Bellwether is proud to be an Elite Preferred James Hardie contractor because we believe in the quality and the benefits
While Bellwether has expertise in all areas of Colorado home construction and exterior remodels, including window replacement, insulation, and gutters, our team has a special knowledge of exterior design and home siding. Considering the climate and environmental concerns, our experts recommend fiber cement siding for Colorado homes. And as an Elite Preferred James Hardie contractor, we believe this is the best product on the market to keep Colorado homes beautiful, dry, and comfortable.
Fiber cement is a combination of cement, cellulose fibers, water, and silica. These materials are mixed, dyed, and pressed into boards in different styles and textures. This combination of materials makes fiber cement extremely sturdy and long lasting.
The reasons Bellwether recommends James Hardie fiber cement siding products for Colorado homes because they are durable, resilient, versatile, and, when using our product offerings, is available in a large variety of colors, all with a long-term warranty.
Overall, fiber cement siding products are the most resilient and protect against natural elements, including wildfire. For Colorado homeowners, and especially for those who own mountain homes, wildfire is a very real, seasonal concern. Because James Hardie guarantees the high-quality of their products, you can rest assured that you get what you pay for—and when defending against fire, that is great peace of mind. Because James Hardie fiber cement siding is so resilient, it also adds an extra layer of defense to your home to withstand hail, extreme temperatures, moisture exposure, and the hot Colorado sun.
These are all important things to consider when choosing siding for your home exterior, and you want to know that your decision has lasting impact on the beauty and function of your home. While James Hardie fiber cement siding is not the cheapest product on the market, its lifespan proves the value of the investment over time. Not only does James Hardie fiber cement siding safeguard your home from natural elements, it stands the test of time. The protective appeal of fiber cement siding will last for many years—and it will remain beautiful even after this long-term exposure.
What’s more, no extra maintenance is required to achieve this longevity. James Hardie fiber cement siding remains as rich in color as the day it is installed with little more than an occasional power washing. After a professional installation, you can admire the vibrant beauty of your home’s design without concern for replacement or additional care.
As an Elite Preferred James Hardie contractor, our experts can recommend the functionality of the fiber cement siding products—and our home design teams recommend the products for the broad variety of style and color options! Virtually any color can be infused into your James Hardie fiber cement siding. Or choose from existing options such as Arctic White, Cobble Stone, Timber Bark, Pearl Gray, Evening Blue, or Mountain Sage. James Hardie offers two color collections, the Statement Collection and the Dream Collection, and both feature the James Hardie ColorPlus® technology. This technology utilizes a factory-controlled color application that is cured between coats, meaning the color will never crack, peel, or chip. Because James Hardie fiber cement siding products are offered with a 30-year product and 15-year finish warranty, so you can be certain that your investment will yield the long-lasting and beautiful protection that comes with choosing fiber cement siding.
