Make sure you get what you pay for!

There can be a lot of parts and pieces to keep track of when having HardiePlank siding installed on your home.  Especially if you're replacing all of your trim as part of the job. There's rake boards, shingle mould, returns, drip cap, deck trim.....you get the point. Take a look at the side of your [...]

Misleading Advertising?

I received a call from a homeowner earlier this week who wanted to get a price to have HardiePlank® siding installed on their home. It makes sense that they would call Blue Ridge Exteriors since HardiePlank® siding is the only exterior cladding that we do install. The homeowner made a point of telling me that [...]

Is your contractor properly licensed?

You've done your homework as a smart consumer.  You got more than one estimate.  You checked the BBB.  You looked at some work the contractor has already completed, and you visited a job that is currently being installed.  You like the price, and you like the company rep you spoke with. What's left to do [...]

This won’t happen with HardiePlank® siding

Here is yet another story of a house fire that could have been prevented if a non-flammable siding had been installed on the exterior.  This house fire claimed no lives, but it could have been far worse. HardiePlank® siding by James Hardie® Building Products is non-combustible and approved for fire-rated construction.  You can accidentally put [...]

What an AMAZING offer!

I've got a great story about why homeowners shouldn't always believe what they read.

It seems as though there is an AMAZING company in Central Virginia that claims in a mailer that [...]
