James Hardie Siding: Premium Fiber Cement Siding

James Hardie is one of the most trusted names in fiber cement siding and for good reason. Known for its strength, long-lasting performance, and wide range of design options, siding by James Hardie is built to protect your home while keeping it looking great. It also stands up to the elements without compromising style or long-term value.

At Freedom Exteriors, we recommend and install James Hardie siding because we’ve seen how well it performs in North Alabama’s demanding climate. It’s a reliable, high-quality option backed by an industry-leading warranty. This gives homeowners like you confidence that your investment is built to last.

Why James Hardie Is a Trusted Name in Siding

Made from a combination of cellulose fibers, sand and cement, James Hardie siding stands strong against moisture, temperature changes, pests, and fire exposure. However, what truly sets it apart from other fiber cement products is how intentionally the siding is engineered. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, James Hardie designs its products with specific regional climates in mind.

For local homeowners, this means siding products made to perform in local North Alabama conditions, whether it’s humidity, heavy rain, strong winds, or extreme heat. This climate-specific engineering helps James Hardie siding maintain its strength, appearance, and performance year after year.

With James Hardie siding, homeowners also enjoy:

Proven durability backed by decades of product testing
Resistance to rot, warping, cracking, and insect damage
A clean, consistent appearance that holds up year after year with minimal maintenance
A manufacturer with a long-standing reputation and nationwide trust

Performance Benefits That Matter to Homeowners

James Hardie siding is designed to address the real-world concerns homeowners have, like durability, maintenance, appearance, and long-term protection. These benefits work together to create a siding system that delivers:

Exceptional Durability

North Alabama homes face heavy rain, high humidity, intense summer heat, and seasonal temperature changes. James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered to resist moisture absorption and withstand weather-related stress, helping protect your home’s exterior from long-term damage.

A Low Maintenance Design

Unlike wood siding, James Hardie does not require frequent scraping, staining, or repainting. Its durable surface resists cracking and swelling, allowing homeowners to spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying their home.

Long-Lasting Color with ColorPlus® Technology

James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology delivers a factory-applied finish that is baked on for consistent coverage and superior adhesion. This process provides richer color, improved fade resistance, and a longer-lasting finish compared to field-painted siding.

Industry-Leading Warranty Protection

James Hardie backs its products with one of the strongest warranties available. Homeowners receive limited warranties covering both the siding material and the ColorPlus® finish. This level of coverage provides peace of mind, knowing the investment is protected for years to come.

Long-Term Value

Because James Hardie siding is engineered for longevity, it offers strong return on investment. As a result, homeowners benefit from improved durability, enhanced curb appeal, and reduced maintenance costs over time.

Freedom Exteriors and their team exceeded all of our expectations for our siding and window project. We really appreciated the showroom where we were able to see designs and products in person. The install team were excellent. They were efficient, clean and professional. They had our project done in less than the expected time and they worked with us to make sure all the small details were taken care of. We would 100% recommend Freedom Exteriors to anyone looking for siding or window replacement.

Andrew K.

Very pleased with the work they did for us. Very professional management and crew. Top quality work. Great accessibility when we had questions. This was a very large job (50+ windows), a combination of renovation and new construction. A variety of windows (arched, picture windows, casements, double-hung). We can't say enough about Jordan, Jose and their crew. They are outstanding.

Bill D.

I am so glad I chose Freedom Exteriors & Construction to replace the rotten wavy siding on my home with James Hardie siding and trim!! Jordan and his team were patient, professional, respectful and responsive. I have definitely increased the value of my property with a quality product and it looks amazing! I will recommend them to all my friends and family!

Marjorie C.

From our initial contact with Jordan until the job was complete Freedom Exteriors conducted themselves in a professional manner and did excellent work. We had daily contact with Jordan, Jordan, and/or our site supervisor Jose. All questions and concerns were handled promptly and with courtesy. The large crew was always on-time, did a fantastic job, and left the site clean each day. Thank you for the awesome job - our home is beautiful!

Carol P.

We highly recommend Freedom Exteriors from the highest quality of work to the most reliable and honest people to work with, which is hard to find these days. We had all the windows replaced with Andersen windows and we used the James Hardie ColorPlus pre-painted siding, along with metal roofing installed. We were more than pleased. The results were better than we ever expected!

Suzette B.

Freedom Exteriors stands out as an exceptional company that has gone above and beyond to meet and even surpass my expectations for window and siding installation.
