What is Cement Fiberboard Siding?
Fiber cement is a composite material, made of cement, sand, water and cellulose fibers. Fiber cement siding is a durable, long-lasting, and low-maintenance material that’s been around for over 100 years. It is a semi-rigid material that provides substantial protection, while still maintaining its flexible properties. Increasing in popularity, fiber cement costs less than brick, synesthetic stucco, and even some wood siding. Although more expensive than vinyl, fiber cement remains more popular due to its aforementioned unique attributes.
What is Hardie Board?
Hardie Board or Hardie Plank is kind of fiber cement board siding invented by James Hardie. His company made industrial material and pioneered the development of a fiber-cement technology in the mid-1980s. Hardie’s company intended to create an exterior product that could endure extreme climates while retaining the beauty of wood siding. Its no wonder hardie plank is so popular in Anne Arundel County!

Frequently Asked Questions About Fiber Cement & Hardie Board Siding Painting
1. Can fiber cement or Hardie Board siding be painted?
Yes. Both fiber cement and Hardie Board siding can be painted successfully when properly prepared. In fact, painting helps seal the surface against moisture, UV rays, and coastal humidity—protecting your investment and extending the life of your siding.
2. How often should Hardie siding be repainted?
With the right preparation and premium-quality coatings, Hardie siding typically needs repainting every 8 to 12 years. Maryland’s coastal conditions can affect longevity, so regular inspections for fading, chipping, or mildew are recommended.
3. What type of paint works best for Hardie or fiber cement siding?
CertaPro Painters® of Severna Park uses 100% acrylic, weather-resistant exterior paints specifically formulated for fiber cement. These coatings provide excellent adhesion, UV protection, and color retention for long-lasting results.
4. Do you need to prime Hardie Board before painting?
If the siding was pre-primed by the manufacturer (such as James Hardie’s factory-primed boards), a full re-priming isn’t always necessary. However, we always spot-prime bare areas, seams, and repaired sections to ensure full coverage and adhesion.
5. What’s the preparation process before painting fiber cement siding?
Our team begins with a thorough power wash to remove dirt, mildew, and chalking. We then inspect for any loose caulk, damage, or surface issues before applying premium paint designed to resist Maryland’s humid conditions and temperature swings.
6. Can you change the color of my Hardie siding?
Absolutely. Whether you want to match your existing shade or switch to a completely new look, our color consultation services can help you select the perfect color to complement your home and neighborhood.
7. Will painting affect the warranty on my Hardie siding?
Painting Hardie Board does not void your siding warranty—as long as the correct paint and application process are used. Our professional painters follow manufacturer-approved guidelines to ensure your finish remains compliant.
8. How long does it take to paint Hardie or fiber cement siding?
Most projects take just a few days, depending on the home’s size and weather conditions. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and ensure your home is protected throughout the process.
9. How do I maintain my painted Hardie siding?
Maintenance is simple. Wash your siding once or twice a year to remove dirt and pollen, check caulking annually, and schedule touch-ups if needed. Regular upkeep will help your home look fresh and vibrant for years.
