Yes — James Hardie siding comes with a 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty and a 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty. As a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor, Coastal Windows & Exteriors is a woman-owned exterior remodeling company serving 730+ towns across Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, with 7,000+ installations completed since 2011 and factory-finished fiber cement installs that keep that manufacturer coverage intact.

That coverage is one of the strongest in the siding industry. When you hire James Hardie certified installers, the workmanship is also covered by the contractor’s separate installation warranty.

What Homeowners Need to Know:

30-year substrate warranty: James Hardie covers the fiber cement plank itself for 30 years, fully non-prorated, meaning no reduced payouts over time.
15-year ColorPlus finish warranty: Factory-baked color is covered separately against fade, chip, and peel for 15 years.
Transferable coverage: The warranty transfers to subsequent homeowners, which strengthens resale value.
Elite Preferred advantage: Working with James Hardie installers at the Elite Preferred level helps maximize warranty validity and claim support.
Workmanship coverage: Coastal Windows & Exteriors adds an installation warranty on top of the manufacturer’s coverage for full peace of mind.
