Why Choose Herman Exterior Homes for James Hardie Siding
We Understand Saratoga’s Architecture and Character
Saratoga Springs is unique, featuring a mix of historic Victorian homes, lakeside cottages, and newer luxury builds around Wilton and Gansevoort.
Hardie Board looks incredible on all of them, but it must be chosen and installed with the character of the home in mind to preserve its architectural integrity while upgrading its performance.
We Plan Projects Like Homeowners, Not Salespeople
Most siding companies rush straight to measurements to close a sale. We start by asking what is actually bothering you about your current exterior. Common issues we solve include:
• Peeling or bubbling paint
• Drafty rooms and poor insulation
• Woodpecker and pest damage
• Excessive outside noise
• Warped boards or moisture rot
Whatever the problem is, we want to understand it first so we can solve it the right way. This helps us recommend the right Hardie products and design details instead of handing you a generic package.

Frequently Asked Questions about James Hardie Siding
Is James Hardie siding a good choice for Saratoga Springs weather?
Absolutely. James Hardie products feature climate-specific engineering through their HardieZone® system. We install the HZ5® product line, which is designed specifically for cold, wet climates like Saratoga Springs. Unlike standard siding materials that struggle with our region's extreme temperature swings, James Hardie fiber cement resists moisture damage and won't suffer the rotting, swelling, and warping that wood siding experiences.
How does Hardie Board compare to vinyl siding?
James Hardie fiber cement siding is five times thicker than vinyl, providing substantially greater structural strength and deeper shadow lines for a more authentic wood look.
Durability: Unlike vinyl, which can crack in freezing temperatures or warp under intense summer heat, James Hardie maintains its integrity through all seasons.
Aesthetics: It mimics the look of real wood grain better than plastic-based alternatives.
Does fiber cement siding need a lot of maintenance?
James Hardie siding is engineered for hassle-free ownership. The factory-applied ColorPlus® Technology finish is baked on, ensuring rich, fade-resistant color that lasts for years. While wood needs scraping and painting every few years, Hardie Board simply needs an occasional rinse with a garden hose.
Is Hardie Board fire resistant?
Yes. Fiber cement siding is non-combustible and approved for fire-rated construction. It will not ignite when exposed to a direct flame and contributes zero fuel to a fire, offering superior safety compared to wood or vinyl.
Do you offer Financing for Siding Projects?
Yes! We understand this is a significant investment in your home. Please view our Siding Financing Page for more details on our payment plans.
