You want and deserve a guarantee that your project will come off without a hitch and that the siding material and installation will be perfect. Both Holeman and Hardie are confident in their products and services. We stand behind our work. When choosing your siding manufacturer and contractor, take a close look at the product and labor warranties on offer.
Here are some things to consider:
-
How long is the warranty valid?
James Hardie offers a 30-year warranty on its siding and 15 years on its trim and ColorPlus products. Holeman backs that up with a 1-year warranty on our work.
-
What components does the siding warranty cover?
If during the warranty period, the siding material is shown to be defective, Hardie will either replace the inferior section or reimburse the homeowner the cost of replacement. Holeman will repair or replace at no cost to the homeowner any damage to the siding caused by the use of improper fasteners, deviation from established construction practices, or substandard workmanship.
-
Can the warranty be invalidated?
Both materials and workmanship warranties end if the home is sold. Other ways warranties may be terminated include aftermarket alterations to the siding made by the homeowner or a third party; homeowner abuse or negligence; improper shipping, storage, or handling of the siding before installation; incorrect building design; settlement of the structure; and damage caused by natural disasters or extreme weather.
-
How do I file a claim?
To ensure proper handling and remediation of a claim, the homeowner must notify Hardie and Holeman within 30 days after the potential defect is discovered. The claim should include proof that the claimant is the original purchaser and still owns the home and photos of the area of concern. It is interesting to note that Holeman will not be responsible for any damage if the siding was not installed according to its printed requirements and in compliance with all applicable building codes. By designating Holeman as an Elite Preferred installer, Hardie certifies that we adhere to all its best practices regarding material storage, cutting, substrate preparation, fastener selection, and finishing techniques.
