GOT ANY QUESTIONS
ABOUT YOUR SIDING?
Can siding be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes. Minor cracking, isolated storm damage, or loose panels can often be repaired without full replacement.
How long does siding installation take?
Most residential siding projects in Austin take 3–7 days depending on home size.
Is siding covered by insurance?
Storm and hail damage may be covered depending on your policy, the cause of loss, and the insurer’s determination. We assist homeowners with documentation and claims support.
What is the best siding for Texas weather?
Fiber cement siding like James Hardie performs best in Austin’s heat, storms, and humidity.
How much does James Hardie siding cost in Austin?
At Driftwood Builders Roofing, standard HardiePlank lap siding currently starts around $16 per square foot installed, with board & batten and shingle-style profiles running higher. See our full James Hardie siding cost guide for the complete pricing table, or use our siding pricing calculator for a preliminary estimate.
How long does James Hardie siding last in Austin?
James Hardie rates its fiber cement products for roughly 30–50 years under normal conditions, per the manufacturer’s published specifications.
Is James Hardie siding worth it over vinyl in Texas?
For most Austin homeowners planning to stay in the home more than a decade, yes — fiber cement handles Central Texas heat, UV exposure, and hail better than vinyl, and it can be repainted rather than replaced when it eventually fades. See our full fiber cement vs. vinyl comparison for the detailed breakdown.
Can hail actually damage James Hardie siding?
Fiber cement is significantly more impact-resistant than vinyl, but it isn’t indestructible — hail can crack or chip it, and not every mark you see is hail damage. See our guide, Hail Damage to Siding: How to Spot It and What Insurance Covers.
Does Driftwood work on siding as well as roofing?
Yes — Driftwood is a James Hardie Siding Contractor and GAF Master Elite roofing company, so we handle both, including the flashing and water-barrier details where a roof and siding meet, which is often where problems actually start.
What areas do you serve for siding work?
South Austin, Circle C Ranch, Manchaca, Buda, Kyle, San Marcos, Dripping Springs, Driftwood, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Spicewood, Marble Falls, Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, Georgetown, Jarrell, Salado, Del Valle, Bastrop, Lockhart, and Westlake.
What's a weather-resistant barrier and why does it matter?
It’s the water-management layer installed behind siding, between it and the wall sheathing. If it’s missing, damaged, or installed incorrectly, water can get behind the siding without being visible from outside until real damage has already occurred. We check this during every inspection — see what we found on a recent project.
Do you replace fascia as part of a siding project?
Yes — fascia replacement starts around $28 per linear foot installed, whether it’s part of a larger siding project or standalone work. See our full fascia repair guide for warning signs and the repair-vs-replace decision.
Does James Hardie siding attract termites?
No, the material itself isn’t a food source — but the wood behind it can be. See our guide on Central Texas termites and your siding for a real example of what we’ve found.
Why is my gutter pulling away from my fascia?
Almost always a sign the fascia underneath has softened and can no longer hold the fasteners. See our guide on gutters pulling away from fascia for what to check.
Why is my new siding already cracking or popping nails?
Usually an installation issue — nail placement or a joint restricting the board’s movement — not a material defect. See our full guide on siding cracking and nail pops.
What should I do if I hear animals in my soffit?
Call a pest control company first for safe removal, then have the soffit and entry point repaired. See our guide on animal and pest damage behind soffit for the full process.
Does James Hardie siding need to be repainted?
Eventually, yes — both ColorPlus and field-painted finishes are exterior coatings, not permanent. See our guide on painting and repainting James Hardie siding.
Why is the trim around my windows or doors rotting?
Often a sign of a water-management problem — failed flashing or caulk at the opening — not just old wood. See our full guide on window and door trim rot.
