HARDIE® PLANK LAP SIDING INSTALLATION
AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR FIBER CEMENT SIDING
If you picture James Hardie siding, you’re most likely picturing Hardie® Plank. This classic horizontal lap profile is James Hardie’s best-selling product and the most popular brand of siding in America—and for good reason. It suits nearly every architectural style, from colonials and cape cods to ranches and craftsman bungalows, and it delivers the look of painted wood clapboard without the scraping, repainting, and rot that come with the real thing.
PJ Fitzpatrick installs Hardie® Plank lap siding across our entire service area. Each board is 5/16 inch thick fiber cement in 12-foot lengths, available in a range of widths that produce different reveals on the wall—so we can match the proportions of your home rather than forcing one look onto every project. Call 1-877-246-4354 today for a Hardie® Plank lap siding estimate.

Choose Your Texture: Select Cedarmill® or Smooth
Hardie® Plank comes in two textures, and the one you pick sets the character of your whole exterior.
Select Cedarmill® carries a deep, grooved woodgrain that reads convincingly as natural cedar from the curb. It’s the more traditional of the two and tends to suit colonials, farmhouses, craftsman homes, and anywhere a warmer, more textured look belongs. It’s also the texture most homeowners choose when they’re replacing real wood siding and want to keep the same feel with none of the upkeep.
Smooth is exactly what it sounds like—a flat, even surface with no grain. The result is cleaner and more contemporary, and it works especially well on modern builds, coastal homes, cape cods, and ranches where simplicity is the point. Smooth also pairs nicely with darker Statement Collection® colors, where woodgrain texture can compete with the color itself.
Not sure which direction to go? We’ll bring samples to your estimate so you can see both textures against your home, your roof, and your trim before you commit.
Statement Collection® Colors with ColorPlus® Technology
We install Hardie® Plank in the Statement Collection®—a curated palette of classic shades chosen by design experts to work across a wide range of architectural styles. Every color is applied with ColorPlus® Technology, meaning the finish is sprayed and oven-baked in a controlled factory setting and cured between coats rather than rolled on at your house in whatever weather happens to show up that week.
The practical difference is longevity. A baked-on finish bonds far more tightly than field-applied paint, so it stands up to UV exposure and resists fading, chipping, and cracking for years. That translates to a low-maintenance exterior: an annual rinse with a garden hose and a soft brush is usually all your siding asks of you. Prefer a custom color? Hardie® Plank is also available primed for paint. See the full Statement Collection® palette.
Engineered for Our Climate
James Hardie formulates its fiber cement products for specific regional conditions through its Engineered for Climate® approach, so the Hardie® Plank we install on your home is designed for the weather it will actually face here—freeze-thaw cycles, wind-driven rain, snow, and humid summers. Combined with a properly installed weather barrier and correct flashing, it gives your walls a complete, durable exterior system.
