Discover the Benefits of Hardie Siding

Hardie siding, also known as HardiePlank, is a high-performance wood siding product that offers exceptional protection against various elements. Crafted from cement-bound wood fibers, Hardie siding allows for customization in multiple colors and textures, seamlessly aligning with your home’s aesthetics. Its superior resistance to termites, fire, moisture, and decay makes Hardie siding a versatile choice suitable for Calgary’s climate. With a durable finish that resists flaking or blistering, Hardie siding can last up to 30 years with proper care.

Key advantages of choosing Hardie siding for your home include:

  1. Durability: Unlike other siding materials, such as vinyl or aluminum, Hardie siding maintains its strength across various weather conditions, preventing warping or cracking.

  2. Low Maintenance: Hardie siding requires minimal upkeep, saving you time and effort in the long run.

  3. Variety: With numerous color and texture options, you can find the perfect match for your home’s style.

  4. Easy Installation: Hardie siding is relatively simple to install compared to other siding materials, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.

  5. Value Addition: By enhancing your home’s curb appeal, Hardie siding significantly increases its resale value.

  6. Superior Protection: Hardie siding offers unparalleled defense against rain, sun damage, insects, mold growth, fire damage, and noise.

The non-porous surface of Hardie siding prevents water absorption, effectively averting moisture buildup within your walls. Its fiber cement board structure keeps pests at bay, while its fire resistance attributes provide an extra layer of safety for your family.

The Importance of Painting Hardie Siding

Painting Hardie siding is vital for preserving its longevity and maintaining your home’s aesthetic value. A fresh coat of paint not only protects the material from damage caused by moisture and insects but also enhances the overall appearance of your property. Painting Hardie siding helps shield against fading due to sun exposure, as well as dirt and debris accumulation.

Additionally, properly painted Hardie siding can significantly increase the resale value of your home. By making your siding more attractive with a professional paint job, you can attract potential buyers when the time comes to sell. To ensure a long-lasting finish that requires minimal upkeep, it is crucial to use high-quality paint and follow proper painting techniques.

The Process of Painting Hardie Siding

Before starting the painting process, proper surface preparation is essential. This involves cleaning the surface of any debris or dirt, filling in cracks or holes, and sanding down the surface to create a smooth foundation. Applying a primer to seal the siding before applying high-quality exterior paint is also crucial. Additional layers of paint can be applied for enhanced protection and personal preference.

When painting Hardie siding, it is important to use the correct tools specifically designed for this type of material. Adhering to safety measures, such as wearing protective gear and keeping children and animals away from the area during application, is also essential.

Choosing the Right Paint for Hardie Siding

Selecting the appropriate paint is crucial for preserving Hardie siding and ensuring its longevity. Opt for high-quality paint with superior UV protection to prevent fading from sun exposure. Look for paint with mold and mildew resistance to keep your siding looking clean and fresh. Acrylic latex paint is recommended for Hardie siding due to its superior adhesion and flexibility.

The right choice of color can also have a significant impact on your home’s overall look. Earls Paintworks can provide guidance in selecting the perfect shade to create a warm and inviting atmosphere or give your home a contemporary upgrade based on your preferences. Certain colors may even increase the resale value of your home, depending on current trends in the market.

We hired Earl and his crew to paint the baseboards & walls of our basement. He is very good at answering emails and texts. Also is punctual when meeting for quotes and doing the work. I specifically wanted our baseboards lacquered and NOT brush or roller painted. It cost more, but the results speak for themselves. The basement was left clean and the furniture well covered. Great work from this company. Would recommend

Recently Earl painted the exterior of our house. The structure was very challenging and needed an enormous amount of prep work. Earl and his crew showed up every day on time and went full tilt for 4 days to get all the prep and painting done. The paint was all brushed and rolled.They were very professional and it was obvious that they take pride in their work.I did have trouble deciding on the colours and after a couple of stressful months, I followed up with a colour consultant that Earl recommended. It was money well spent and we are very pleased with how it turned out.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl and his crew.

Earl and his team helped me dramatically improve the interior of a recently purchased 1960 Bungalow. They prepped and painted the main level completely (ceiling, walls, windows, door jams, etc.) and did some painting in basement as well. Easy to work with from the start to finish. Great job, on time, and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Earl’s Paintworks. I will most likely be using their services again soon!

Earl is the best in the business! We hired Earl to paint the exterior of our 106 year-old heritage home that was in disrepair. Our house is a craftsman bungalow that required highly detailed workmanship. Because of the uniqueness of the house, and its heritage value, we were nervous to hire the job out to just anyone. We met with a number of companies and Earl's Paintworks stood tall above the rest. We loved that Earl was an owner/operator and knew after talking to him that he'd take great care with our beloved home. We weren't wrong! Earl and Jeremy were meticulous - sanding every nook and cranny to ensure a perfect finish that would stand the test of time. We wanted a tri-colour scheme to show off the home's craftsmanship, which required a lot of taping, cutting, and intricate work. Our neighbours would stop by to compliment Earl and Jeremy - blown away by the precision and quality of their work. Both my fiancé and I were sad to see them leave. Earl and Jeremy had become fast friends, always making time to stop and visit with us (despite putting in long days of hard labour). Couldn't recommend them enough! If you are looking for a painter, do yourself a favour, and stop here.

We recently hired Earl's Paintworks to repaint the entire interior of a newly-purchased home and could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and exceptional service provided from start to finish. We were on a very tight timeline & Earl (the owner) and Jeremy showed up ready to work 30 minutes after we took possession of the house. They put in long hours to finish the job in only 8.5 days, despite the fact that it was a massive project (3 storey house with over 30 windows/doors to paint around and some 20ft ceilings). The care they took to cover our hardwood floors, carpeting and cabinetry was remarkable - not a drop of paint left anywhere it didn't belong.Earl was truly a pleasure to work with, responded to our questions in a timely & friendly fashion, and provided knowledgeable (and realistic) advice on different finishes and colour options. He even went above and beyond to point out some small repairs that needed to be addressed around the house which was helpful to us as new owners. We had 4 different companies quote on the job and chose Earl's Paintworks based on a gut feeling that Earl was the right choice. Very happy with our decision - so much so that we're hoping to have them back this summer to do the exterior of our house as well.We would recommend Earl's Paintworks to anyone without hesitation. If you're looking for a hardworking, locally-owned company to do an efficient, professional, super high quality job, this is it!

We wanted the interior and doors repainted in our home in preparation for selling. We obtained a couple of quotes from painters. We ended up choosing Earl due to our positive interactions with him.This is a small but very professional company. It was good to work with a smaller company where the person painting your home is the actual owner and therefore, someone who took full responsibility for the work. Earl was very helpful with colour suggestions. He was easy to communicate with via both emails, phone calls and text. Earl was a perfectionist. He finished our 2 level 2000 sq ft home in about 6 full days. He came a few weeks later to do the exterior doors (garage and entry) when the weather was warmer.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl's Paintworks.
