Your Olivette home deserves cladding that holds up to spring hail and freeze-thaw winters for decades, not seasons. Call Top Quality Exteriors at (314) 618-8888 for a free Hardie consultation and a written ColorPlus quote within 48 hours.
If you own a 1950s ranch off Olive Boulevard or a recent rebuild near Stacy Park, your exterior cladding has to handle Mid County’s full weather menu — spring hail, straight-line winds, hot humid summers, and freeze-thaw winters. At Top Quality Exteriors, we install James Hardie siding throughout Olivette as a long-term answer to the aging vinyl, aluminum, and Masonite still wrapping much of the 63132 housing stock. Fiber cement holds its color, shrugs off hail bruising, resists rot and termites, and outlasts the original cladding by decades.
We’re a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, so every panel goes up to the manufacturer’s spec — correct fastener pattern, proper flashing at penetrations, and finished trim that protects the cut ends. HardiePlank lap profiles match the ranch and Cape Cod lines that dominate the 63132 ZIP, while HardieShingle and HardiePanel work as accents on newer infill homes. If you’re weighing a re-clad against another patch job on aging vinyl, our siding installation in Olivette walkthrough shows the full scope, from tear-off to ColorPlus finish.
Most full-home James Hardie projects in Olivette run between $9 and $13 per installed square foot, which works out to roughly $14,000 to $26,000 for the typical mid-century ranch in the 63132 area. The variables that move the number are square footage, the number of corners and dormers, soffit and fascia condition, and whether the tear-off uncovers rotted sheathing under decades-old aluminum or Masonite. Expect a 5 to 10 day install window for an occupied home, weather permitting. We pull the Olivette building permit when one is required, set scaffolding to protect landscaping near the foundation beds, and re-flash every window and door so water can’t track behind the boards. The ColorPlus Technology finish carries a 15-year color warranty on top of the 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty, so the panels you install today still look right when the kids leave for college. For homeowners comparing options before committing, our fiber cement siding in Olivette page breaks down the broader category.
Re-siding a Mid County home is a real project, so we keep the steps clear from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. Here’s exactly how a James Hardie job moves through our crew, from your first inspection to the day we hand the keys back.
We meet you at the home, walk every wall, and photo the existing cladding. We note rot, soft spots, and any flashing gaps. Then we send a full written report within 48 to 72 hours.
You pick a ColorPlus shade and profile from Hardie sample boards we bring out. We hold them against your trim, roof, and brick for context. Then we lock the choice in writing.
We pull the Olivette building permit, stage material in the driveway, and tarp the beds. Old vinyl or aluminum comes off in clean sections. Then we check the sheathing for rot.
Our crew snaps chalk lines, sets a starter strip, and blind-nails HardiePlank to spec. Corners, windows, and doors get fresh flashing tape. Then trim and soffit close the wall.
We walk the home with you, checking every corner, joint, and finished reveal. We touch up any field cuts and clear the site clean. Then your 30-year Hardie paperwork is yours.
We’re a James Hardie Alliance Program Member, which means our crews have been trained on Hardie’s install standards and our jobs are tracked by the manufacturer. That status, paired with our BBB A+ accreditation and Missouri and Illinois licensing, gives Olivette homeowners a real paper trail to vet before signing. Founded in 2022 with over 7 years of industry experience behind the leadership, we’re not the storm-chaser crew that disappears after one cold front.
We pull the Olivette building permit on every job that needs one and welcome the city inspector — that’s not a hurdle, it’s the differentiator from out-of-town outfits that vanish after a hailstorm. Our 36-month workmanship warranty backs every panel we install, and Hardie’s 30-year non-prorated warranty backs the substrate itself. With 52+ team members on staff, we keep one crew on your home start to finish rather than handing it off mid-project.
Sticker price is the first question Olivette homeowners ask, and the honest answer is that James Hardie runs more than vinyl up front and less than full LP SmartSide on average. For a typical 1,800 to 2,200 square foot ranch in the 63132 ZIP, plan on $14,000 to $26,000 for a complete Hardie re-clad with ColorPlus, trim, and soffit. Vinyl on the same home runs about $9,000 to $15,000. The Hardie premium is real, but the lifespan and warranty math change the picture fast.
Hardie’s 30-year non-prorated substrate warranty and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty mean the panels you install in 2026 are still on warranty when the home is sold a generation later. Vinyl on the same wall typically needs replacement at the 20 to 25 year mark, and the colors fade noticeably after a decade in our hot, humid summers. We offer Hearth and GreenSky financing on the full Hardie scope so the project can fit a monthly budget instead of a lump sum.
Every credential we carry is a commitment to quality, safety, and your peace of mind — on every project, in every state we serve.
