Hardie Plank Siding Installation is a great option for homeowners in the Chicago region who want a beautiful home without the hassle of upkeep.
Hardie siding placed by Chicago Siding not only improves the curb appeal and value of your home, but it's also very easy to maintain.
There's a reason Hardie siding appears to be indestructible. It's made from a precisely blended mixture of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, and it's designed to withstand harsh weather, bugs, fading, wood rot, and more.
Why Is Chicago Hardie Siding So Low-Maintenance?
Defends itself from the elements
Hardie siding is designed to withstand hail and wind-blown debris year after year. It is ideal for frigid Chicago winters and hot Illinois summers because it is designed to withstand intense heat and cold.
Hardie siding is constantly ready for the seasonal changes that can also break down a home's exterior, in addition to extreme weather.
Insect-Resistant
It's just a matter of time before carpenter ants, termites, stink bugs, and other pests build a home inside your siding, causing substantial, irreversible damage to your home's exterior.
Termites and other wood-eating insects cause about a billion in property damage each year in the United States, and insurance companies don't cover it. Hardie siding, fortunately, is the only type of siding that repels insects as well as Hardie siding.
Evades Moisture Damage
Water damage can creep up on a home's siding over time, causing cracks, swelling, paint flaking, and, worst of all, mold and rot. Hardie boards are designed to repel water, which prevents moisture ingress.
Unlike wood siding, which is susceptible to mold, mildew, and wood rot, fiber cement siding is resistant to moisture damage, making it the easiest siding to maintain on the market.
Has Long-Lasting ColorPlus Technology
Hardie siding has factory baked-on color that is more durable and uniform than standard painted wood planks or even vinyl siding. Other sidings can fade over time, but Hardie siding is considerably more resistant to the sun's damaging UV rays, so it won't fade.
What Does Hardie Siding Maintenance Actually Require?
Hardie siding comes with a warranty; it is so strong and resistant to the elements. However, it still necessitates some basic maintenance.
This means you just need to remember a few things to care for your low-maintenance Hardie siding and keep it looking great for years.
Visual Inspection
Do a visual inspection and examine your home's siding every six months or so, generally after a strong storm, to ensure there are no spots that need repair or replacement. It only takes a few minutes to do this and ensure that anything that requires attention is dealt with promptly.
Cleaning
It doesn't take much to wash your Hardie siding twice a year. Remove any dirt, grease, and grime with a garden hose, dish soap, and a soft cloth or a medium bristle nylon brush. There's no need to use harsh chemicals, cleansers that aren't designed for siding, or scrub brushes that are abrasive.
Caulking
Check the caulking on the seams of your Hardie siding once or twice a year to ensure it's still in good shape. There aren't likely to be any issues. However, if your caulking fails, simply reapply it and your home will be secured from the outdoors.
