Built to Last: Why Evergreen Homes Uses James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding in Every Home

At Evergreen Homes, we know your new home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. That’s why we carefully select every material that goes into our new construction communities—prioritizing not just beauty, but also long-term performance. One of the most important choices we’ve made for our homes is James Hardie® fiber cement siding, trusted by over 10 million homeowners across the country.

From The Reserve at Crystal Lake in Commerce to Meadows of Cherry Hill in Canton, every Evergreen home comes standard with James Hardie siding, giving you peace of mind that your investment is built on quality.

What Is James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding?

Fiber cement siding is different from traditional materials like vinyl or wood. It’s made from a unique blend of cement, sand, and cellulose fibers, creating a siding that:

• Withstands tough climates — resistant to rot, moisture, and freezing temps
• Doesn’t warp or melt — unlike vinyl in extreme heat or cold
• Is non-combustible — offering extra protection from fire
• Keeps its color — thanks to James Hardie’s advanced baked-on finish

The Evergreen Difference: Why We Build With James Hardie

From the moment you walk up to our model home, you can feel the difference in the materials. Here’s why we choose James Hardie for the homes we build:

• Durability You Can Count On
  Cement board siding stands up to harsh weather, insects, and fire better than wood or vinyl. That means peace of mind for you and protection for your home’s exterior.
• Color That Lasts
  James Hardie’s ColorPlus® Technology ensures vibrant, fade-resistant finishes. You’ll enjoy your chosen color scheme for years to come, with less maintenance and repainting.
• Design Flexibility
  With a variety of textures and styles, Hardie siding complements the unique architecture of every Evergreen home. Whether your style is modern farmhouse or classic craftsman, we can achieve the look you love. 
  
• Smart Investment
  Choosing a home with fiber cement siding can increase your resale value and reduce long-term upkeep—making it a smart move for today and tomorrow.
