If your home went up during Spring Hill’s building boom, the original siding may be starting to show its age. Maybe it’s swollen board ends near the driveway, paint flaking off the bottom rows, or dents left by the last hailstorm. Fairway Exteriors is a James Hardie siding contractor in Spring Hill, KS. We replace tired builder-grade and storm-beaten siding with fiber cement built for Kansas freeze-thaw winters.

Spring Hill has more than doubled in size in about 20 years. That growth created a specific set of siding problems, and they show up across town, from Wolf Creek to the older blocks near downtown.
A lot of homes from Spring Hill’s first big growth wave were sided quickly, with basic flashing and thin house wrap. Around years 12 to 20, we start seeing swollen drip edges, soft spots under windows, and paint that won’t stay on no matter how often you repaint.
Many Spring Hill homes back up to fields or sit on the edge of new phases with nothing to slow the wind down. Radar has picked up hail near Spring Hill dozens of times over the years. An April 2026 tornado also touched down in the area. Vinyl cracks and engineered wood dents. Fiber cement stands up to both far better.
New lots settle. Homeowners add mulch beds and landscape rock. Before long, the bottom row of siding is nearly touching the ground, where it soaks up splash-back every time it rains. We reset proper ground clearance and flashing during every install, because that’s where most early siding failures start.
Spring Hill still has homes dating back to around 1900. These often have walls that aren’t square, hidden rot, and paint that needs lead-safe removal. They take a crew that knows how to true up a wall before new siding goes on.
Homes that back up to creeks and wooded draws tend to get pecked. Wood and engineered wood siding give birds something to work on. Fiber cement doesn’t.
We install one brand, James Hardie, and we install it the way Hardie’s own trainers teach it. Here’s everything we can do for your exterior.
We remove your old siding down to the sheathing, including any hidden second layer, and check every wall for rot. Then we install new house wrap, flash every window and door, and set proper clearance at the ground, roof lines, and decks. The siding is only as good as what’s behind it, so we don’t skip this part.
The classic horizontal look you see on most Spring Hill two-stories and ranches. Choose a woodgrain Cedarmill texture or a clean, smooth finish, in several board widths. It’s the most budget-friendly Hardie option, and it’s built for HZ5 climates like ours with a drip edge that sheds water.
If you love the modern farmhouse look going up in Spring Hill’s newer phases, HardiePanel vertical siding with battens gets you there. It runs about 25% to 35% more than standard lap siding. Many homeowners use it on the front elevation or gables and keep lap siding on the sides to control cost.
Shingle siding adds texture to gables, dormers, and bump-outs. It costs more than lap siding in both material and labor, so we usually suggest it as an accent. A little goes a long way for curb appeal.
HardieTrim around windows, doors, and corners finishes the job and seals the edges where water likes to sneak in. We can also replace soffit and fascia, which is a good idea if yours is sagging, stained, or giving critters a way into the attic.
ColorPlus is a factory-baked finish that holds its color much longer than paint brushed on at the house. The Statement Collection colors are the most economical choice. If you want something custom, we can install primed siding and paint it any color you like.
Cracked vinyl or dented panels after a hailstorm? We’ll walk your home, show you what we find, and help you decide whether a full replacement makes sense. If you replace, you get siding that holds up to the next storm far better.
Many homeowners update everything at once so the whole exterior matches. We also handle window replacement, front and patio door replacement, and custom decks. Learn more about our James Hardie siding installation.

Most homeowners pay $14 to $20 per square foot for James Hardie siding, and about 85% of our projects land in that range.
Here’s a quick way to estimate your own home. Many newer Spring Hill floor plans run between 1,500 and 2,500 square feet. A 2,000 square foot home with an attached garage usually needs about 2,500 square feet of siding. For siding and trim only, that works out to roughly $14 to $17 per square foot.
A few things move your number:

Most James Hardie projects run $14 to $20 per square foot. A typical 2,500-square-foot siding job with trim lands around $14 to $17 per square foot. Your exact price depends on tear-off, rot repair, and the styles you choose.
Spring Hill requires permits for many remodeling projects, and contractors must be licensed with Johnson County or Miami County to pull one. We check the requirements with Community Development and handle the paperwork for you.
Fiber cement from James Hardie’s HZ5 line is built for freezing winters, big temperature swings, and hail. It won’t rot, it doesn’t attract woodpeckers, and it holds paint well.
Most homes take one to two weeks once the crew starts. Weather, rot repair, and extras like windows can add a few days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline before you sign.
Storm damage is often covered, but it depends on your policy and deductible. Talk with your agent first. We’re happy to walk your home and point out what we see.
Most Spring Hill subdivisions with an HOA require approval before you change siding color or material. We provide product specs and renderings to help your application go through smoothly.
Look for manufacturer certification, county licensing, a written workmanship warranty, and an itemized quote. Also ask who will actually be on your house every day.
Yes. Fiber cement can go on in cold weather as long as it follows the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Winter scheduling is often faster, too.
