Lincoln Siding Service
James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding Installation in Lincoln, NE
James Hardie fiber cement is the upgrade most Lincoln homeowners pick when they're done with vinyl forever. Non-combustible. Engineered for the High Plains. Backed by the longest substrate warranty in the siding industry. We install it the way Hardie says to install it — every flashing detail, every fastener spacing, every clearance.
What's Included in Our James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding Service
- Full tear-off of existing siding, sheathing inspection, and rotted-substrate replacement.
- New 6 mil house wrap and butyl flashing tape at every window, door, and penetration.
- James Hardie HardiePlank®, HardieShingle®, and HardieTrim® install — pre-finished ColorPlus® or paint-ready primed.
- Hidden-fastener installs available on visible elevations.
- Full kick-out flashing, Z-flashing at horizontal trim joints, and proper clearance to grade and roof.
- Touch-up paint, caulk match, and registered ColorPlus warranty paperwork.
Why It Matters
Non-combustible
Hardie is rated non-combustible by ASTM E136 — meaningful for Lincoln properties near grain handling, garages, or where local fire setbacks matter.
Class 4 hail rating available
Specific Hardie products carry Class 4 impact ratings — the same rating that earns insurance discounts in much of Nebraska.
Color that doesn't fade
ColorPlus® baked-on finish is warrantied 15 years against fading — far better than paint on wood lap, which Lincoln's UV cycle eats in 6–8 years.
30-year substrate warranty
James Hardie warranties the substrate itself for 30 years — non-prorated. We register the warranty for you at the end of the install.
Our Process
- 1
On-site measure & sample drop
We bring physical Hardie samples in your color shortlist so you can hold them against your trim, brick, and roof shingles in your actual daylight.
- 2
Written, line-itemed proposal
Material, labor, tear-off, wrap, flashing, trim, paint touch-up, and waste disposal — broken out separately so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
- 3
Permit & material delivery
We pull City of Lincoln permits where required. Hardie product is staged on protected pallets, never directly on the lawn.
- 4
Tear-off & substrate prep
Old siding removed, sheathing inspected, rot replaced, new house wrap installed with proper laps and tape detail.
- 5
Hardie install & trim
