In Colorado Springs, composite sidingis becoming a very popular material for new homes. When I asked a local contractor why this is the case, he said that cement siding has been singled out for five straight years by RemodelingMagazine as a home improvement project that “pays you back”, so to speak. In their annual report, the magazine provides a list of home remodeling projects that pay back handsome rewards in terms of resale value. Composite cement siding has been singled five times for how much value it returns to the homeowner at the time of sale. James Hardie® Products are the best known brand among makers of fiber cement building materials. One of their products, HardieShingle® siding, is often featured in architectural magazines because of its unique colors and patterns. One Colorado Springs composite siding contractor, Heart House Creations, has noticed a lot more interest in HardieShingle® lately, mainly for its resemblance to cedar shake. It is actually sold in larger panels, or planks, which can be layered vertically or horizontally, but some homeowners prefer to buy it in shakes, or individual shingles. What are the benefits to choosing HardieShingle® as your Colorado Springs composite siding product? HardieShingle® has the same authentic look that homeowners have come to appreciate in cedar shake shingles. However, unlike wood shingles, this Colorado Springs composite siding product will not rot, split or crack. Plus, it easily complements other forms of James Hardie® siding. HardieShingle® will withstand Colorado Springs weather, and maintain its color and durability for much longer than competitive siding products. The company backs this up with a 30 year non-prorated and transferable limited warranty.
