Professional James Hardie Siding Services in Columbus, Ohio
Your home deserves more than just any exterior covering. Whether you’re updating worn-out vinyl, upgrading from wood siding, or installing completely new fiber cement siding on your existing home, the quality of that installation determines everything. How long your siding lasts. How well it protects your belongings. How much you spend on energy bills. How your home looks from the street. One professional James Hardie installation done right protects your family for decades. One careless installation creates problems you’ll fight for years.
When you’re ready to upgrade to James Hardie, you face dozens of decisions that seem overwhelming. Which HardiePlank profile works best for your architecture? How do ColorPlus finishes compare to primed options? What underlayment provides real moisture protection? Should you upgrade your house wrap? These aren’t just technical details. They’re the difference between siding that performs beautifully for 30 years and material that fails in year ten.

Why Columbus Homeowners Choose James Hardie Siding
Here’s what separates professional James Hardie installation from amateur work. The materials are only half the equation. How those materials get installed matters just as much as which products you choose. We’ve replaced countless siding installations that used premium fiber cement but failed early because someone rushed the job, skipped critical steps, or didn’t understand proper flashing techniques.
Central Ohio’s weather demands more from your siding than most people realize. Spring storms test every plank’s impact resistance. Summer heat and humidity cycle moisture through your walls thousands of times. Fall windstorms challenge every nail’s holding power. Winter freeze-thaw cycles push water into gaps where poor installation leaves vulnerabilities. Your James Hardie needs to handle all of this, year after year, without compromise.
The Hidden Cost of Poor Installation
Picture this common scenario. You hired the lowest bidder to install your new James Hardie siding last year. Everything looked fine when they finished. But now you’re noticing problems. Small gaps appearing at corners where improper expansion spacing shows. Paint peeling where moisture gets trapped behind improperly flashed trim. Planks cracking where installers face-nailed instead of blind-nailing. Your beautiful new siding is failing, and the company that installed it stopped returning your calls months ago.
Poor installation doesn’t announce itself on day one. It reveals itself slowly through premature failure, costly repairs, and frustration. By the time you realize something’s wrong, warranty claims get denied because “improper installation voids coverage.” You’re stuck paying twice for the same siding.
This happens across Columbus, Dublin, Westerville, and Grove City every single month. But it absolutely doesn’t have to happen to you.

How much does James Hardie siding cost in Columbus?
Most Columbus James Hardie installations range from $15,000 to $35,000, depending on home size, architectural complexity, and product choice. A typical 2,000 square foot home with HardiePlank lap siding averages $20,000-$28,000. Additions typically cost $8,000-$15,000. We provide detailed estimates after your free consultation, and you pay nothing until installation is 100% complete.
How long does James Hardie installation take in Columbus?
Most residential James Hardie installations take 5-10 days with our experienced crews. Simple ranch homes can often be completed in 5-7 days, while complex two-story homes typically take 8-10 days. New construction timelines coordinate with your builder’s schedule. Weather can affect the timeline.
What James Hardie products do you recommend for Columbus homes?
HardiePlank lap siding is most popular for Columbus homes, offering excellent durability with a 30-year warranty. HardieShingle provides authentic cedar shake appearance without maintenance. ColorPlus Technology delivers factory-applied color that resists fading for 15 years. During your consultation, we show you samples and explain which products work best for your home.
Do you handle James Hardie installation for new construction projects?
Yes, we work with homeowners, builders, and contractors on new construction James Hardie installation throughout Columbus. We coordinate with your construction timeline, deliver materials on schedule, and install according to code requirements and manufacturer specifications.
Can you install James Hardie over my existing siding?
Building code allows overlay installation in some situations, but we rarely recommend it. Complete tear-off lets us inspect your sheathing, replace damaged materials, ensure proper moisture barriers, and install new house wrap. This approach delivers better long-term performance and allows full manufacturer warranties.
What makes Coldstream Exteriors different from other Columbus siding companies?

We’re James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractors with the highest manufacturer certification. We’ve earned our BBB A+ rating and 4.9 stars from 400+ customers by treating Columbus homeowners right for 25 years.
How do I prepare my home for James Hardie installation?
We handle most preparation, but homeowners should move vehicles out of the driveway, trim back shrubs within 3 feet of the house, remove wall decorations that might fall from vibration, and plan for some noise during installation. We’ll provide a complete preparation checklist before we start.
