How We Do Fiber Cement Siding
The installation of fiber cement siding requires specialized tools and a meticulous process to ensure its full benefits are realized. Our approach to fiber cement siding is systematic and focused on precision and long-term performance.
Consultation & Design Selection
Our journey begins with a thorough consultation where we listen to your ideas, understand your needs, and assess your current home's structure and property. We discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, helping you explore the possibilities, whether it's a second-story addition, a new family room, or an expanded kitchen. This initial phase is crucial for laying the groundwork for a successful project.
Consultation & Design Selection
We begin by discussing your vision for your new fiber cement siding. We'll show you a variety of design options, including horizontal lap siding, vertical board-and-batten, and shingles, as well as a wide range of colors and textures. Our consultation ensures you select the perfect fiber cement siding to match your home's architectural style and your personal taste.
Permitting & Site Preparation
Once the plan for your fiber cement siding is finalized, we handle all necessary permitting to ensure compliance with local building codes. We then prepare your property by protecting landscaping, windows, and decks from debris, ensuring a clean and safe environment for our fiber cement siding installation team.
Old Siding Removal & Wall Sheathing Prep
For a full replacement, we carefully remove your old siding. This allows us to inspect the underlying wall sheathing for any signs of rot or damage. We address any issues and install a new, high-performance house wrap, which is a critical step for a proper fiber cement siding installation.
Finishing Touches & Final Inspection
The final steps of our fiber cement siding process include sealing all joints and applying a final coat of paint or a sealant, if needed. We then perform a thorough cleanup of the site and a final inspection with you to ensure your new fiber cement siding looks perfect and meets all your expectations.

WOW!!! What a pleasure to work with this team! They provided a quote for some storm damage to our fascia and soffit and the time between us approving the quote to when the work was completed was two days. Brian was phenomenal between quoting, scheduling and inspecting the work. He kept us apprised of all events and delivered them on time! You need construction call Hempel.Posted on Google![]()

J Hempel installed a new roof and gutters on our home - we couldn't be happier with the result. Everyone was professional, easy to work with, and, most importantly, showed up when they said they would (not a given in today's world). The communication we received at all intervals of the process was amazing. Supervisors were there to check the progress of the work crews. This company wants your business and is willing to work for it.Posted on Google![]()
