Hardie Board Repair and Installation in Blountstown, FL

Calhoun County is heavily wooded, so the problem with siding around Blountstown is usually shade rather than sun. The boards sit in the damp and rarely get enough sun to dry out. Add the drive time, and doing it once in fiber cement makes more sense than coming back out for the same repair, and Kevin will tell you whether that means one wall or the whole home.

Blountstown sits on the Apalachicola River at the western edge of the area we cover, in the most rural part of Calhoun County.

Hardie board is fiber cement rather than wood, which is why it holds up here where wood siding struggles. It does not rot, and termites do not touch it. We replace boards that have failed, cut in new sections where the damage is localized, and re-side whole walls and elevations where the wood is past saving. It does go on differently from wood, though, the board is heavier, it cuts differently, and the courses and fasteners have to be set out carefully, since one row off at the bottom carries all the way up the wall. The trim matters just as much. Corner boards, window and door casings, fascia and frieze all need to be cut and fitted cleanly, because the edges are where any shortcut would show. That is ordinary finish carpentry, the work Kevin has been doing for more than 30 years.
