Common Siding Issues in Extreme Temperature Climates (and How to Fix Them)

    Living in Arizona means dealing with some of the toughest weather in the country. With blistering summer heat, sudden monsoon rains, and drastic temperature swings, siding takes a beating year after year. At Weather Tite Roofing and Construction, we know the unique challenges Arizona homeowners face—and we recommend James Hardie siding for durable, lasting protection. Here are the most common siding issues in extreme climates like ours, and how to fix them.

    1. Warping and Melting Vinyl

    Arizona’s summer temperatures often soar well above 110°F. Vinyl siding can warp, buckle, or even melt under extreme heat. The solution? James Hardie fiber cement siding is designed to resist high heat and remain stable, even in scorching weather.

    2. Fading and Sun Damage

    UV rays fade paint and weaken materials over time. James Hardie siding comes with baked-on ColorPlus® Technology, which resists fading and keeps your home looking sharp for years.

    3. Cracking from Temperature Swings

    When desert nights cool off after hot days, some siding expands and contracts, leading to cracks. James Hardie siding is engineered for dimensional stability, reducing the risk of cracking.

    4. Moisture from Monsoons

    Sudden rainstorms can cause big moisture problems, especially with cheaper siding materials. James Hardie siding is specifically designed to resist water damage, rot, and swelling.

    5. Pest Damage

    Wood siding is vulnerable to termites and carpenter ants. James Hardie siding is pest-resistant, giving you long-term peace of mind.
