Northern Virginia encompasses a diverse range of neighborhoods and communities, each with its own unique housing styles. Many parts of Northern Virginia have a mix of older and newer homes with some older homes dating back to the early 20th century or earlier. One easy way to update an older home is to install beautiful and durable HardiePlank siding.
HardiePlank siding, also known as Hardie board or fiber cement siding, is an incredibly popular type of exterior siding in Leesburg, Ashburn, Loudoun, and Fairfax neighborhoods, and for good reason!
HardiePlank siding is incredibly durable and resistant to various elements such as moisture, rot, fire, insects, and harsh weather conditions…. All of which are common in the northern Virginia area.
Additionally, compared to some other siding materials, HardiePlank requires relatively low maintenance. It doesn’t need to be painted frequently, and its color tends to hold up well over time.

Installation of HardiePlank siding:
Installation of HardiePlank siding requires expertise and precision to ensure proper installation and sealing to prevent moisture intrusion. The team at Care Contracting are certified contractors with extensive experience installing fiber cement siding.
Pre-Install Preparation:
First, ensure the surface where the siding is being installed is clean, dry, and smooth. Additionally, to prevent any water intrusion we recommend installing flashing around windows, doors, and corners.
Installation:
Our team of experts know the right materials and amounts to ensure a smooth installation process. Many DIY homeowners can waste time and materials by either mis-measuring or cutting incorrectly. After installing the starter strip we begin at one corner of a wall and work our way across, making sure all siding is level along the way.
Post Installation:
Once all siding and trim are installed, we caulk any gaps or joints to prevent water infiltration. We also, paint and prime the siding as needed. Lastly, we remove any debris and leave the work area cleaner then when we first arrived!
