Do you know if you can put Hardie siding over existing painted T1-11? I'm in California (fire Country) I would like to apply fire resistant barrier first. Will the wall still breathe? Thanks for any advice.
Hey there! Thanks for your question! 😊 You can generally install Hardie siding over existing T1-11, but it’s crucial to ensure the T1-11 is in good condition and properly fastened. I recommend working with a professional to assess the condition of your T1-11 and ensure it’s suitable for re-siding. Applying a fire-resistant barrier is a great idea, especially in fire-prone areas like California. James Hardie siding, along with the proper fire-resistant barrier, can enhance your home’s fire protection. Regarding breathability, a weather barrier designed to prevent water penetration while allowing moisture to escape is key. This will ensure your wall can still breathe and help avoid mold and rot. If you have more questions or need specific advice, feel free to ask! 🏠
@@TheHomeSolutionsChannel Siding is in good shape, water tight and nailed on securely. I would like to ask you if you can recommend a quality fire rated underlayment and if you know what Hardie makes in the way of trim. I am planning on removing existing 1x4 and replacing with a thicker material. Thanks, Don
@@donsmith9081 Hi Don! Great to hear your siding is in good shape! For a quality fire-rated underlayment, I recommend products like CertainTeed's Fire Resistant Barrier or Dupont's Tyvek FireCurb. Both are excellent options for enhancing fire resistance while ensuring breathability. As for James Hardie trim options, they offer a variety of choices, including HardieTrim boards. These come in different thicknesses and widths to suit your needs. For replacing your 1x4 trim with a thicker material, HardieTrim 5/4 boards (which are about 1 inch thick) would be a solid option, providing both durability and a nice aesthetic upgrade. If you have any more questions or need further advice, feel free to ask. Good luck with your project, Don! 👍😊
Most homes don’t require a siding tear off. I guess if you are renovating an abandoned home in woods. If your existing siding is mush, you might have bigger problems than siding replacement.
Thanks for your comment! You bring up a good point-whether or not a siding tear-off is required depends on the condition of the existing siding. If it’s still in good shape, a full tear-off might not be necessary, which can save time and money. However, if the siding is severely damaged or deteriorated (like being "mush"), it’s often a sign of deeper issues, such as water damage or structural problems, that need to be addressed before installing new siding. At Southwest Exteriors, we always recommend a thorough inspection to determine the best course of action for each home. It’s all about ensuring the new siding performs well and lasts as long as it should. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask-we’re here to help!
I couldn’t hear a word this guy said because I was completely distracted by those curtains.
