3 Key Benefits Of James Hardie Siding
James Hardie siding is a game-changer when it comes to protecting your home and improving its curb appeal. James Hardie’s siding is built to withstand the harsh Pacific Northwest climate, offers numerous customization options, and is backed with an unbeatable warranty.

Stands Up Against The Pacific Northwest’s Tough Climate
Let’s face it – the Pacific Northwest isn’t the kindest climate, and it can take a toll on your home’s exterior. Your siding must withstand high humidity, constant rain, and fluctuating temperatures. That’s why we use Hardie siding. It’s:
- Waterproof to keep heavy rainfall, snow, and moisture out
- Warp-resistant and able to withstand fluctuating temperatures
- Heat-resistant to avoid early damage from heat exposure (i.e., outdoor grills)
In our opinion, Hardie siding is the BEST option for Portland Metro and Southwest Washington homeowners. It’s durable, weather-resistant, and our #1 recommendation. No matter the system you choose, it’ll look great and last – for decades.

Tons Of Color And Style Options For A Customized Look
Did you know that James Hardie has 700+ color options?! That’s right. 700. Before James Hardie, we didn’t know that many colors even existed. More than that, they offer 20+ style solutions for you to choose from, including:
- HardiePanel® Vertical Siding options such as Board and Batten, Cedarmill, Sierra 8, and Smooth
- HardiePlank® Lap Siding that’s available in multiple reveal sizes to accommodate different looks and styles of homes
- HardieShingle® Siding options such as staggered edge panels, straight-edge panels, and half-rounds
In total, there are more than 14,000 style and color combinations. Check out our James Hardie Product Catalog to explore some of your options. We’ll also bring samples and help you choose the perfect solution for your home and design preferences.

Hardie Siding Comes With A Non-Prorated 30-Year Warranty
Most companies offer a prorated warranty – the value decreases by 2% or so every year. By the time you need to use your warranty, it may not be worth all that much. With James Hardie, it’s different – the warranty is non-prorated for 30 whole years. When we install your Hardie siding, you get:
- Full coverage for repairs or replacements
- A warranty that is valid for ALL James Hardie siding systems
- A LIFETIME labor warranty, no matter the system you choose
We can offer James Hardie’s most superior warranty because of our “Elite” status with them. They trust us to install your siding right the FIRST time.
What Our Southwest Washington & Portland Metro Area
James Hardie Siding Customers Have To Say
Transformed my tired old house
Superior Exterior transformed my 1996'ish, tired old house into a home we can fall in love with all over again! Brand new Hardi siding to refresh last-century "engineered" T1-11. Dry rot repairs repaired beyond industry standards. Removal of a 23 year-old deck. Installation of new Milgard windows including a beautiful bay window in the second-floor master bedroom. We feel at home again and it was Superior Exterior's acute attention to details (Thanks Mark & Brothers!) that made this a most successful project and a true transformation. As a retired construction project manager I know that every job can present challenges and sometimes things do not go as planned. In the middle of this job there was a significant rain/windstorm coming in so it was decided to pause the job for a day for safety of the crew. That evening (8:30pm) a major rain squall came through with massive rain and winds causing the rain to penetrate the protective plastic resulting in a slight leak in one of the windows. A call to Ricky at Superior Exterior and the crew was at my house within 30-minutes and the problem was resolved! The company owner (Thanks Chad!) also called to verify that things were taken care of. Can you still even get a pizza in 30 minutes anymore these days? From the bidding process (thanks Ricky and Alanna!) to job completion and final walkthrough, Superior Exterior understands that a successful job goes much further than the completion date. It's for the lifetime of your home.
They cleaned up there mess and I was very happy
I needed my roof replaced so I called 4 companies to get bids. 2 didn't even show up. Superior came in about $1500 less than the other company. Job was completed in the time frame the told me. Super nice crew. They cleaned up there mess and I was very happy with there work.
Chad and his crews were very professional and responsive
Our house was a two-story, 70's-built box with dented and peeling aluminium siding, single pane aluminum windows, original doors, original paint, and a deck that had been added by a previous owner that was not tied into structure. We were worred about water infiltration as well as rising electrical costs, so we decided to refinance and pull cash to consolidate debt and get the exterior of the house in shape. We had three companies bid on the project to: * Replace Siding with Hardie product * Replace all windows * Replace an upper floor sliding doors * Replace two patio sliding doors with french doors * Replace the front door * Replace the garage man door * Paint exterior siding and trim * Replace the deck Chad Peterson's bid, as owner of Superior Exterior Systems, was accepted based on first impressions, professional knowledge, statements by references, the detailed estimate, and cost. While we dreaded what the demolition might reveal, everything went smoothly and the issues that were uncovered were quickly and professional resolved. Mark, who ran the siding/window/door crew, kept us informed, answered our many questions, and did an outstanding job on the installation. There were delays due to supplier issues related to Covid-19 that were driving everyone crazy, but Chad worked with them to get our project completed as quickly as possible. The paint crew was quick and thorough. The result is great. The 12'x12' deck Chad and Tyson built for us will likely double as a shelter during a nuclear attack. Given the amount of work that was done, the price was reasonable. Michelle, Chad's wife and business partner, kept us informed all along the way. Chad and his crews were very professional and responsive to our needs. We highly recommend Superior Exterior Systems.

How Does ColorPlus Technology Compare To Traditional Paint?
ColorPlus paint is “baked on.” That means they cure the paint to the James Hardie fiber cement for a strong bond. Essentially, the paint becomes one with the siding rather than simply adding an extra layer to it.
So, when it’s exposed to the tough Pacific Northwest weather, it doesn’t crack, chip, or peel. It LASTS.
How Much Does James Hardie Siding Cost?
Of course, the exact price of your project depends on the size of your home. However, on average, we’re not the cheapest or the most expensive James Hardie siding contractor. Instead, we aim for the best overall value, ensuring a nice balance between quality and affordability.
