James Hardie Elite Preferred contractors provide two warranty layers — one from the manufacturer, one from the installation team. Not all contractors offer both.
What Warranty Coverage You Should Expect
- 30-Year Nonprorated Material Warranty: James Hardie’s warranty covers the siding panels themselves and doesn’t diminish over time like prorated alternatives.
- 15-Year ColorPlus Finish Warranty: ColorPlus colors are protected 15 years against fading, chipping, and peeling — backed directly by James Hardie.
- Elite Preferred Status Unlocks Full Coverage: Only Elite Preferred contractors like Coastal Windows & Exteriors can activate the full manufacturer warranty. An uncertified installer can void your protection.
- Workmanship Warranty: Our team backs our installation — if anything is off on our end, we make it right.
- Transferable to New Owners: James Hardie’s warranty transfers at resale — a real advantage in Babson Park’s competitive market.
- Documentation Provided: We hand over all warranty paperwork at project completion for your records and future transactions.
