3 Common Installation Issues with James Hardie Siding

Owner, Clifton Muckenfuss, answers the question: What are some critical first steps that contractors miss when installing James Hardie siding?

1. Caulking above hose bibs, light blocks, etc. - THIS IS A NO-NO, and traps water behind the cladding!

2. Clearances - proper clearance for Hardieplank siding above blocks, doors, etc. 1/4" (some markets / geographic areas may be different, so check your local installation guidelines)

3. Pin-Backs / Touch Ups - pin back are used for aesthetic purposes only and designed to reduce bowing caused by irregular wall framing. Touch ups should be done using a James Hardie supplied touch up pen and in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
