Choosing the Right James Hardie Colors for Colorado
One of the biggest advantages of working with an authorized James Hardie siding contractor in Longmont is access to ColorPlus® Technology. Unlike field-applied paint that can peel or fade under Colorado’s intense UV radiation, Hardie ColorPlus finishes are baked onto the fiber cement boards in a controlled factory environment. This creates a consistent, durable bond that resists chipping and cracking, even during our 100-degree summer days and sub-zero winter nights.
The Statement Collection™
This collection features the most popular colors in Northern Colorado, such as Arctic White, Gray Slate, and Boothbay Blue. These classic tones are designed to complement the natural landscape of the Front Range and provide a timeless look that boosts curb appeal for decades.
The Dream Collection™
If you want a truly custom look, the Dream Collection offers over 700 finished color options. From deep earth tones like Mountain Sage to modern neutrals like Navajo Beige, we can match any architectural style from historic Boulder Victorians to modern Longmont new builds.
Why Baked-On Color Matters: In Colorado, we experience “thermal expansion,” where materials grow and shrink with temperature swings. Traditional paint can’t always keep up, leading to unsightly “alligatoring” or flakes. James Hardie finishes are engineered to move with the board. This is why we often see homeowners save thousands in long-term maintenance costs; while your neighbor is repainting their wood or vinyl every 5 years, your Hardie siding will still look freshly installed.
Longmont James Hardie FAQ
Q: Is James Hardie siding worth the extra cost in Colorado?
A: Absolutely. While the upfront cost is higher than vinyl, James Hardie fiber cement is non-combustible and impact-resistant. In Colorado, this often leads to lower insurance premiums and higher home resale value because it won’t melt in a wildfire or shatter in a hailstorm.
Q: How long does a Hardie siding installation take?
A: Most Longmont residential projects take between 7 to 14 days. This includes the removal of old siding, inspecting the sheathing, installing the HardieWrap® weather barrier, and the precision nailing of the planks.
Q: Will my insurance pay for a James Hardie upgrade?
A: If your home has existing siding damage from a storm, we can often work with your insurance adjuster to cover the cost. While they may only pay for “like-kind” replacement, many homeowners choose to pay the difference to upgrade to Hardie for better future protection.
Q: Does James Hardie siding require painting?
A: If you choose the ColorPlus® Technology finish, the color is baked into the board at the factory. It is highly resistant to UV fading and typically doesn’t need repainting for 15+ years, unlike traditional wood siding.
