If you love the classic look of painted wood siding but hate the idea of scraping, repainting, and chasing rot every few years, fiber cement might be exactly what you're looking for. We bring our James Hardie fiber cement siding service to Mount Holly, NC, and communities like Charlotte, Huntersville, Cornelius, and Davidson, giving homeowners a tough, great-looking exterior that stands up to humidity, pests, and years of Carolina weather.
Founded in May 2022 by Brandon Walls, Walls Roofing and Siding is a residential exterior contractor based in Mount Holly, NC, that provides roofing, siding, and gutter services across Charlotte, Gaston County, and the communities around Lake Norman. James Hardie is one of the company's featured siding brands, and its crew installs James Hardie fiber cement siding and trim for full-home siding replacement and exterior upgrades. Every James Hardie project follows the manufacturer's installation requirements for clearances, flashing, fastening, and finishing, and the company backs its work with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Around here, a lot of siding trouble starts with water. You might see paint that peels no matter how often you touch it up, wood boards that swell or split, or dark stains running down from the corners of your windows. Woodpecker holes, termite damage, and warped boards that pull away from the house are other common complaints from homeowners who call us about fiber cement.
Wood and older composite sidings soak up moisture like a sponge in our humid climate, especially on shaded walls that never fully dry out. That trapped moisture leads to swelling, rot, and paint failure, and it gives insects an easy target. Poorly flashed windows, doors, and rooflines make things worse by funneling rain behind the siding, where it can quietly damage sheathing and framing for years before you see the signs inside.
After a free estimate, our crew removes the old siding and takes a close look at the wall sheathing underneath, repairing any damaged areas before moving forward. We wrap the home in a weather-resistant barrier, flash every window, door, and wall-to-roof transition, and install your James Hardie siding with the fasteners, spacing, and ground and roofline clearances the manufacturer requires. We also seal cut edges, treat joints the right way, and finish trim and soffit details cleanly so the whole exterior works together to shed water.
You get the rich, wood-like character you wanted without the constant repainting and repairs. Your walls stay drier, pests have nothing to chew on, and your home carries a sharp, upscale look that holds up for decades. Because the installation follows James Hardie's guidelines, you'll also have the manufacturer's warranty working in your favor alongside our own.
James Hardie is one of the best-known names in fiber cement siding, and the material comes with some serious perks.
James Hardie siding is made from a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers. That combination creates a dense, sturdy board that won't rot, warp, or attract termites and woodpeckers the way wood can.
Humid summers and heavy rain are part of life in the Carolinas. Fiber cement resists moisture far better than wood or older hardboard siding, which helps prevent swelling, rot, and mold.
Fiber cement holds up well against strong winds, flying debris, and everyday wear. It's also noncombustible, which gives your home an added layer of fire resistance.
James Hardie offers lap siding, shingle-style siding, and vertical panels with realistic wood-grain or smooth textures. Many of its products come with a factory-applied ColorPlus finish that resists fading, chipping, and peeling.
James Hardie has specific rules for clearances, flashing, fasteners, and cut edges, and following them protects both the siding's performance and its warranty. Our team takes those requirements seriously on every job.
Fiber cement is one of several materials we install, and each option has its own strengths.
For a budget-friendly exterior with tons of color choices, our vinyl siding installation & replacement service is a great place to start. Vinyl needs almost no upkeep and still looks sharp for years.
Our metal siding installation & replacement service offers a modern, extremely durable option for homes, accent walls, and detached buildings. It's built for a long service life with very little maintenance.
Take a look at all of our siding services, including vinyl, James Hardie, and metal siding, along with soffit and fascia work. We'll help you narrow down the right material for your home.
Fiber cement is heavier and more demanding to install than vinyl, so experience and patience go a long way.
Our company calls Mount Holly home, and we serve neighbors from Charlotte to Kings Mountain. When you hire us, you're working with a local team that cares about its reputation in the community.
Every James Hardie project meets local building codes along with the manufacturer's standards. Brandon's particular about the small stuff, so nothing gets rushed or overlooked.
Cutting fiber cement creates dust, so our crew sets up thoughtfully, protects your landscaping, and cleans up at the end of each day. We want your yard to look just as good as your new siding.
You'll get a free estimate and a straightforward walkthrough of your options before we begin. There's never any pressure to decide on the spot.
James Hardie backs its products, and we back our installation with a 5-year workmanship warranty. Between the two, your new siding has plenty of protection.
Very well. Fiber cement resists moisture, rot, and mold much better than wood, which makes it a smart choice for shaded lots and humid neighborhoods throughout Gaston County.
In our climate, James Hardie siding can last 30 to 50 years or more with proper installation and occasional maintenance. It also comes with a long-term manufacturer's warranty when it's installed according to James Hardie's requirements.
Many James Hardie products come prefinished with a baked-on ColorPlus finish, so you won't need to paint after installation. Primed boards are available, too, if you want a custom color, and fiber cement holds paint much longer than wood.
It's a great fit. Fiber cement can recreate the look of traditional wood lap siding, which suits older and historic-style homes in towns like Davidson and Huntersville. If your neighborhood has HOA or historic design guidelines, it's worth checking them before you choose a style.
Fiber cement stands up to wind and hail better than many other siding materials, but a falling limb or severe hail can still crack a board. Our team fixes storm-damaged boards and helps document the damage for your insurance claim.
