Protect Your Home with the Industry’s Best Siding
Your home’s siding does more than create curb appeal—it serves as your home’s armor against the elements. At Champion Forest Exteriors, we believe in using only the most reliable, longest-lasting siding material available, and that’s HardiePlank® fiber cement siding. After decades of hands-on experience, we’ve seen how well HardiePlank performs in Houston’s intense climate—and that’s why it’s the only siding we install.
Why We Only Use HardiePlank® Siding
At the end of the day, it’s simple: we install HardiePlank because it lasts, protects, and looks better than anything else.
The Benefits of Replacing Your Siding with HardiePlank®
Serious Curb Appeal That Lasts
Energy Efficiency That Lowers Your Bills
When installed with proper house wrap and flashing, HardiePlank siding dramatically improves your home’s energy efficiency. It creates a tighter, more weather-resistant envelope that keeps hot air out and cool air in—something every Houston homeowner can appreciate during the long summer months.
The Best Return on Investment
Siding replacement with fiber cement siding consistently ranks among the top home improvement projects for resale value. It not only beautifies your home but also signals quality and durability to future buyers, giving you a competitive edge if you ever decide to sell.

That’s why we’ve chosen to focus exclusively on James Hardie products. Our reputation matters—and we only install materials we can stand behind 100%.
