The Real Rebuild

Matt takes a look at his James Hardie siding two years after the install to see how it has held up over time. He also describes the reasons why he went with Hardie® siding and other products when working on the exterior of his house which include durability and airtightness, something he also got from using Prosoco to help seal the home from air and bugs. 

 

Special Thanks to our sponosr: James Hardie
