When choosing new siding for your home, performance, maintenance, and long-term durability matter. That’s why so many East Bay homeowners—from Pleasanton to Fremont, Walnut Creek, Tracy, and Milpitas trust James Hardie® fiber cement siding. Known for its strength and lasting beauty, James Hardie siding is Engineered for Climate®, meaning it’s scientifically designed to perform in the Bay Area’s unique mix of hot summers, cool coastal air, and seasonal rain.
Each James Hardie® siding and trim product is crafted to resist warping, cracking, sagging, melting, and moisture damage. These problems can affect vinyl or wood siding over time. With built-in protection against mold and temperature extremes, Hardie fiber cement siding offers the ideal balance of low maintenance, weather resistance, and timeless curb appeal for California homes.
Homeowners who love the timeless charm of real wood siding often choose James Hardie® fiber cement siding for its elegant, authentic wood-grain texture and long-lasting performance. Unlike generic vinyl siding, James Hardie siding is non-combustible, rot-resistant, and up to five times thicker, creating deeper shadow lines and a more natural wood appearance. The result is a luxury exterior finish that combines the beauty of wood with the durability of fiber cement, giving your home a classic, sophisticated look that endures through the Bay Area’s diverse climate.

For California homeowners, especially those in wildfire-prone areas like Pleasanton, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Tracy, and Milpitas, fire resistance is a critical factor when choosing new siding.
