We are an independent firm and are not affiliated with James Hardie. We compare siding materials such as fiber cement, wood, brick and stone for each project and help you balance appearance, maintenance and cost. When you select a product, we detail the wall assembly with proper water barriers and flashing, set trim and corner details and prepare drawings the installer can follow.
