Most established James Hardie fiber cement installation contractors handle permits and old siding removal, though scope varies, so confirm it in writing.

We are a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor and the only woman-owned James Hardie President’s Club winner in New England.

What Homeowners Need to Know

Confirm the scope: Ask whether permits, tear-off, and disposal sit inside the contractor’s quote. Coastal walks through every detail during a free estimate.
Permits vary locally: Permit rules differ by city and town. Your contractor should confirm requirements before work starts.
Removal reveals issues: Taking off old siding lets the crew inspect the sheathing underneath. Ask how any rot found mid-project gets handled and priced.
Certified crews: Coastal is a James Hardie Elite Preferred and Alliance Elite Tier contractor. It is 1 of only 6 at that tier across New England.
Warranty backing: Every Hardie fiber cement board carries a 30-year non-prorated warranty. Proper installation by a certified crew protects that coverage.
