James Hardie Siding

James Hardie Siding Specialists in Rockland & Westchester

James Hardie siding is made from fiber cement and built tough. Around Rockland and Westchester, winters freeze, summers stay damp, and storms beat up weaker siding fast. Hardie holds up to that kind of weather and comes in different textures and finishes so you can match it to the look of your house.
Meridian Contracting has been working with siding in this area for more than 15 years. Our licensed and insured crew installs James Hardie the way the manufacturer requires, so it holds up and keeps the warranty valid. Every job includes a 10-year workmanship warranty, and we follow local codes so the siding fits both the weather and the architecture here.
Along with James Hardie, we handle siding repair, painting, and installation of vinyl, wood, engineered wood, and stucco, giving homeowners full exterior care from one team.

Our Proven James Hardie Installation Process

James Hardie siding works best when it’s installed the way the maker calls for. We start with a look at the house, figure out what needs fixing, and lay out the plan. From there, it’s step by step until the job’s done.
Old Siding Removal
We pull the old siding off and get rid of the mess, so the walls are ready.
Wall Check
We look for rot, soft spots, or damage in the sheathing. If something’s bad, we fix it before moving on.
Weather Barrier
We put in underlayment and water-resistant wraps that keep moisture out and add years to the siding.
James Hardie Panels
Panels are cut and fastened to line up right and lock in tight, the way the manufacturer requires.
Trim and Finish
We add the trim, corners, and soffits so the siding is sealed up and the house looks finished.
Final Walkthrough
We check the job with you, clean up the site, and hand you the warranty papers.

Siding damage usually starts small and gets worse fast if it’s ignored. Fiber cement is strong, but after enough tough seasons, it shows wear.
