Siding
Exterior cladding with the right substrate beneath it.
James Hardie fiber cement, LP SmartSide engineered wood, and modern board-and-batten siding systems — installed over a proper weather barrier.
Overview
A premium standard, end to end.
Premium siding starts behind the cladding. Fortitude installs a proper rainscreen, house wrap, and flashing assembly before a single panel goes up — the part that determines whether your siding lasts 15 years or 50.
