Why Should you Hire Professional Building Services for your Hardie project?
Professional Building Services is uniquely able to provide unrivaled Hardie install capabilities to our customers. This provides our homeowners with peace of mind knowing that their project is installed properly, that the manufacturers requirements are met, and that their project will last 30+ years.
Details, Details, DETAILS!
Properly installing James Hardie Siding is a complex project. When the manufacturers’ specs are met, Hardie Siding can deliver a high level of performance for 30+ years. The product is backed by a 30 Year, Non-Prorated Warranty. However, when Hardie is not installed correctly, then it will begin to show signs of failure in a few months- a few years— and will likely need to be replaced in 2-5 years. To make things worse, when Hardie is installed without meeting the manufacturers requirements, the homeowner’s warranty is void. There is much, much more to a Hardie installation than the siding material & even a Hardie certified installer.
Professional Building Services exclusively installs James Hardie Siding replacement because we strive to continue being masters of our craft and providing homeowners with quality products and installation. We are unwilling to offer our homeowners anything less than the best possible service delivery. It is impossible to be the best at everything and we choose to specialize in exterior projects with Hardie as our sole siding partnership. We chose to be the best at James Hardie Siding installation.
When interviewing potential Hardie contractors, here is a small list of questions that you should ask. If a contractor mismanages any of these requirements, it can lead to a premature product failure and the voidance of your Hardie warranty.
Not Every Contractor is Created Equally
It will shock you how many contractors, even those partnered with Hardie, will not know the answers to the above questions. If that does not surprise you then this will! Lets take a look at the critically acclaimed television show This Old House. The shows stated mission is to provide homeowners with Expert advice on home improvement, remodeling, gardening and decorating. Take a look at how they advise viewers to install Hardie:
Can You Find the Mistakes?
In this 5 minute video we counted 7 mistakes and inaccuracies, one of which WILL lead to premature product failure. Give us a call, we are happy to chat about it.

Unrivaled Industry Experience!
One of the more attractive attributes that a contractor can possess is the experience that he or she can bring to a homeowner’s project. While every contractor says that their experience is superior, Professional Building Services actually has a unique level of expertise that advantages homeowners like no other contractor in New England.
We are also partnered with Certified Contractor Network (CCN), who is a 3rd party company that works with the best contractors to deliver excellent customer service that tops any homeowner’s expectations. Those stereotypical ‘Chuck-in-a-Truck’ contractors / installers do not exist in our company. We show up on time, use manners, clean up, and do what is promised correctly the first time.
We take the time during our Project Consultation Process to help homeowners properly hire the right contractor for their job. You are going to make a good size investment in your home, and it vital you understand how to hire the right contractor. This is not a typical retail purchase—with most contractors, you do not know what you’re going to get until the project is started and finishing up. With Professional Building Services, you will know exactly what product materials, installation techniques, and what processes and procedures take place to assure a smooth Production Progress with continuous communication between the initial consultant, production, office, and homeowner with our Homeowner Portal. Our attention-to-detail has been recognized and awarded by many leaders of the industry like Guild Quality. We are the only local Elite Preferred Hardie Certified Installer who are a repeated award winner of the Guild Quality’s Service of Excellence Award with 100% Customer Satisfaction.

What Does James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor Status Mean?
The James Hardie Contractor Alliance Program is designed to match homeowners with professional contractors from around the country, who are trained and available to help you meet your needs for siding replacement. In an effort to provide the highest level of service, customer satisfaction surveys are initiated on every James Hardie project installed by an Elite Preferred Contractor using Guild Quality—a third party customer satisfaction surveying service.
Of the five Hardie associated standings, Elite Preferred Status is the absolute highest level. We have maintained this rating with Hardie from the start. We perform only Hardie siding & trim installation and truly believe in this product line. That means, there is absolutely no question of what needs to be done and how it needs to be done to meet Hardie’s and PBS’s expectations. The installation techniques, 50+ quality product underlayment/ “extra” materials, and overall craftsmanship required to make a Hardie job go from good to “WOW” is emphasized from your first Project Consultation until your Post Construction Meeting. We take our responsibility as Hardie contractors very seriously and prioritize homeowners’ experience.
Not only do we meet Hardie’s requirements to maintain Elite Preferred contractor status year-after-year, we exceed them. Our Silver, Gold, and Platinum packages allow homeowners to save and invest money however they wish without compromising the structural integrity of their homes. All packages meet nationwide, statewide, and Hardie codes and will grant homeowners Hardie’s 30 Year Non-Prorated Warranty. However, the PBS code surpasses these criteria. We work closely with a wide spectrum of house styles, historic houses, and homeowner personalities. During our Project Consolation and Proposal Process, we focus on YOU. Your needs. Your desires. Your budget. Step-by-step, we work with you through the selection process to customize your home while improving its efficiency and highlighting its charm.
The whole Hardie system is the ultimate choice for the best water management, curb appeal, and defense against the elements. We regularly install and smoothly produce dozens of full exterior envelope Hardie projects a year—ranging from 1,200 sq. foot homes to 7,000 sq. feet.

TESTIMONIALS

Great company with highly qualified fun personnel. They are on time, no excuses and stay on the job until completion. They work until dusk and are on the job at 7:00am. They work continuously without coffee breaks and only break for lunch. Materials are on time with no workers hanging around waiting. They clean up at the end of each day.Great staff at the office. Billing is always correct and detailed. Job supervisor and owner shows up unannounced during the project to converse with the homeowner for feedback. They are an efficient company which is not the norm in the building trades these days.If your looking for a time management building contractor PBS is your only choice.Frank D.
The first person I dealt with at PBS was Jordan. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with. Any questions I had she got right back to me . Working with Joe was a great experience. He was really concerned with making us happy. We were in constant contact with close to 200 emails and texts to discuss the ongoing project sometimes multiple times a day. The crew was great, the workmanship was top notch and they were all gentleman.I would highly recommend this fine company.Steve F.
I don’t even go for estimates from anyone else, that’s how much I trust them.Mickey W.
Pete from Professional Building Services is courteous, on time, on budget, and neurotic about doing a perfect job, not just for his reputation but for the sake of the customer. We have used Pete four times now, and he is the only person I would consider to do our jobs. We have another job lined up with Pete, and as more work comes up we will continue to call him.Merrill C.
Jordan was extremely bright and helped us with every facet of the job. From the roof to the siding to the windows to the deck she provided all the info we needed. True asset to the company. Peter and Angelo were wonderful to work with on this project.Ronald C.
I was told this company was professional, but they surpassed my expectations by more than I could have ever imagined. They were able to work within my budget and their service and quality of workmanship were exceptional! I wish more companies were like Professsional Building Services.Laurie G.
Exceptional work and staff! PBS remodeled our siding, windows, and doors. We are in love with the products and the pleasant workers. From the consultant Jordan, to our project manager Joe, the communication was constant and very helpful as this project was huge undertaking. Angelo, Pete, Johnny, Alex, Brian & Jack always had a smile on their faces. We’re impressed by the talent, cleanliness, and overall professionalism of PBS!Taylor C.
PBS did an excellent job from start to finish — explaining all the options and costs, providing estimates that included everything (permits, electrician, etc. in addition to the primary labor and materials) so there were no surprises at the end, starting when they said they would and working through bad weather to keep on schedule, and cleaning up at the end. We were kept involved through every step, including pictures when we had to be away for a few days. Best of all, the final results exceeded our expectations.Joel C.
