Siding Painting in North Metro Atlanta, GA

Does my Hardie Board Siding Need to be Painted?

Yes — Your Hardie Board Siding Needs to Be Painted

Fiber cement siding like James Hardie is built to last — but that doesn’t mean it’s maintenance-free. If it’s been 5–7 years since your Hardie siding was painted, or you’re seeing signs of wear, now’s the time to repaint.

Why Hardie Siding Still Needs Maintenance in Georgia

Hardie siding is made of cement-based materials, but it still has a surface coating that wears down over time. If you delay repainting, the siding can begin to:

• Delaminate (layers separate)
• Crack or peel
• Absorb moisture
• Show fading and uneven color

We’ve seen many homes across North Metro Atlanta that needed major siding repairs or replacement simply because the paint maintenance was neglected.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. A timely paint job can preserve your Hardie siding and save you thousands in replacement costs.

When to Repaint Hardie Board in Georgia

It’s been 5–7 years since last painted . The color is faded or chalky . You notice cracking, peeling, or dry areas . You’re ready for a color change.  All of these are times when it is time to paint your Hardie Board Siding.

Even if it “looks okay,” once the coating wears off, water can start working its way in — especially around seams and nail holes.

Our Process for Painting Hardie Siding

1. Pressure Washing – We clean your siding thoroughly to remove debris and prepare for paint.

2. Protect Non-Paintable Areas – Windows, trim, landscaping — all carefully covered.

3. Inspection & Light Repairs – We identify and patch small problem areas to ensure a clean surface.

4. Paint Application –

• Most projects require one even coat using high-performance Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint
• Color changes or very dry siding may require a second coat for full coverage.

We always offer the second coat as an optional estimate, so you can choose what works best for your siding’s condition and your budget.
