Why James Hardie Leads the Industry
Engineered for Florida. James Hardie's HZ5 (Humid Zone 5) formulation is specifically designed for high-humidity environments. It resists moisture damage better than standard fiber cement, making it ideal for Florida's climate.
ColorPlus Technology means factory-applied finish that's baked on in multiple coats under controlled conditions. The result is a finish that resists fading, cracking, and peeling far longer than field-applied paint - with a 15-year warranty.
Brand recognition and warranty support matter. James Hardie is a publicly-traded company with decades of history and the resources to stand behind their products. Their warranties are among the best in the industry.

What Our Customers Say
"I had a small job to fix fascia board along the roof line in several places. Pro Specialty rep came out when he said and gave me a reasonable estimate. He was professional and courteous. He came out to do the job even though we were in a heat advisory status. He took the time and effort to do the job as I requested and answered all my questions. From my perspective, money well spent."

Common Questions
James Hardie invests heavily in R&D and offers zone-specific formulations. Their HZ5 for humid climates, ColorPlus factory finish, and industry-leading warranties set them apart from generic fiber cement.
For most homeowners, yes. The factory finish is more durable than field paint, comes with a 15-year warranty, and saves the cost and hassle of initial painting. The finish quality is also superior to field application.
James Hardie siding can last 50+ years. Their 30-year substrate warranty is one of the best in the industry. With periodic repainting (or ColorPlus finish), the siding will outlast most homes.
Primed Hardie needs painting during or shortly after installation. ColorPlus comes factory-finished and doesn't need painting for 15+ years. Both options perform excellently.
Generally no - fiber cement should be installed over sheathing with proper housewrap. Weight and fastening requirements typically require removing existing siding.
Annual inspection, occasional rinsing, and caulk maintenance. ColorPlus finish is very low maintenance. Primed-and-painted Hardie will need repainting every 10-15 years.
