Life in Arizona means learning to live with extremes—triple-digit summer days, cool desert nights, sudden monsoon downpours, and the occasional wall of dust that seems straight out of a movie. While we adapt, our homes don’t always adjust so easily. Your siding, in particular, takes the brunt of these conditions year after year.
At Weather-Tite Roofing and Construction, we’ve been proudly serving the East Valley for the past three years, helping homeowners protect their most significant investment. From concrete tile roof resets to siding, we’re experts in restoring the exterior of your home and making sure it’s ready for whatever the desert climate throws its way.
Here are some of the most common siding issues we see in Arizona’s extreme climate—and how James Hardie siding can help fix them.
1. Warping and Melting Vinyl
Let’s face it: Arizona summers are no joke! Vinyl siding can warp, buckle, or even soften under relentless sun and heat. Once that happens, it loses its protective seal. James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered to resist heat and stay strong—even when the thermometer reads 115°.
Fading and Sun Damage
Our beautiful desert sunshine is therapy for the soul, but tough on siding colors. UV rays fade paint, leaving homes looking tired. James Hardie siding features baked-on ColorPlus Technology, which resists fading and keeps your home’s curb appeal vibrant for years.
Cracking from Temperature Swings
Desert nights cool quickly after scorching days, and that rapid expansion and contraction can crack some siding materials. James Hardie siding is built with dimensional stability in mind, and it holds up to climates with sharp temperature swings.
Monsoon Moisture and Wind
When monsoons roll through, they bring heavy rain, high winds, and sometimes flying debris. Cheaper siding can absorb water or break under stress, leading to damage. James Hardie siding is moisture-resistant and impact-tested, making it a smart choice for Arizona homes.
Pest Problems
Wood siding can attract termites, carpenter ants, and other unwelcome guests. With James Hardie siding, you don’t have to worry. Fiber cement is pest-resistant, keeping your home safe from critters that thrive in warm, dry climates.
