become brittle with age. Most homeowners only need to rinse it down once or twice a year to remove dust and pollen—perfect for the Atlanta climate.

Hardie’s finishes are specifically designed to resist UV fading, so your siding maintains its vibrant color for years. Occasional caulking at joints or corners may be needed to maintain watertight seals, but otherwise, fiber cement offers some of the lowest maintenance requirements of any siding product on the market.

When Do I Need to Replace Fiber Cement Siding?

Hardie Board siding is built to last up to 50 years or more with proper installation and care, but there are still a few signs that might indicate it's time for replacement. If your siding was installed decades ago without proper sealing or flashing, you may see swelling, delamination, or soft spots—especially near the base of walls or around windows.

Our team at Sandy Springs Siding will assess whether repairs are sufficient or if a full replacement will better protect your home in the long run. We offer honest evaluations and practical solutions designed to give you peace of mind and long-term value.

Our Hardie Board Installation Process

Installing fiber cement siding requires specialized knowledge and precision, and our trained professionals ensure every panel is installed to manufacturer specifications. We start with a detailed consultation, taking into account your home’s style, color preferences, and environmental needs.

After removing any existing siding and inspecting the structure underneath, we apply a high-performance weather barrier to guard against moisture. From there, we begin installing each board with exacting attention to spacing, flashing, and fastening. Because fiber cement is heavier than other materials, proper handling and support are crucial throughout the installation.

Once the siding is in place, we finish the job with trim, caulking, and any touch-ups needed to complete the look. Cleanup is always included, and we walk through the finished project with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied.
