James Hardie Color Plus Technology
The only factory-finished siding with a 15-year color warranty. No repainting for over a decade. Available in 15 Colors locally in Idaho.
Color Plus vs. field-painted siding
Not all siding finishes are equal. Here's why factory-applied color outperforms field painting every time.
Field-painted siding
- Painted on-site in variable conditions
- Cut ends left exposed to moisture
- Fades within 5–7 years
- Requires repainting every 7–10 years ($8k–$15k)
- Paint can peel, chip, and crack
- No manufacturer paint warranty
James Hardie Color Plus
- Factory-baked in controlled environment
- All edges factory-sealed and primed
- Fade-resistant pigments for 15+ years
- No repainting for 15+ years (saves thousands)
- Chipping, peeling, and cracking resistant
- 15-year manufacturer color warranty
Why we exclusively install Color Plus
Every advantage below is a direct result of the factory-applied process, impossible to replicate in the field. Learn more in James Hardie Color Plus technology explained.
Factory-Baked Color
Color Plus finish is applied and cured in a controlled factory environment, not sprayed on a job site. This produces a uniform, defect-free finish impossible to replicate in the field.
15-Year Color Warranty
The Color Plus finish is guaranteed against peeling, chipping, cracking, and fading for 15 years. No other siding product comes close to this level of finish protection.
Sealed Edges
Unlike field-painted siding where cut ends are left exposed, Color Plus products have factory-primed and sealed edges, preventing moisture penetration at the most vulnerable points.
No Repainting for 15+ Years
The average Idaho homeowner would spend $8,000–$15,000 repainting a house twice over 15 years. Color Plus eliminates that cost entirely.
UV Fade Resistance
Idaho's high-altitude sun is brutal on exterior paint. Color Plus uses fade-resistant pigments that maintain their color even after years of intense UV exposure.

We stock 18 of the most popular Color Plus colors locally in Idaho for faster project starts. From classic whites to bold statement colors.

I've had great service from Aaron and the crew from Direct Siding and would definitely recommend them. After a great deal of frustration with my previous contractor and a few dead ends trying to find someone else, I fortunately found Direct Siding.

We have a relatively large home, Aaron and his crew gave us a great price and accomplished it much faster than anticipated. Aaron was very patient on the last few 'punch out' items we pointed out.

This company is PHENOMENAL to say the least, should be 10 gold stars! They arrived as scheduled & set up & got right to work immediately yesterday morning Sept 19, 2024, & were completely done by late afternoon. Half the crew sided one side while the other half sided the other side.

Thank you, Aaron, Scott, Maria, and the Direct Siding Team. The James Hardie fiber-cement siding was ordered and the project started on time. The installation was professional, on time and on budget. I am very happy to recommend Direct Siding.

We had a house from the 90s with brittle, oxidizing vinyl and lots of rotting fascia and trim. I'd been putting off a siding replacement for years. After getting a couple bids, we went with Direct Siding which was a lower estimate, but more importantly, they seemed knowledgeable and professional.
