Your Ballwin home deserves siding that outlives the next hailstorm and holds its color for a decade and a half. Call today and we will walk your elevations, show you real HardiePlank samples, and hand you a written quote inside the week.
Your 1970s ranch or split-level near Vlasis Park has probably worn its original hardboard or Masonite-style siding for four decades, and it shows — swollen edges, chalky paint, and soft spots where hail chewed through the face last spring. James Hardie siding in Ballwin fixes that cycle for good with a fiber cement plank engineered for humid Missouri summers, sub-zero January nights, and the hail that keeps rolling down the Manchester Road corridor. Top Quality Exteriors installs it as an official James Hardie Alliance Program Member.
Hardie boards resist rot, termites, and the 4.50-inch grapefruit hail that has hit near Ballwin in past storms, and they carry a 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty backed by a ColorPlus factory-baked finish. We wrap every job with rigid house wrap, corrosion-resistant nails, and a HardieTrim detail package that pulls the ranch profiles up to current curb standards. Homeowners upgrading from tired hardboard often bundle Hardie with siding installation in Ballwin on gable ends and dormers to keep the material lines clean.
HardiePlank lap siding is a Portland cement, sand, cellulose fiber, and water composite pressed under heat into 12-foot boards that weigh roughly 2.3 pounds per square foot — nine times heavier than vinyl and dimensionally stable across freeze-thaw swings that split hardboard every winter in Claymont and Seven Trails. We install the HZ5 formulation engineered for the wet, freeze-prone climate zone covering all of western St. Louis County, using blind-nailed 6d hot-dipped galvanized fasteners into studs 16 inches on center. Every course rests on a starter strip with a 1-1/4 inch overlap, kick-out flashing at every roof-to-wall termination, and caulked butt joints using paintable urethane. On tear-off jobs we replace sheathing where hardboard pulled water into the OSB, install a 60-minute drainable house wrap, then run HardieTrim 5/4 stock at corners, windows, and rakes. Pair that with fiber cement siding in Ballwin knowledge, and the elevation reads brand new.
We keep every Hardie install in Ballwin moving through the same five checkpoints so you know what happens next, when it happens, and who is standing on your driveway. Nothing slips between the first walk-through and the final magnet sweep.
I meet you at the house and walk every elevation to log siding, damage, and trim. I photo swollen boards, soft spots, and flashing gaps. You get a written quote within a week.
We bring the full ColorPlus deck and Statement samples to your Ballwin home so paint chips read true in daylight. HOAs like Claymont need approval, and we file that on your behalf.
Ballwin routes exterior permits through St. Louis County, and we pull the paperwork so you never wait at a counter. Materials show up Monday, and ground protection goes down first.
Old hardboard comes off in sections so sheathing never sits exposed. We swap any rotten OSB, wrap the walls, and blind-nail HardiePlank on 16-inch centers with hot-dipped nails.
We caulk each butt joint, touch up field cuts with ColorPlus paint, and pick up nails with a rolling magnet across the yard. You walk the whole house with me before we load out.
Top Quality Exteriors is a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, and that badge means our lead installers train inside Hardie’s own program on the HZ5 climate spec, the fastener schedule, and the flashing details that make the 30-year non-prorated warranty stick. On every Ballwin re-side we run the same jobsite protocol — scaffold set, tarp perimeter, dust barriers on windows — so your driveway and lawn look the same Friday as they did Monday.
Owner Mario A. Granados runs every siding job through a mid-project quality check, and our 52-plus person team carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance in both Missouri and Illinois. We are BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and every install carries our firm 36-month workmanship warranty on top of Hardie coverage. Homeowners layering LP SmartSide siding in Ballwin onto outbuildings or detached garages get one contract and one schedule.
A full HardiePlank re-side on a typical Ballwin ranch or split-level runs nine to thirteen dollars per installed square foot, which puts most 1,500 to 2,200 square-foot elevations in the twenty-two to thirty-eight thousand dollar range once trim, wrap, sheathing repairs, and disposal are included. That is a premium over vinyl, but it lands where the 1976-median housing stock recovers value at resale, and Hardie’s 30-year warranty carries with the deed.
Insurance often covers a big share when hail damage triggers the claim, and Ballwin’s April 1, 2024 storm alone hit roughly 1,527 properties, so many neighbors on your street are already inside the claim window. We accept Hearth and GreenSky financing with fixed monthly terms for qualified homeowners, and we itemize every line so nothing gets buried in a subtotal. Free written estimates, no charge for storm inspections, and no pressure to sign the day we visit.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
