Superior Remodelers provides James Hardie siding installation and replacement in Norwalk, CT. Whether you're replacing aging siding or planning a complete exterior renovation, we can help you choose a James Hardie style, color, and trim combination that fits your home.

Norwalk properties experience heavy rain, humidity, freezing temperatures, strong seasonal weather, and coastal exposure. James Hardie fiber cement siding is designed to resist moisture damage, pests, warping, cracking, and splitting while providing a durable, low-maintenance exterior. Its range of profiles and finishes also makes it suitable for traditional, Colonial, contemporary, and coastal-style homes.

We install several James Hardie siding styles, including:

✓⃝  Hardie Plank Lap Siding

A classic horizontal siding style that works well with traditional and contemporary Norwalk homes. Hardie Plank offers a wood-look appearance with the durability and low-maintenance benefits of fiber cement.

✓⃝  Hardie Panel & Board and Batten

Hardie Panel vertical siding can be combined with Hardie Trim Batten Boards to create a board-and-batten design. It can be used across the entire exterior or as an accent on gables, garages, porches, and entryways.

✓⃝  Hardie Shingle Siding

Hardie Shingle provides the appearance of traditional cedar shingles with fiber cement's resistance to moisture, pests, warping, and splitting. It can be used across the exterior or combined with lap siding as an architectural accent.

✓⃝  James Hardie Trim

Hardie Trim helps finish the exterior around windows, doors, corners, rooflines, and other architectural details.

  • James Hardie siding style and finish
  • Trim around windows, doors, and corners
  • Number of stories and architectural details

James Hardie Siding Replacement in Norwalk

before and after

If your existing siding is cracked, warped, rotting, severely faded, or becoming difficult to maintain, replacement may be the right solution.

James Hardie siding can replace many older exterior siding materials, including wood and vinyl. Before installation, we evaluate the existing exterior and determine what preparation is needed for the new siding.

For older Norwalk homes, siding replacement can also be an opportunity to address areas where moisture or exterior deterioration has developed over time.
