Hardie Siding
James Hardie fiber cement siding — the gold standard in exterior cladding for New Orleans homes. Installed by Santacruz Construction's expert crew since 2003.
Why Hardie?
The Last Siding You'll Ever Need
James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered to outperform wood, vinyl, and aluminum in every category — beauty, durability, and long-term value.
Fire Resistant
Non-combustible fiber cement won't ignite or contribute to the spread of fire — a critical safety advantage.
Moisture Resistant
Engineered to resist moisture damage, rot, and fungal growth that destroys traditional wood siding.
Impact & Wind Resistant
Withstands harsh weather including high winds, hail, and extreme temperature swings without warping.
Increases Home Value
Hardie siding consistently ranks among the highest ROI home improvements — averaging 76%+ return.
