A home remodel is an important decision. It will not only improve the look of your space but also add value to it. One great material to consider for your Austin home remodel is James Hardie® siding. More homes are now being built with James Hardie siding due to its advantages. We discuss four of them here.

1. It’s Durable

James Hardie siding is designed with fiber cement material, making it three times thicker than vinyl siding and extremely durable. Choosing James Hardie material from reputable siding and roof replacement companies puts you at ease, knowing your home will be able to withstand extreme weather conditions and the test of time. It’s built tough to last for years to come.

2. It Boosts Curb Appeal

When considering siding and roof replacement, it’s important to look at what will make your home stand out. James Hardie siding gives the exterior of your home a modern update, boosting its curb appeal. It’s available in many colors and textures, allowing your home to stand out. Whether you prefer a simple or modern look, James Hardie siding is easy to customize to create just the right style for your Texas home.

3. It’s Low Maintenance

Any material that does not require much maintenance is a plus. While wood needs much more maintenance than usual, James Hardie does not. It is highly resistant to rot and other elements, so you don’t have to worry about frequent repairs or replacing your siding soon after installation. Siding and asphalt roofing contractors recommend James Hardie siding because it’s designed to keep up with the hot Texas climate and its everyday wear and tear without needing frequent attention.

4. It Comes in a Variety of Styles

James Hardie siding can be cut into various shapes and sizes to create interesting architectural styles. You can customize your space with decorative accents like board-and-batten, scallops or other intricate designs. The different textures available for James Hardie siding are also a great way to add visual interest to your Austin home’s exterior in an effortless way.If you’re planning to install James Hardie siding, let Austin Pro Siding, Windows & Roofing help.

The 'Woodpecker Tax': Why West Austin Homeowners Are Switching to James Hardie Siding

West Austin's tree canopy and humidity make wood siding a costly liability — woodpeckers, carpenter bees, and hidden rot can quietly turn a $200 patch into a $12,000 repair. James Hardie fiber cement siding eliminates pest vulnerability and moisture damage at the source, with long-term costs that routinely beat the annual patch-and-paint cycle. If you're tired of paying the Woodpecker Tax, here's exactly what switching looks like and what it's worth.
