Our James Hardie Siding Partnership

Fiber cement siding only performs the way James Hardie designed it to when the installation follows the manufacturer's fastening, flashing, and moisture-management specs to the letter. Elm Construction Services is a James Hardie installer, trained directly on those specs, and Portland's wet-weather climate is exactly why that training matters here.

What Fiber Cement Needs in a Damp Climate

Hardie's installation program covers fastening patterns, flashing details, and moisture management, the details that keep water running off the board instead of working in behind it. In a market where siding faces months of Pacific Northwest rain every year, a missed flashing detail stays hidden at first. It shows up as rot behind the board a couple of winters later.

That's why our crews follow Hardie's installation requirements on every job, from the starter strip to the corner flashing, not just the steps a warranty inspector happens to check.
