Cement Fiberboard Siding Painting

Hardie & Fiber Cement Siding Painting

CertaPro Painters® offers a variety of siding painting services, including Hardie Board and Fiber Cement. Hardie Plank siding is a fiber cement alternative, but both we offer painting for both sidings, since they are very similar in that they are both composite material. This composite material is intended to last through weather conditions and extreme temperatures and is known for it’s long-lasting durability. The siding also mimics the appearance of wood and often looks great a finished look for newer houses. If you’re considering painting hardie plank or fiber cement siding, it’s better to paint soon after installation and it’s a good idea to hire a professional painter to help accomplish that goal.

The reason why it’s better to paint this type of siding before installation is because, if left untreated, siding starts to deteriorate. Applying a primer and a fresh coat of paint helps strengthen the siding, while protecting it from penetrable elements like water and debris. However, if your siding is not brand new, a thorough power wash before painting is the best first step. Our painting offers power wash, prep, and paint services to prepare your cement fiberboard siding for a new look.

What is Cement Fiberboard Siding?

Fiber cement is a composite material, made of cement, sand, water and cellulose fibers. Fiber cement siding is a durable, long-lasting, and low-maintenance material that’s been around for over 100 years. It is a semi-rigid material that provides substantial protection, while still maintaining its flexible properties. Increasing in popularity, fiber cement costs less than brick, synesthetic stucco, and even some wood siding. Although more expensive than vinyl, fiber cement remains more popular due to its aforementioned unique attributes.

What is Hardie Board?

Hardie Board or Hardie Plank is kind of fiber cement board siding invented by James Hardie. His company made industrial material and pioneered the development of a fiber-cement technology in the mid-1980s. Hardie’s company intended to create an exterior product that could endure extreme climates while retaining the beauty of wood siding. Its no wonder hardie plank is so popular!
