Forge Siding brings manufacturer-certified fiber cement installation to San Antonio, TX homeowners who understand that the product's performance ceiling depends entirely on how it was installed.
Not every crew offering Fiber Cement Siding in San Antonio, TX has the manufacturer certifications and documented track record to back the claim. Here's what separates our team.
Preferred Contractor status means your 30-year material warranty is fully in force. We submit installation documentation to the manufacturer at project completion.
Every cut edge is back-primed with alkyd primer within 30 minutes of cutting β not at end of day. Unprimed cut edges are the most common moisture entry point on fiber cement installations.
Nail type, length, spacing, and penetration depth logged per manufacturer requirements. The fastener log is included in your close-out package for warranty documentation.
All cutting at a dedicated outdoor station away from HVAC intakes. P100 respirators worn during all cutting operations. We follow OSHA silica exposure guidelines on every project.
Every service below is executed by our own licensed San Antonio, TX crew β not passed to a subcontractor network. Certified installers, manufacturer-grade tools, and written scope on every project.
Smooth, wood-grain, and rough-sawn profiles installed to James Hardie's prescriptive requirements: correct grade clearances, approved fastener type and schedule, joint flashing at horizontal butt joints, back-primed field cuts.
Large-format vertical panels require correctly located blocking behind every seam and Z-flashing at all horizontal transitions. We specify and install the blocking schedule before any panels go on.
Individual shingle panels fastened at the exact manufacturer-specified nailhead position, backed with secondary water-resistive layer at every course break. Done correctly, these accent zones transform gable ends.
Factory-applied finish lasts significantly longer than field paint and carries its own warranty. We handle factory-painted material carefully β no face nailing, correct storage, edge sealing at every field cut.
Complete tear-off, substrate repair, housewrap replacement, and new fiber cement system. Silica controls throughout. Full fastener documentation at project close.
HardieTrim resists the moisture-driven cupping and rot that eventually affects wood trim at ground level and roof junctions. Integrated with wall panels at correct grade clearance and back-primed at every cut.
Our San Antonio, TX team follows the same documented process on every project β so you always know what comes next.
We evaluate substrate flatness, existing moisture content, wall height, and sun exposure to specify the correct panel thickness, fastener schedule, and trim system for your San Antonio, TX property.
Fiber cement ordered by exact linear footage with waste factor. Material stored flat and covered on-site β standing panels on edge before installation creates stress fractures at butt joints.
Field cutting at a dedicated outdoor station with silica controls active. All cut edges back-primed with alkyd primer within 30 minutes of cutting before any panel moves to the wall.
Fastener log submitted to manufacturer at project close. Material warranty registered in your name under the Preferred Contractor program. Full close-out package delivered at final walkthrough.
The back-priming process β the installer showed me exactly what he was doing and why. Four years later, the paint on every panel face is still factory-perfect. That installation discipline determines performance at year 10 and 20.
The HardieTrim integration at windows, corners, and the roofline is exact. No caulk bridging poor fits, no compressed joints. The transitions read as intentional design rather than installation patch-work.
ColorPlus factory finish β the material handling before install was careful. Every panel stored flat, no face damage, edge sealing at every field cut. Two summers later and it looks exactly as it did on day one.
