James Hardie Trim Boards
James Hardie Trim VS Wood Trim –
Fiber Cement vs Wood siding is a common question here in the Northwest if you are looking for an exterior investment. Some contractors will use wood corners and window trim because it’s a little cheaper than James Hardie Trim. Bad idea! Here is why….
