The #1 Brand of Siding in America
When it comes to protecting and beautifying your home's exterior, James Hardie fiber cement siding is in a class of its own. It's the most popular siding brand in the United States — and for good reason. Hardie siding is engineered to resist the specific climate challenges of your region, it won't rot, warp, or crack like wood, it's non-combustible, and it's resistant to termites and other pests that plague traditional siding materials in Central Texas.
At 3 Rivers Roofing, we specialize in James Hardie fiber cement siding installation. As experienced Hardie installers, we follow the manufacturer's specific requirements for our climate zone — HardieZone 10, engineered for hot, humid conditions with periodic freeze events — ensuring your siding performs as designed and is covered by the full manufacturer warranty.
Why James Hardie Fiber Cement?
Fiber cement is a composite material made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, creating a siding product that combines the beauty of natural wood with dramatically superior durability. James Hardie has refined this formula over decades, and their products are specifically engineered for the climate conditions they'll face — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Climate Engineered
HardieZone 10 products are formulated specifically for our hot, humid Central Texas climate. They resist moisture absorption that causes swelling and warping in wood and lower-quality composites.
Fire Resistant
James Hardie siding is non-combustible and carries a Class A fire rating — the highest available. It won't ignite when exposed to direct flame, adding an important layer of safety to your home.
Pest Proof
Termites and carpenter ants can't feed on fiber cement. In Central Texas, where termite pressure is significant, this eliminates one of the most common causes of siding failure and structural damage.
30-Year Warranty
James Hardie backs their siding with a 30-year non-prorated limited warranty on the substrate — one of the strongest warranties in the siding industry.
James Hardie Product Lines
HardiePlank Lap Siding
The most popular siding product in America. HardiePlank offers the classic horizontal lap siding look that suits virtually any architectural style — from traditional to craftsman to contemporary. Available in smooth and woodgrain textures, with a wide range of ColorPlus Technology factory-applied colors. The planks install with a clean, consistent overlap that creates beautiful shadow lines across your home's exterior.
HardieShingle Siding
For homeowners who love the look of cedar shake shingles without the maintenance headaches, HardieShingle delivers that natural, textured appearance with all the durability benefits of fiber cement. It's perfect for accent areas, gable ends, or entire facades where you want a more rustic, coastal, or craftsman aesthetic. Available in both staggered edge and half-round panels.
HardiePanel Vertical Siding
Clean, modern, and versatile — HardiePanel is ideal for contemporary board-and-batten designs, flat panel applications, or anywhere you want a more architectural look. The large panel format means faster installation and fewer seams, and the smooth finish provides a sleek, modern aesthetic that pairs beautifully with metal accents and contemporary architecture.
ColorPlus Technology
One of the biggest advantages of James Hardie siding is their ColorPlus Technology finish. Unlike field-painted siding that's applied by hand in variable outdoor conditions, ColorPlus colors are factory-applied in a controlled environment with multiple coats that are baked on for a consistent, long-lasting finish.
The result is a color that resists fading, chipping, and peeling far longer than traditional paint. James Hardie backs ColorPlus Technology with a 15-year limited warranty against fading, chipping, and peeling — on top of the 30-year substrate warranty. The color selection includes dozens of carefully curated options designed to complement popular architectural styles and regional preferences.
No painting required: ColorPlus Technology eliminates the need to paint your siding after installation — saving you time, money, and the hassle of repainting every few years. The factory-applied finish is engineered to maintain its color and integrity for years longer than field-applied paint.
Siding Repair & Replacement
If your existing siding is damaged, rotting, warped, or simply outdated, we can help. For localized damage, we can often replace individual boards or sections. For a full exterior transformation, we'll remove the old siding, inspect the wall sheathing and moisture barrier, make any necessary repairs, and install a complete James Hardie siding system that will protect and beautify your home for decades.
Trim, Soffit & Fascia
James Hardie also manufactures fiber cement trim, soffit, and fascia boards that complete the look and provide the same durability across every element of your home's exterior. When we install a full Hardie system — siding, trim, and accessories — everything works together as an integrated weather barrier with a cohesive, polished appearance.
Pair With a New Roof
If you're already planning a roof replacement, it's often the ideal time to address your siding as well. Combining both projects saves on labor costs, ensures all your exterior protection is new and properly integrated, and gives your home a complete transformation in one project. We can coordinate both for maximum efficiency and value.
