Certifications
James Hardie™ ALLIANCE, Elite tier
The top tier of the James Hardie™ ALLIANCE. Every benefit James Hardie publishes for it is a business benefit: a rewards points multiplier, leads, and a better listing in its directory. It confers no additional product warranty on your siding. James Hardie also states that its listed installation contractors are not affiliated with it and that you hire one directly and at your own risk. We list this because it is true, not because it changes your coverage.
