colors & styles

James Hardie siding colors & styles

Choosing James Hardie siding colors is one of the most exciting parts of a siding project. Every plank, panel, and shingle is finished with ColorPlus® Technology — a baked-on, fade-resistant finish available in more than 25 hardie siding colors across the Statement Collection™ and Dream Collection™. Below are the styles and colors we install most across Massachusetts, shown on our real projects.

HardiePlank lap siding colors

The classic lap-board look for New England homes. The James Hardie plank siding colors we install most include Deep Ocean — shown on this Arlington home — plus Arctic White, Pearl Gray, and Navajo Beige.

James Hardie shake siding

Hardie shake siding recreates cedar-shingle charm in durable fiber cement, in staggered or straight-edge styles. This Milton shingle-style home features HardieShingle® siding in Cobblestone with crisp white trim.

Board & batten siding colors

Vertical board and batten adds modern character. This Southborough home pairs HardiePanel and HardieTrim battens in crisp Arctic White — and darker James Hardie board siding colors like Timber Bark and Iron Gray are just as striking in this style.

Statement Collection™ colors

James Hardie’s core palette of ready-to-install hardie board siding colors — dependable favorites like Aged Pewter, shown on this Chelmsford Cape, plus Pearl Gray, Navajo Beige, and Arctic White.

Dream Collection™ colors

A made-to-order palette of 700+ bolder shades for homeowners who want their home to stand out — like the Mesa Green on our Belmont project shown here, or Deep Ocean and Awning Blue on the North Shore.

Trim, fascia & soffit colors

The right contrast makes a siding color sing. We pair ColorPlus® siding with HardieTrim® boards, PVC trim, fascia, and soffit — crisp Arctic White for classic looks, or bold dark trim like this Marblehead storefront in Deep Ocean.

We had a great experience with Plum Pro overall. Yuk was very professional and well-organized while working with us on a proposal and contract to fix our deck after it was severely damaged by a fallen tree. He set us up with an accelerated timeline to help us coordinate this project with some of our other repairs, and aside from some weather delays stuck to it pretty well overall.

Yuk and his team did a wonderful job with our siding, roof and windows. From the very first meeting through the whole project, Yuk and his team have been caring, professional, and respectful. The communication and transparency were outstanding, reflecting their confidence in the quality of their work and their respect for their clients.

The best contractor I’ve worked with on any project. Excellent communication throughout the whole process, took time to answer any questions or concerns, and the crew was great. They kept the work site very clean every day. We’re very happy with the results and with the whole process. Highly recommend.

We could not have asked for a better team than Plum ProExteriors for our siding and window project. From start to finish, the process went smoothly. At our initial meeting, Yuk did a great job of explaining all of the different options available for our project. He then provided us with a very detailed estimate that gave us the confidence that there would not be any hidden/surprise costs/fees, which there were not. Once the contract was signed, Yuk did a great job of communicating when the project would start.

Yuk and the crew at Plum ProExteriors did an excellent job installing 7 Pella Architectural double-hung windows in my 1911 Dutch Colonial. Prior to providing a proposal, Yuk measured not once but twice to ensure the windows fit perfectly. Two of three windows were part of a bay window where the frames were no longer perfectly square. None the less, the crew got the windows to fit without issue. They finished with caulking any gaps inside and out for all the windows and finished the job in one day. The crew was clean and neat and even took away the old storm window frames. I already have received compliments on how well the windows look. Their price was fair and I would definitely hire Plum ProExteriors again. Thanks guys!

Yuk is definitely an A+. I felt very comfortable with him and trusted throughout the entire process. We ran into a few issues along the way and that’s to be expected, but Yuk was always available and made good on his promises. If I had to criticize one thing it would be that he doesn’t have a great carpenter for interior finish work, but in fairness he did make me aware that this was not something his crew normally does. Love the end product and the neighbors do too!

We have a full house of windows to replace and we are so happy we found Yuk thanks to a recommendation on a local Facebook group. Yuk quoted the entire job and was transparent in his pricing. Yuk was patient walking us through the process and updating quotes when we decided to start only with the largest and least efficient windows.

I hired Plum ProExteriors based on the quality of work I saw when I came across a renovation project they were doing in the area. I had roof, windows, doors, siding and decking done.I was very impressed with the depth of knowledge Yuk has in his trade. Communication was excellent. He kept me updated on the progress when I wasn’t there. Yuk and his crew worked efficiently and more importantly the quality of work was exceptional.

Frequently asked questions

What is the downside of James Hardie siding?

The major drawback is the initial cost. James Hardie siding costs more than composite or vinyl alternatives, and installation requires trained laborers. It weighs more, as well, so it adds slightly to the expense of labor.

What is the lifespan of Hardie board siding?

James Hardie siding lasts 30 to 50 years or longer if properly installed and cared for. It’s fire, rot, pest, and weather-resistant, and it’s among the longest-lived siding materials available.

What was the main problem with fiber cement board siding?

Previous generations of fiber cement siding used to be prone to water absorption, leading to warping, cracking, or delamination. Today’s brands like James Hardie have put an end to these issues through better formulation and production process.

Does a Hardie Board need to be painted?

Yes, but only every 10–15 years if you opt for the pre-primed choice. James Hardie, however, also has ColorPlus® Technology, which is a factory-applied, baked-on coating that won’t fade and never needs to be repainted for dozens of years.

Does a Hardie board increase the value of a home?

Yes. Hardie board siding is a high-end, durable siding that boosts curb appeal and provides excellent returns on investment of any exterior upgrade — fiber cement siding replacement recoups a national average of 80–90% of the project cost at resale. It attracts buyers, especially in extreme climate locations.

What colors does James Hardie siding come in?

James Hardie siding comes in more than 25 ColorPlus® Technology colors across the Statement Collection™ and Dream Collection™ — from soft neutrals like Navajo Beige and Pearl Gray to bold shades like Iron Gray, Deep Ocean, and Mesa Green. The color is baked onto the boards in the factory, so it resists fading and chipping far longer than field-applied paint.

What is the most popular James Hardie siding color in Massachusetts?

Gray tones lead in Massachusetts — Iron Gray and Pearl Gray are the James Hardie siding colors our customers request most, followed by warm neutrals like Navajo Beige. Coastal and historic towns also favor blues such as Deep Ocean and Awning Blue from the Dream Collection.
