I had a ProVia entry door installed and everything went great from start to finish, from consulting with Ryan on options, to delivery and install (quality of work was excellent). And price was super reasonable. If they can get the product you want, do not go with the big companies. Window and Siding Source is who you want.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is James Hardie fiber cement siding?
James Hardie siding is made from a blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers — engineered to be far more durable than vinyl or wood. It looks like traditional wood siding but resists rot, insects, fire, and moisture. It's the #1 siding brand in the U.S., used on over 10 million homes.
How long does James Hardie siding last?
James Hardie siding is rated for 50+ years when properly installed and maintained. The ColorPlus® factory-applied finish is designed to resist fading, peeling, and chipping for 15 years before it may need repainting — far longer than field-painted alternatives.
How much does James Hardie siding cost in St. Louis?
James Hardie fiber cement siding in the St. Louis area typically costs $8–$14 per square foot installed, depending on your home's size, complexity, and the product line chosen. It costs more than vinyl upfront, but the 50-year lifespan and low maintenance often make it the better value over time. We offer 5-year interest-free financing with no money down.
Is James Hardie siding worth it over vinyl?
For most homeowners, yes. Hardie siding is more durable (50+ years vs. 20–40 for vinyl), fire resistant, and holds its finish significantly longer. It also adds more to resale value. Vinyl is more affordable upfront, but Hardie is the better long-term investment for homeowners who want maximum protection and plan to stay in their home.
Does James Hardie siding hold up in St. Louis winters?
Yes. James Hardie produces region-specific formulations called Engineered for Climate®. The product specified for St. Louis and the Midwest is designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, and the wide temperature swings common in Missouri — without cracking, swelling, or warping.
What colors are available?
James Hardie offers ColorPlus® Technology in a wide range of colors — from neutral grays and creams to bold blues and greens. Colors are factory-applied at high temperatures, producing a finish far more durable than field-painted siding. Colors are available across all Hardie product lines including HardiePlank®, HardieShingle®, and HardiePanel®.
How long does siding installation take?
A typical single-family home takes 3–7 days for a full siding replacement with James Hardie, depending on the size and complexity of the exterior. We'll give you a specific timeline during your free in-home estimate.
Does James Hardie siding increase home value?
Yes. Fiber cement siding consistently ranks among the top home improvements for resale value. According to Remodeling magazine's Cost vs. Value report, fiber cement siding replacement recouped approximately 76% of its cost at resale nationally — among the highest of any exterior upgrade.

These guys installed new, energy efficient windows on my home this Spring. I couldn't be happier!! Had a small issue with one of the windows that left them and myself puzzled, but in no time they ordered a new sash from the manufacturer and fixed the issue. I am so pleased and will recommend these guys to everyone! Ryan, thanks for your patience with me too! LOVE my new windows!
Ryan and his team did outstanding work. Highly recommend The Window and Siding Source for any home exterior project.
