Answers
Hardie Plank Siding in Worcester — FAQ
It’s heavy, dense, and unforgiving. It needs specific blades and dust control to cut, correct blind-nailing, precise gapping at butt joints and trim, and proper clearances at roofs and grade. Done to spec it lasts decades; done fast it cracks at the fasteners.
