4. You can rest at ease that the siding contractor has current state licensure
When the state licenses siding contractors, they must meet specific criteria, ensuring you, the homeowner is hiring a reputable team of installers.
5. You’ll be covered with $1,000,000 of liability insurance per occurrence
If an uninsured siding contractor had a team member injured on your property, you would be responsible. That’s why it’s vital to hire a company with liability insurance.

8. You gain peace of mind knowing your new siding is covered by a 30-year warranty
The 30-year non-prorated, transferable warranty coverage the Hardie company provides is honored when you have your siding installed by an Elite Preferred contractor or a Preferred contractor. If you decide to DIY with your Hardie siding installation, you won’t enjoy the outstanding warranty coverage that Hardie offers should you need it. If you DIY, your warranty will be voided.
9. You’ll know the contractor you hire has a good record with the BBB
