\What is Fiber Cement Siding?
Fiber cement is a strong, composite material made from a blend of cement, sand, water, and cellulose fibers. Known for its durability and low maintenance, fiber cement siding has been used for over a century. It offers a semi-rigid structure that provides excellent protection from the elements while remaining slightly flexible to withstand environmental changes.
Fiber cement siding continues to grow in popularity due to its balance of affordability and performance. While it is more expensive than vinyl, it typically outlasts and outperforms it—offering better resistance to fire, pests, and rot. It’s also a more budget-friendly option compared to materials like brick, synthetic stucco, and certain types of wood siding.
What is Hardie Board (Hardie Plank)?
Hardie Board—also known as Hardie Plank—is a specific brand of fiber cement siding created by James Hardie, a company that pioneered fiber cement technology in the 1980s. Designed to handle extreme weather conditions, Hardie Board was developed to offer the classic look of wood siding with significantly greater durability and less maintenance.
James Hardie products are engineered for climate and built to withstand Charleston’s heat, humidity, and coastal weather—making them a smart choice for homeowners in the Lowcountry.

Siding Painting Process
In order to create a beautiful finish on your Hardie Board or fiber cement siding, it’s imperative that the proper preparation and coatings are used.
1 Power Wash
Wash the Hardie board or fiber cement siding to clear off excess dirt, mold, and debris. For fiber cement, there will be some residual chalkiness, which is normal.
2 Prep
Our team will carefully cover all items on your house that are not meant to be painted. We will cover the ground with drop cloths to protect it from overspray.
3 Paint
Once everything is prepped, your CertaPro team will apply premium-quality paint to your home’s exterior, creating a uniform finish.
4 Clean
At the end of each day, the painting crew cleans up around your home, ensuring any paint chips are removed and all materials are stored neatly away.
5 Inspect
After our own inspection, your job site supervisor will walk you through the space, giving you the opportunity to review our work and to provide any initial feedback.
