James Hardie fiber cement is the siding we recommend most often for Northern Nevada homes — and for good reason. It is engineered to stand up to the exact conditions our region is known for: blistering high-desert UV, dramatic day-to-night temperature swings, dry-season wildfire risk, and hard freeze-thaw winters. As your local, Renovations INC installation crew, we handle everything from a single accent wall to a complete whole-home re-side, all backed by our NV contractor's license.
What we install
James Hardie makes a full system of fiber cement products, and we install the lineup that fits your home and budget:
- HardiePlank lap siding — the classic horizontal clapboard look, available in smooth and cedarmill textures.
- HardiePanel vertical siding — clean vertical panels, often paired with HardieTrim battens for a modern board-and-batten farmhouse look.
- HardieShingle — shingle and shake-style accents for gables, dormers, and detail areas.
- HardieTrim boards and HardieSoffit — matched trim, fascia, and soffit so the whole exterior reads as one finished system.
Most of our siding is ordered with James Hardie's ColorPlus Technology finish — a factory-baked color coat applied under controlled conditions, so it bonds better and fades far less than field painting. That means dramatically less repainting over the life of your home compared to wood.
Why it matters for the Reno climate
At our elevation, ordinary wood and some vinyl sidings take a beating. Fiber cement is a different category of material. It is noncombustible and carries a Class A fire rating — a real consideration in a region where wildfire season is a fact of life. It will not rot, warp, or buckle in the heat, and it does not attract termites or woodpeckers. James Hardie's HZ5 product line is specifically formulated for cold, freeze-thaw climates like Northern Nevada's, so the boards resist the cracking and moisture damage that come with repeated winter freezes. The result is an exterior that keeps its color and shape for decades with minimal upkeep.
Our installation process
Proper installation is what makes fiber cement last — and what keeps the manufacturer warranty intact. Here is how a Renovations INC project runs:
- Free in-home estimate. We measure, review color and profile options, and give you a clear written quote — no pressure.
- Permits and prep. We pull the required permits, then carefully tear off old siding and inspect the sheathing underneath.
- Weather barrier and flashing. We install a proper weather-resistive barrier and flash every window and door — the step many cut-rate crews skip.
- Precision install. Boards go up to James Hardie's specs for fastening, gapping, and clearance, then we caulk and finish the trim.
- Walkthrough. We clean the site and walk the finished job with you before we call it done.

Frequently asked questions
Why is James Hardie siding a good fit for Reno's climate?
James Hardie fiber cement is engineered for the conditions Northern Nevada throws at a home: intense high-desert UV, big day-to-night temperature swings, and dry-season wildfire risk. It is noncombustible, resists fading and cracking, and won't rot, warp, or attract pests like wood siding can. Hardie's HZ5 product line is specifically formulated for cold, freeze-thaw climates like ours.
What is the ColorPlus Technology finish and do I have to repaint it?
ColorPlus Technology is a factory-baked color finish applied in controlled conditions, so it bonds far better and fades far less than field painting. It dramatically reduces repainting compared to wood. You can still paint Hardie a custom color later if you want to change it, but most homeowners choose a ColorPlus shade and leave it.
How long does a James Hardie re-side take and do you handle the permit?
A typical full-home re-side runs about one to two weeks on site depending on square footage, the number of stories, and trim detail. Yes — we pull the required permits and coordinate inspections as part of the project, and we handle tear-off, proper flashing, and weather-resistive barrier so the install meets code and the warranty terms.
