SIDING INSTALLATION - choose the best protection

At Georgia In Home Services, we choose the highest quality siding materials to provide durable protection for your home. We specialize in installing both vinyl and fiber cement siding. The wear and tear from Georgia's extreme weather patterns mean that your siding will no doubt have to be replaced during your home's life cycle.

Cracks or rot in the siding is an open invitation to moisture and mold growth. You don't want pests or insects setting up home in those cracks. Siding that appears to be fading or discolored, points to symptoms of potential moisture damage. High energy bills could be partly to blame for siding issues. When siding is damaged, it will lose the capacity to insulate and protect your house. Homeowners will see heating and HVAC systems working overtime to keep the house cool in Summer and warm in Winter.

FIBER CEMENT Siding lasts up to 50 years. Siding that is nice and strong, made from cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. Resistant to fire, insects, and weather, plus it is known to not warp. Georgia In Home Services install fiber cement siding products from the brand name James Hardie(r).

HardiePlank brings a wood-like appearance to any home and boasts a wonderful range of vivid color options in a variety of textures to suit any style. A nice to know is that HardiePlank can be painted. Many homeowners feel painting improves the look and the life of the material.

Fiber Cement Innovation: With the HardieZone(tm) System, James Hardie provides siding with specific performance attributes relative to the climate where the product is used.

An occasional rinse and rub with the garden hose will have the vinyl siding look as good as new. Clapboard and Dutch lap designs come in a dozen color options to compliment any style of home.
