Choosing the right siding isn’t just about curb appeal — it’s about protecting your home, improving energy efficiency, and adding long-term value. At Acute Roofing & Exteriors, we guide Missouri homeowners every step of the way. One of the best exterior upgrades you can make? James Hardie board siding.

This guide will help you understand why so many homeowners in the St. Louis area are choosing James Hardie, and why Acute Roofing is the contractor trusted to install it right.

What Is James Hardie Board?

James Hardie board is a high-performance fiber cement siding made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. It combines the look of natural wood with the strength of masonry, all while resisting the elements better than vinyl or wood.

Hardie siding is known for:

  • Exceptional weather resistance

  • Low maintenance requirements

  • Long-lasting color and style options

  • Fire, moisture, and pest resistance

At Acute Roofing, we install James Hardie board for homeowners who want dependable protection and modern curb appeal.

Why James Hardie Siding Is Ideal for St. Louis Homes

Built for Missouri’s Weather

St. Louis weather can be unpredictable — heat, humidity, snow, storms, and sudden temperature swings. James Hardie’s HardieZone® system adapts to these conditions with siding that resists:

  • Cracking during freeze-thaw cycles

  • Warping from moisture

  • Fading from sun exposure

  • Wind and hail damage

This isn’t generic siding — it’s engineered for the Midwest climate.

Proper Installation Is Key

When it comes to James Hardie installation in St. Louis, the quality of the install matters just as much as the product. Our crews at Acute Roofing are factory-trained and certified to install Hardie siding to the manufacturer’s exact standards.

That means your siding not only performs better — it also maintains its full warranty protection.

Built to Last. Designed to Impress.

James Hardie siding is available in a variety of styles and finishes to match your home’s architecture. Popular options include:

  • HardiePlank® lap siding

  • HardiePanel® vertical siding

  • HardieShingle® for a cedar shake look

  • HardieTrim® boards for clean corners and edges

With baked-on ColorPlus® finishes, your siding stays vibrant and fade-resistant for years — no repainting needed.

Fire, Pest, and Rot Resistance
