HardiePlank® Lap Siding
Free Estimate
HardiePlank® lap siding is available in a texture and look that is just like wood. Or you can choose a finish that is similar to stucco, or a smooth finish. Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy several distinct benefits when you select HardiePlank® for home siding in Minneapolis:
- Longer life, exceeding wood, shingle, stucco or vinyl siding. The fiber cement composition of HardiePlank® stands up to virtually any weather and remains intact and protecting your home. It won’t contract and expand like other siding materials.
- Superior protection. HardiePlank® lap siding is up to five times thicker than vinyl, so it stands up to snow, ice and hail, and is rated for winds of up to 150 mph.
- Resistance to fire and pests. Fiber cement resists fire much better than vinyl or wood, and is immune to insects and rot.
- Exceptional beauty. The built-in pattern of a HardiePlank® board looks just like wood, but will not fade or split.
- Less maintenance. Unlike wood, shingle or stucco siding, HardiePlank® requires very little care to retain its beauty. You can easily clean it with a garden hose.
- Paint less often. HardiePlank® lap siding does not need to be repainted every few years like wood. Fiber cement holds its color up to three times longer without fading, chipping or cracking.
- But you can change colors! Vinyl siding does not need to be painted, but you can never change vinyl’s color. If you wish to give your home a new look in the future, you can paint your HardiePlank® siding any shade you choose.
- Sustainable materials. Fiber cement is composed of cement, cellulose fibers and sand. So no endangered trees are sacrificed to make up this strong, durable material.
- 30-year warranty. No other siding material can approach the 30-year warranty you’ll get from James Hardie when you choose a factory-approved Minneapolis siding contractor like Krech Exteriors to install your siding.
