I’ve had hardie on my house for 17 years and it’s never been hit by a sledge hammer

You must be living in good neighborhood :)

Not yet. If I had a sledgehammer I would be looking for houses with James Hardie siding lol. Especially if it has no osb behind it. Easy money.

@rightytighty3031 Год назад

I've installed both JH and LP here in Oklahoma for years. Although this evaluation was well thought out and nicely presented as a comparison of siding options, I'm not sold that JH and LP should be compared as Best/Worst as in the "same" category. Concrete option vs Wood option, and the negative focus seems to be water penetration (?). Because I can only speak to my experiences regardless of marketing techniques, I'd like to offer a viewpoint. When given the option of siding products, it's not uncommon homeowners may choose JH. Unfortunately, when the numbers come in, LP wins almost every time. Product costs, as well as labor costs routinely will turn a customer's nose up. I simply think it's important to express that when it comes to moisture, NO wood product will ever be superior to a product lacking the ability to absorb water. For that reason, product installation, protection, and maintenance dollars spent over time typically outweigh the "up front" spending from an otherwise careful budget while building or remodeling. That said, I have no preference of one over the other. I've made plenty of JH repairs due to cracking and broken siding, just as I've made plenty of repairs to LP from moisture issues. Either siding, once compromised, moisture will find its way in. Good video ... just another viewpoint.

@michelfilion5482 2 года назад

Fantastic breakdown. I highly appreciate not only the time and effort you put in this, but above all, your honesty.

@Adam-hf3dv Год назад

Hey so what do you prefer for a siding for a new house build? Do you prefer the vinyl siding?

@bobbygetsbanned6049 Год назад

Good video but you're wrong on a couple things, people install Hardie directly over studs all the time! It's very common for houses in my area to have t1-11 siding directly over studs, people often replace it with Hardie without adding sheathing. You should never let sprinklers hit your siding, vinyl, brick, LP it doesn't matter, the moisture will get through and rot siding and or studs over time.

@buckshot5896 7 месяцев назад

I’m remodeling a house I bought that has T1-11 siding on. They did use 1/2” celotex(aluminum foil backing) directly on studs then T1-11. I checked around and told I had to sheet my house then put siding on. It wouldn’t be up to code to directly add James hardy or any siding on studs. I went with zip system over the celotex then with James hardy. I had to sheet it to add a rain screen because cement board will soak water or moisture. Nobody talks about the major class action lawsuit that James hardy had to settle. I’m an electrical contractor and supply houses are more honest with me than they would be with homeowners. They all talked me out of LP siding, because everything depends on the paint

@jeffreyhillmeyer3391 2 года назад

Dmitry - good job! I'm an architect and I appreciate the thorough comparison. I am so glad you called out the warranty provisions. There is nothing worse for a property owner to discover than when they realized they had all this "work" to do to "maintain" the warranty for the manufacturer!! Anyway, I have specified James Hardie products for over 35 years on all my residential and commercial projects where we want this kind of look for the client and the architecture.

@paraglidingnut26 7 месяцев назад

As a roofing contractor, I completely agree with your recommendation.

@gkboettger1 Год назад

I am in the process of getting bids for windows and siding now. I have it down to LP and JH and I have gone back and forth based on the companies comments when they come out to give the bid. This is really great. Thanks for the help on this.

@carlbaldwin8972 Год назад

Definitely 5 🌟..I was actually getting completely ready to use LP siding on my new house...starting watching video..very imformative..makes complete sense...immediately contacted drafting engineers and changed over to t1-11 plywood..it was that close..thank goodness for your imformation..viewers can definitely benefit from utube videos like this..need plenty more

@bryanlay3652 2 года назад

Good break down, one thing I think is worth adding is the STC of the material for acoustic benefits. I have a train about 100 yards from where i'll be building my home and the thermal mass and STC benefits have led me to highly consider Hardie planks on top of ICFs.

@CheekyMonkey888 Год назад

i m doing a hardie install over icf, what screws did you use?

@janellegrieco6077 Год назад

Very good video! I always thought LP smart siding was a good product however now I understand what is more in their warranty! I will tell you it is very important to read the warranty and you pointed that out in the video and I am glad you did! Very eye opening!

@paulchristenson9494 2 года назад

I installed vinyl siding on the second floor of my house in Sunnyvale. After a few years, large areas of the siding began to slowly melt and sag. It took a while for me to figure out that at certain times of day during the summer, some of my low-e glass windows were reflecting IR from sunlight onto those sections of vinyl. So those sections were being heated by the combination of direct sunlight PLUS the heat that was being reflected from windows. I ended up ripping off all the vinyl and doing it over with Hardie Cedermill planks. It looks beautiful. I also used Hardie on my ranch house in the mountains. We survived a wild fire that burned right up to the house.

@NicholasLittlejohn 2 года назад

Vinyl is indeed dangerous in fire areas and toxic too.

@keitha.9788 2 года назад

Here in the state of Washington, it you put on vinyl siding, it may be difficult to sell your house. Everybody uses Hardie Plank - it lasts.......

@mcram15 3 года назад

Great video. I am currently trying to make a product decision for my siding project, a reno. The concern I have with Hardie is that it is critical that it is caulked properly and the caulking is maintained over the life of the product. If water gets behind it you can have significant problems including rot of the Hardie. So if you have a two storey house this means you have significant labour just to inspect the caulking periodically. And also you have to ensure your contractor is doing to good job on the caulking in the first place. For this reason I am leaning toward vinyl.

Despite being over 30 minutes this video couldn’t be shorter I was expecting a lot of unnecessary information or slow content and tried to let the video play while I listened to it with earbuds but kept coming back to my phone to see the video and I’m now even commenting, which I don’t normally do. Great job with this video I’ll definitely check out your other content. You’ve made a subscriber out of me

@johnlile7562 3 года назад

TY for doing this, like you, I have a strong distrust for marketers too, some more than others. You covered and exposed LP Smart Side well. I don’t have as much beef with James Hardy on their marketing, but concerning their durability, there are two things I’ve observed from other youtubers concerning their product. One, over time the sun will break down the cement siding and make it brittle. Two, the paint likewise exposed to sun will become powdery, rubbing your finger over old sun exposed James Hardy siding will leave streaks on the siding and powder on your fingers. Thanks for doing this video, one of my favorites comparing siding.

@RoofingInsights3.0 3 года назад

Thanks for Support brother! Absolutely appreciate every comment!

@TheSamba37 2 года назад

Vinyl siding melting from window reflections is the biggest issue I've seen. Easy to replace the siding with a fresh bit of vinyl, but if the neighbor doesn't get rid of their window, it's just going to continue happening. Big point deduction for vinyl because of this.

@benzun9600 3 года назад

@mylightofhope 2 года назад

As a consumer I really appreciated this video! I stumbled here after seeing a video where a guy said get rid of your vinyl siding, it's like wrapping you're house in jet fuel. So of course that was a bit alarming--but thankfully I live in the country so no houses close enough to me to easily catch fire from another house, and really common sense has always been to locate/use a grill away not up next to a house! So with that potential exception, your chart looked very much in favor on what matters most of vinyl siding, especially if outs insulated. This gave me information I needed to make a decision based upon my budget what I need to do. Thank you thank you!

@eh_bailey 3 года назад

Here in Texas we had vinyl siding that would get brittle in the sun. JH was a great option for the long haul. I would love to see a video in different kinds of metal siding.

@judahbrutus Год назад

A couple comments from an inspector who looks at each of these daily. Hardie board cracks fairly often. If you overdrive the nails, install too tight, or have minor expansion and contraction of the framing or sheathing. I've also seen it deteriorate pretty quickly if the paint is worn. Vinyl siding dry rots over time, especially the areas that get a lot of sun. After about 20-30 years it becomes very brittle. It always cracks. I have seen the least amount of issues with LP. The only issue is if you do not seal the ends or caulk properly it will deteriorate at the cut ends. Thats if you have no overhangs and the siding is exposed to a lot of water. It's much more forgiving and won't crack like hardie. This ranking is not accurate, vinyl is at the bottom of the barrel for siding. I would personally pick LP over hardie.

@terence4427 Год назад

Thank you for your perspective because I have personally met people who prefer LP over Hardie siding. However, I think this gentleman did a commendable job with his comparison. I don't like gimmicks and believe manufacturers should let the product speak for itself.

@RoadKen53 Год назад

Dmitry, I'm in Arizona and I'm getting ready to install Hardie Lap Siding on my 60 yr. old house. We get a lot of rain with 50 mph + winds and sometimes temperatures up to 120 degrees. I will use a guillotine cutter on the 8.25" siding to eliminate any dust and I will be using ring shank galvanized nails run through one of my collection of siding nailers. This video is very informative, and I did get the lap siding [8.25"x12'] on sale at Lowes for $7.97 ea.

@worldclassish 3 года назад

This was very helpful information for me to make my choice of siding materials to use. I can also say from experience that L.P. smartside has a poor history in my area because of all the rain.

I wonder how some of the newer composite siding materials stack up, particularly with James Hardie. I'm looking at Alside's Ascend and Everlast siding. At first glance, I really like the fire rating of Ascend and the fact that it has integrated insulation, while Everlast is basically PVC, but they both seem like viable options given the other products on the market.

@robertreynard2916 2 года назад

@cherylrieber5380 2 года назад

Replaced siding on two homes with James Hardie after hail storms. One home I put up 4 x 8 sheets which has weathered several hail storms with hardly a mark. Twenty years and looks as good as new. Made a few mistakes on installation as we didn't have good youtube videos then.

@toyarj37 8 месяцев назад

Thanks I’m getting vinyl again bc it was the older style from the 90s and lasted 31 years no issues. Vinyl comes in larger plank styles that to a regular person looks like fiber cement or wood and no caulking. And I don’t grill up against my house. Honest review

@bobbg9041 2 года назад

One type of siding beyond woods you didn't mention was steel siding . Look at ABC siding in kcmo. The Log siding never needs paint wont dent and always looks good. But one drawback it also blocks Radio signals so you may not get WIFI outside your house. Or you might need a TV antena on your house outside.

@Kevin-qb7ks 3 года назад

I stumbled on this video today and enjoyed it immensely. I have been in the business for 22 years and own my own for 10 with a major uptick is business following 2 hail storms and 1 derecho this year.

A good quality vinyl siding installed correctly is a great building science product. If water gets behind it, it allows the water/moisture to drain and dry out the backing / sheeting. Thanks for sharing you experience with all these different products!

@RoofingInsights3.0 3 года назад

Great point!

@TheRealA-A-ron 2 года назад

I’ve sold, installed, and owned both LP & Hardie. I’ve been in the trades for almost 30 years. I like them both. I can say that I’ve had the unique opportunity to see 2 houses across the street from each other. One with Hardie & the other with LP. I know the Hardie installer and he is a Hardie “Elite Preferred”Contractor. Don’t know the LP installer. They where at the end of a development so both walls faced the same direction. Large hail literally bashed half the Hardie off the garage wall. The garage wall on the house with LP had no holes. You had to walk up on it to see the dents. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed it. Same damage to the roof, gutters, and facia on both houses. However, I think if they are installed correctly both products are very good quality and will give you many years protection. I’ve also experienced both Hardie & LP refuse a warranty claim for moisture damage & finish problems. In my opinion, take the time to vet your installer. In most cases that will make the difference. Even your Vinyl will fail, leak and promote moisture damage if installed incorrectly.

@andrearatkovic4048 2 года назад

I had Hardie but now am getting siding replaced w/LP. I don’t know if my contractor’s people know how to properly install it. I think they’re using cheap caulking since it’s already receded/exposed the seams, and the siding has been on for a month! Also, all of the lower portions are buckling; I googled this, and it’s d/to improper spacing? Just looking for some advice on how to address those issues w/my contractor. It’s $16K of siding/work. I want it done RIGHT and so any warranties apply. Thank you.

@bobbygetsbanned6049 Год назад

The Hardie over studs test is also relevant for a lot of people in my area. t1-11 siding over studs is very common on older homes here, people replace it with Hardie thinking it's a cure all and have no idea it's not nearly as impact resistance and does nothing for shear strength like their old wood siding did. The most important thing with any siding is to install it right and in conditions where it's got a good chance to survive.

After watching, I am thinking about combo of mostly JH and Vinyl but do you think I will be able to match vinyl to JH Arctic White color? Or, should I just do JH? I like the JH Artisan Shiplap style (combo vertical & horizontal). Also, love the contemporary look of the JH Textured Panels ie Multi Groove Panel. So hard to choose.

Combination will look great! I don’t see problem with it

They all have their pros and cons. We still only do vinyl siding but I really need to make jump into Hardie. I turn down as many Hardie estimates as I do vinyl siding jobs. We do lots of other stuff though more than siding. Gutters, soffit/fascia, screen rooms etc.

I’m dying to get the vinyl off my house and put up jh and change the look of my house.

good info - I would say that location is also very important for product choices. Where I live (South Central AK), it's dry with a large temp changes throughout the year. LP is the only way to go unless you're running cedar or another natural product. In fact, JH doesn't sell it's product in our state anymore because of all of the warranty issues. Vinyl sucks up here due to the temps and wind issues (shrinks up in the cold and breaks with the wind). I know that these products are better in moist climates vs LP, but at the same time, LP has advantages over the others in dry climates... But you're right, the advertising is a running joke with LP... I would say that painting and caulking your siding is the most important part of keeping your siding in good shape for years. Cheers!
