At Bellwether, we begin customer relationships with an open and honest evaluative and proposal process. We want you to ask us questions so that we are on the same page about your siding replacement project, from the siding products used to workmanship and timelines to financing and budget needs.

We have a list of red flags to watch out for, and we also can suggest these questions for interviewing other contractors in an effort to make the best choice for your family’s investment in home exterior renovation.
Ask your Denver siding company about product and workmanship warranties.
The promise backing a product or service tells you a lot about a siding company’s belief in what they deliver. At Bellwether, we offer some of the most competitive, generous warranties available in the industry today, thanks to our choice in high-quality siding products, such as James Hardie fiber cement, and our own workmanship guarantee.
As an Elite Preferred James Hardie contractor, Bellwether adheres to the industry’s highest installation standards. This is required by brands like James Hardie to install their products, but we are so passionate about our craftsmanship that we double-down on the promise. We guarantee our workmanship with a double-lifetime warranty, which is transferable to one future owner if you sell your home before the warranty runs out.
On top of that, James Hardie offers lifetime warranties on their products—30-year non-pro-rated warranties on their fiber cement siding and 15-year non-pro-rated warranties on their trim products and all of their Color Plus Technology products.
