Why More Minnesotans are Choosing James Hardie Siding

Homeowners in the Twin Cities are no strangers to changing weather. We saw that this summer – there were huge hail storms in Burnsville, Lakeville, Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, Blaine, and more areas. These storms can severely damage your home’s roofing and siding. To protect your home from future storms, you need to choose the right materials. 

For homeowners looking for a design upgrade while also protecting their home against the elements, James Hardie is hitting the mark for leading design while providing maximum protection for the home against the elements.

James Hardie Siding: Superior Design

James Hardie’s award-winning designers have curated a perfect selection of color swatches best suited for your home’s exterior. Working with your designer means choosing the perfect color to fit your home, with the trim to make it shine. 

We’re seeing more and more beautifully designed James Hardie homes in neighborhoods near Minneapolis, and the superior design elements are attracting more homeowners.

Some of the attractive designs of James Hardie siding include: 

• Arctic White: Perfect for making a statement with a classic color. Pair with white trim or a bold color trim for an extra pop. 

• Navajo Beige: Bring the beauty of the desert to your home with Navajo beige trim. Pair with a trim of natural colors for an earthy aesthetic. 

• Straight Edge Shingle Siding: Looking for something a little different? Consider Straight Edge shingle siding, which creates dimension and style. Dress your home up in a classic-meets-modern design.  

Siding That’s Ready for Any Minnesota Weather

James Hardie® siding and trim are Engineered for Climate®, with performance attributes that account for the harsh winters and steady summer storms in our area. The HardieZone® System entails climate-specific product formulations for the Midwest, the HZ5® product zone. 

HZ5 siding is winter-ready and able to resist shrinking, swelling, and cracking even after years of wet or freezing conditions. It is made of fiber cement, which makes it durable and long-lasting through the harsh weather conditions in the Midwest. James Hardie siding will not burn, withstands moisture, can handle heat, and withstand extreme weather conditions. This siding is also strong enough to withstand Twin Cities wind storms–they can resist flying debris and will stay attached to your home. 

If you’re looking for a great investment in your home, choose James Hardie. 

Woodpecker Resistant

In Minnesota, pests are a huge issue for siding, particularly woodpeckers. James Hardie’s fiber cement siding is designed to resist woodpecker damage and pest invasion. Cladding your home in James Hardie siding and trim protects it from the pecking pests that wreak havoc across the Midwest.

Some other ways to protect your siding from woodpeckers include: 

• Installing reflective or predatory props, such as owls. 

• Provide bird food in other areas of your yard to discourage them from pecking at your home. 

• Repair holes immediately. 

Fade Resistant

James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology is designed for the summer’s heat and beating sun. The ColorPlus Technology finish is multi-coated, baked-on, and helps resist fading from damaging UV rays to retain vibrancy longer than paint applied on the job site.

Extra Insulation

Superior siding materials like James Hardie add extra insulation and protection to your home. Siding helps maintain your home’s internal temperature, just like regular insulation. Choosing a well-made siding can improve your home’s energy bills over time. James Hardie siding also helps prevent pests from getting inside, where they can cause more problems.
