We’re a family-owned company built on honesty, integrity, and quality workmanship — and James Hardie reflects those same values in every product they make.
Why We Install James Hardie Siding
James Hardie didn’t become the number one siding brand in North America by accident. They pioneered fiber cement technology in the mid-1980s, introduced it to the North American market in the early 1990s, and have spent every year since refining their products to perform better, last longer, and look more authentic. Their fiber cement formula — a blend of Portland cement, sand, and cellulose fibers — produces a siding that won’t rot, won’t burn, won’t attract insects, and won’t warp or buckle through Indiana’s extreme seasonal temperature swings. We’ve installed James Hardie on countless homes across our service area, and it consistently outperforms every other siding material we work with. That’s why it’s our go-to recommendation for homeowners who want to invest in their home’s long-term protection and curb appeal.
James Hardie Products We Install
James Hardie offers a full range of fiber cement siding styles to fit virtually any home design — from classic lap siding to vertical panels to cedar shake-style shingles. Every product in their lineup is engineered for our climate through the HardieZone system, which means the siding is formulated specifically for the conditions Indiana homeowners deal with every season. Our team will help you find the right product for your home’s style and your long-term goals.

HardiePlank Lap Siding
HardiePlank is James Hardie’s flagship product and the most popular brand of siding in North America. Its classic horizontal profile replicates the look of traditional wood lap siding with none of the maintenance headaches that come with real wood. HardiePlank is available in a range of textures — including a realistic cedarmill wood-grain finish — and a wide selection of colors through ColorPlus Technology. It’s engineered for climate, non-combustible, resistant to moisture and rot, and comes backed by James Hardie’s 30-year non-prorated transferable limited warranty. For Indiana homeowners looking for a durable, timeless, low-maintenance siding solution, HardiePlank is the standard by which everything else is measured.
HardiePanel Vertical Siding
HardiePanel delivers the clean, modern look of vertical siding with the same fiber cement durability James Hardie is known for. It’s a strong choice for homeowners who want a contemporary aesthetic or a traditional board-and-batten look when combined with HardieTrim batten boards. Like all James Hardie products, HardiePanel is engineered for climate and stands up to Indiana’s harshest conditions. It carries James Hardie’s 30-year non-prorated transferable limited warranty and is available in both Cedarmill and smooth finishes.
HardieShingle Siding
HardieShingle gives homeowners the warm, authentic look of cedar shake siding without the rot, cracking, splitting, and ongoing maintenance that natural wood demands. Available in staggered-edge and straight-edge profiles, HardieShingle is a great fit for accent areas, full exterior applications, and homes with a coastal or cottage-inspired design. Fiber cement holds its finish up to three times longer than real wood, and HardieShingle is fully resistant to fire, insects, and moisture. It carries James Hardie’s 30-year non-prorated transferable limited warranty.
HardieTrim Boards
No siding installation is complete without the right trim, and HardieTrim is built to match. These fiber cement trim boards accent windows, doors, columns, fascia, and corners with the same durability and weather resistance as the siding itself. HardieTrim is available with ColorPlus Technology for a factory-finished, fade-resistant color that ties the entire exterior together. It won’t rot, won’t warp, and holds paint far longer than wood trim — making it the natural finishing touch for any James Hardie siding project.
INSTALLATION QUALITY IS EVERYTHING WITH JAMES HARDIE
Fiber cement is heavier and more demanding to install than vinyl. Improper installation can void your warranty and compromise the siding’s performance.
At Moss Roofing, we follow James Hardie’s installation best practices on every project — correct fasteners, proper clearances, and the right techniques for Indiana’s climate.
You get the full protection the product is designed to provide.
What Makes James Hardie Stand Out?
Engineered for Indiana’s Climate
James Hardie’s HardieZone system is one of the most important things that separates their products from every other siding on the market. Rather than selling a one-size-fits-all product, James Hardie engineers their siding for the specific climate conditions of each region. Indianapolis falls within HardieZone 5, a designation for climates that experience cold temperatures, freeze-thaw cycles, heavy moisture, and significant seasonal swings. HZ5 products are specifically formulated to resist prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures and moisture, which means your siding is built for Indiana from the ground up, not just installed here.
Built to Withstand Whatever Indiana Throws at It
James Hardie fiber cement siding is not combustible — it won’t catch fire when exposed to direct flame and won’t contribute fuel to a fire. It’s resistant to damage from hail and high winds. It won’t rot from moisture or warp from heat and humidity. It’s completely immune to termites and other wood-boring insects. And unlike vinyl, it won’t crack in freezing temperatures or buckle in summer heat. For Indiana homeowners who deal with the full range of seasonal conditions — from January ice storms to July heat waves, fiber cement is simply the most resilient siding material available at any price point.
ColorPlus Technology That Holds Its Finish
James Hardie’s ColorPlus Technology is a factory-applied color system that goes far beyond a standard paint job. Multiple coats of a specially formulated finish are applied and cured in a controlled environment, creating a bond with the fiber cement that is stronger and more consistent than any field-applied paint. The result is a color finish that resists fading, peeling, cracking, and chipping for years longer than traditional paint — and it comes backed by a fifteen-year limited warranty covering both paint and labor. ColorPlus Technology is available across the full James Hardie product lineup and in a wide range of colors designed to complement any home exterior.
