Premium Siding Solutions for Florida Homes

Protect your home from Florida’s harsh elements with fiber cement siding installed by certified James Hardie preferred contractors with builder-level knowledge.

Is Your Home Protected Against Florida's Climate?

As certified James Hardie preferred contractors, we expertly install the world’s #1 fiber cement siding, specifically engineered for Florida’s unique climate zone:

Florida’s unique climate creates specific challenges for your home’s exterior. Intense UV exposure, salt air, high humidity, and heavy rainfall can quickly damage ordinary siding, leading to moisture intrusion, pest infestation, and costly repairs.

Many Florida homeowners struggle with siding that:

  • Warps, cracks, or fades from extreme sun exposure
  • Becomes brittle or damaged from salt air exposure
  • Allows moisture intrusion that leads to mold and rot
  • Requires constant maintenance and repainting
  • Fails to provide adequate insulation against heat

At A&E Remodeling, we’ve been protecting Florida homes since 1995 as a preferred James Hardie contractor. Our expertise with fiber cement siding products from James Hardie, Nichiha, Allura, and LP Building Solutions means we can recommend the perfect solution for your specific home and budget.

We also install fiber cement siding from other trusted manufacturers including:

  • Nichiha Fiber Cement: Architectural textures with distinctive appearance
  • Allura Fiber Cement: Durable, low-maintenance options with authentic wood look
  • LP Building Solutions: Engineered for performance in our challenging climate

Each fiber cement option offers superior performance compared to traditional materials, with our experts helping you select the best solution for your specific needs and budget.

    Why Expert Installation Matters

    Even the best siding products will fail without proper installation. As building contractors, we bring comprehensive structural knowledge to your siding project—something ordinary installers simply can’t match.

    Our installation process includes:

    1. Thorough Inspection: Identifying and addressing underlying issues before installation
    2. Proper Preparation: Removing old siding and repairing any damaged areas
    3. Moisture Management: Installing proper flashing and water barriers
    4. Precision Cutting: Ensuring perfect fits around windows, doors, and architectural features
    5. Expert Finishing: Meticulous attention to trim, caulking, and final details

    This builder-level approach ensures your siding not only looks beautiful but provides complete protection for your home’s structure.

    Is It Time to Replace Your Siding?

    Florida’s harsh climate can accelerate siding deterioration. Watch for these warning signs that indicate your home may need new siding:

    1. Visible Damage: Cracks, gaps, or holes in existing siding
    2. Warping or Buckling: Panels that no longer lay flat against your home
    3. Fading Color: Significant discoloration or uneven appearance
    4. Increased Energy Bills: Poor insulation allowing heat transfer
    5. Interior Moisture Issues: Water stains or mold on interior walls
    6. Frequent Maintenance: Constant need for repairs or repainting
    7. Pest Intrusion: Evidence of insects behind or within siding
    8. Rotting or Deterioration: Sections that are soft or crumbling

    If you notice any of these issues, contact A&E Remodeling for a free assessment. Early intervention can prevent more extensive damage to your home’s structure.

    After getting quotes from several contractors including Morgan Exteriors, we chose A&E Remodeling for their specialized knowledge and transparent approach. They didn't require both homeowners to be present for the consultation (which was convenient for our busy schedule), and their project manager kept us informed every step of the way. The new gutters and fascia look perfect and were completed on schedule.
