If you’ve ever asked a contractor about the best material to use on outside of your home in Colorado Springs, HardieBoard® was probably included in their recommendation.  Until they learn about the benefits of Hardie Board, most people don’t realize how different this material is from basic vinyl siding.

In Colorado Springs, HardieBoard® products are available from Heart House Creations, a siding and window contractor that has been serving the Colorado Front Range region since 1989.  While Heart House also installs vinyl siding, their James Hardie Siding products are often recommended for homes in higher elevations.

Instead of asking for two separate contractors to provide an estimate, it makes sense to do some research ahead of time about the various types of siding available for your home. 

Here is a brief overview differences between of the Colorado Springs HardieBoard® products and vinyl siding, both offered by Heart House Creations:

• Because of its fire resistance, most homeowners qualify for an insurance discount when using James Hardie Siding.
• While vinyl siding is less expensive, it can expand, contract, sag or change colors over time.  One key benefit of vinyl is it never needs to be repainted
• HardieBoard® products will need to be painted intermittently but it stands up better to wet and cold climates than vinyl. Because James Hardie uses ColorPlus® technology in the manufacturing process, it is also more fade-resistant. 
• Fiber cement products like HardieBoard® also resist chipping, peeling and cracking
• Their HardiePlank® Lap Siding comes with a 30 year limited warranty that is transferable from one homeowner to the next and all James Hardie Siding products come with a 15 year finish warranty. 

Colorado Springs Hardie Board products are available from Heart House Creations.
