Top 5 Reasons Homeowners Choose James Hardie Over Vinyl Siding

When it comes to replacing your home’s siding, you’re not just picking a material — you’re investing in long-term protection, curb appeal, and value. Two of the most common siding choices today are James Hardie® fiber cement siding and vinyl siding. While both options have their place, they offer very different advantages.

As Minnesota’s award-winning siding replacement specialists, we at Custom One Exteriors want to help you make the best decision for your home. We’re proud to be a certified James Hardie installer, which gives us deep insight into how this premium siding stacks up against vinyl.

Let’s dive into the key categories where these two materials go head-to-head.

Durability

James Hardie® Siding:

Minnesota homes — especially those near lakes or wooded areas — deserve siding that looks great and lasts through all four seasons. James Hardie siding offers a deep wood-grain texture and rich color that enhances curb appeal, whether you’re in the city or at the cabin.

Thanks to its baked-on ColorPlus® finish, it resists fading from sunlight reflecting off the water and holds up against seasonal wear. It’s a great fit for lake homes, vacation properties, or year-round residences that need lasting beauty with minimal maintenance.

Vinyl Siding:

Vinyl siding is lightweight and affordable, but its performance in Minnesota’s climate is limited. It can crack during freezing temperatures and warp during summer heatwaves. Over time, exposure to hail, wind, and impact can cause panels to break or buckle. While some vinyl options are more durable than others, it generally doesn’t offer the same level of long-term strength as fiber cement.

Fire Resistance

James Hardie® Siding:

Fire safety is an often-overlooked benefit of siding, but it’s especially important for Minnesota homes with fire pits, grills, wooded lots, or close neighbors. James Hardie siding is non-combustible and Class A fire rated (ASTM E84), meaning it won’t ignite when exposed to direct flame or high heat.

It’s also been tested in 1-hour and 2-hour fire-rated wall assemblies, offering an added layer of protection in high-risk situations. Whether you’re living lakeside, in a wooded setting, or in a suburban neighborhood, Hardie siding brings peace of mind that vinyl simply can’t match.

Vinyl Siding:

Vinyl siding is made from PVC, which begins to melt at relatively low temperatures and can ignite under direct flame. In the event of a fire, it may contribute to flame spread and release toxic fumes. Even indirect heat from a grill, outdoor fire pit, or nearby structure can cause vinyl to warp or deform — making it a less fire-safe option for many Minnesota homes.

Weather Resistance

James Hardie® Siding:

Minnesota homes face everything from subzero winters and heavy snow to spring rains and summer heatwaves. James Hardie siding is engineered for this kind of climate. It performs exceptionally well in freeze-thaw cycles, resists moisture absorption, and won’t warp, swell, or crack when temperatures swing dramatically.

It’s also tested and proven to handle high winds, hail, and storm impacts, making it an ideal choice for homes in the Midwest — where unpredictable weather is the norm, not the exception.

Vinyl Siding:

Vinyl is water-resistant, but it’s more vulnerable to extreme weather than other materials. In cold weather, panels can become brittle and crack. In the summer, expansion can lead to warping or waving along the walls. Strong winds can loosen panels or tear them away entirely. For homeowners dealing with frequent storms, vinyl may require ongoing maintenance or repairs.

Pest Resistance

James Hardie® Siding:

Minnesota’s wooded lots, lake areas, and rural settings are no strangers to pests — from woodpeckers to squirrels to insects. James Hardie siding is made from fiber cement, which pests can’t chew through or burrow into. Unlike wood or improperly installed vinyl, it doesn’t leave gaps or soft spots that invite infestations. It’s an excellent choice for homeowners who want durable siding that keeps pests — and problems — outside where they belong.

Vinyl Siding:

Vinyl siding doesn’t attract termites, but if not sealed properly, it can leave gaps where insects, birds, or rodents can nest. This is especially common around trim, soffits, or behind loose panels. Over time, even small entry points can lead to pest-related issues that damage insulation or allow moisture into the walls.

Warranty & Longevity

James Hardie® Siding:

James Hardie offers one of the strongest warranties in the industry — a 30-year, non-prorated warranty on siding and 15 years on the ColorPlus® finish. That’s full coverage you can rely on, especially in Minnesota’s tough climate. Because the siding is designed to resist moisture, UV exposure, and physical damage, homeowners typically enjoy decades of protection without frequent repairs or replacements. It’s a smart, long-term solution for protecting your biggest investment: your home.

Vinyl Siding:

Vinyl siding typically comes with a manufacturer’s warranty, but many are prorated and offer limited protection over time — especially for color fading or labor. While vinyl may last 20 to 30 years in ideal conditions, Minnesota’s climate often shortens its lifespan due to repeated freeze-thaw cycles, storms, and UV exposure.

2025 Awards: Recognized for Excellence

Custom One is proud to be recognized again in 2025 for our work across multiple divisions—including Custom One Homes, Renovation, Landscaping, and Exteriors. This year’s honors include both statewide recognition through the Star Tribune’s Minnesota’s Best awards and city-level awards from local community magazines.

These awards reflect our continued focus on quality, client satisfaction, and long-term value across the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin.

Minnesota’s Best 2025 – Statewide Recognition from the Star Tribune

The Minnesota‘s Best awards, organized by the Star Tribune and based completely on public vote, showcase the businesses that Minnesotans trust, rely on, and are loyal to. With more than 1.2 million votes cast in 2025, we are honored to list several key areas where we were recognized. Custom One Homes was awarded Gold for Best Homebuilder, reflecting the thoughtfulness and care we take throughout the design and construction process. Custom One Landscaping received Silver and Bronze for Landscape Design and Outdoor Living recognizing the wonderful new spaces we create and integrate into how families live outside.

While the statewide recognition of Minnesota’s Best demonstrates expanded trust across the region, the local awards are special in a whole different way. They come from the communities where we upgrade, remodel, and work on a day-to-day basis. They come from the neighborhoods where our team members live, where word of mouth counts most, and where relationships often begin with a referral or a conversation. These local wins reflect that everyday consideration and connection.

Best of 2025: Local Awards in the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin

In addition to the series of statewide awards, Custom One received awards in multiple Best Of competitions published by local city magazines throughout the metro area including Woodbury Magazine, Plymouth Magazine, Edina Magazine, Maple Grove Magazine, and Cities South Magazine. These community-voted awards highlight our efforts in our local neighborhoods, and we are thrilled to see all of our divisions recognized across the board!

Woodbury Magazine

Woodbury is where the Custom One story began, so we feel especially proud to be recognized as Best Custom Home Builder for the 12th straight year. This award represents the strong relationships we‘ve established in the Woodbury area—from helping first-time homebuyers to working with repeat clients on the next phase of their lives. We were also recognized for our landscaping work as we earned 3rd Place for Best Landscape Design, which showed how important outdoor living is to what we do.

Cities South Magazine

This year, Custom One received top honors in multiple categories from Cities South Magazine, which serves the communities of Apple Valley, Lakeville and Prior Lake. Custom One Renovation was voted Best Remodeler, which exemplifies the detail and client-driven approach we take to all things renovation. Custom One Exteriors was awarded Best Roofing Service, while Custom One Landscaping received 2nd Place for Landscape Design. To complete the honors, Custom One Homes received 2nd Place for Best Custom Builder, showing that collectively, our Custom One team is strong in homes, renovation, landscaping and exteriors throughout the southern metro.

Maple Grove Magazine

Custom One Exteriors was voted 2nd Place for Best Roofing Company in Maple Grove—our first time ever being acknowledged in this category in the magazine! We can’t say how thrilled we are for our new growing Exteriors team, and we are so proud to know that homeowners are taking notice in the quality of care that we put into our roofing projects across the entire metro area, either through directly repairing and replacing roofs or whether we are supporting new builds and renovations.

Edina Magazine

In the city of Edina, Custom One Landscaping received 2nd Place for Best Landscape Design Service, acknowledging the intentional outdoor spaces we have constructed throughout Edina. From elegant patios and terraces to property–wide makeovers, our company has assisted homeowners in expanding their living areas in ways that seem to relate to the home‘s architecture and daily living.

Plymouth Magazine

For Custom One, Plymouth has produced wins in three categories. Custom One Renovation won Second Place for Best Remodeler, a result of the team continuing their work to transform homes for better living and functionality for growing families and modern lifestyle. Custom One Landscaping won Third Place for Best Landscape Design, and Custom One Exteriors won Second Place for Best Roofing Service—a strong representation of cross divisional capabilities within the same market.

Consistently Recognized for Excellence

These awards aren‘t just a one or done, these are indicative of a long–term standard of service and the relationships we build in neighborhoods, cities and county–wide. Custom One Homes is now ranked number 1 in Woodbury Magazine for 12 straight years. Custom One Renovation has been rated Best Remodeler in several communities since 2023. Custom One Landscaping has continued to be rated in both design and implementation. This year, we were even prouder to see Custom One Exteriors go across multiple cities for roofing & siding descriptions – things that require trust from homeowners. It is great to see our work have resonance – it is even better that the people who took the time to vote and share their stories.

5 Reasons to Choose Pavers Over Stamped Concrete for Your Outdoor Patio

Custom One Landscaping offers professional insights into the benefits of choosing pavers for your outdoor living areas. Serving the Twin Cities, Western Wisconsin, and throughout Minnesota, our expert team specializes in creating exquisite outdoor spaces that not only enhance your home’s aesthetic but also offer long-lasting enjoyment. Here’s why you should consider pavers over stamped concrete for your next landscaping project.

Why Pavers Are the Smart Choice for Your Outdoor Patio

If you’re planning to upgrade your outdoor patio in the Twin Cities, Western Wisconsin, or greater Minnesota, choosing the right materials is key to long-term beauty and performance. While stamped concrete may seem appealing at first, pavers deliver superior value, style, and durability, especially in regions with freeze-thaw cycles. At Custom One Landscaping, we specialize in designing custom paver patios that are built to last. Here are five reasons why pavers are the better choice for your outdoor living space.

Versatility in Design

Pavers come in a wide variety of colors, shapes, and textures, allowing for unique customization that stamped concrete often can’t match. Whether you’re looking for a rustic look with natural stone pavers or a modern design with geometric patterns, pavers provide the flexibility to match your home’s style and your personal taste. Custom One Landscaping’s design team can help you choose the perfect style to complement your backyard and achieve the outdoor patio of your dreams.

Durability and Maintenance

When it comes to weathering the harsh winters of Minnesota and the varied climate of the Twin Cities, pavers offer superior durability and easier maintenance compared to stamped concrete. Pavers are less likely to crack in extreme temperatures due to their interlocking design, which allows for natural expansion and contraction. Additionally, if damage does occur, you can easily replace individual pavers without disturbing the entire patio, keeping your outdoor space looking pristine with minimal effort.

Durability and Maintenance

Improved Safety Features

Pavers provide better slip resistance than stamped concrete, which is a crucial factor to consider for outdoor areas exposed to rain and snow. This makes pavers an ideal choice for outdoor patios and especially around outdoor firepits where safety is paramount. At Custom One Landscaping, ensuring the safety of your outdoor environments is a priority, and pavers play a significant role in achieving that.

Long-Term Cost Effectiveness

Initially, stamped concrete might seem like a cost-effective option due to its lower upfront costs. However, considering the longevity and lower maintenance needs of pavers, they often prove to be more economical over time. Pavers are incredibly durable and maintain their color and finish longer than stamped concrete, which can fade and wear over time. The ease of replacing individual pavers also avoids the need for more significant, costly repairs that can occur with stamped concrete slabs.

Long-Term Cost Effectiveness

Eco-Friendly Options

For those who are environmentally conscious, pavers offer permeable options that allow for better water drainage and reduce runoff, a significant benefit in managing stormwater and protecting local waterways. Custom One Landscaping can help you select eco-friendly paver options that minimize environmental impact while enhancing the beauty of your outdoor space.

FAQ - Pavers vs Stamped Concrete

Why are pavers better than stamped concrete for patios in Minnesota?

Pavers are better suited for Minnesota’s climate because they handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. Their interlocking design allows for natural movement, making them more durable than stamped concrete.

Are paver patios more expensive than stamped concrete?

While pavers may have a higher upfront cost, they’re more cost-effective long-term. They require less maintenance and are easier to repair than stamped concrete, saving homeowners money over time.

Do pavers offer more design options than stamped concrete?

Yes. Pavers come in a wide range of shapes, colors, and textures, offering far more design flexibility than stamped concrete. They can easily match your home’s style and enhance curb appeal.

Which is safer—pavers or stamped concrete—for outdoor patios?

Pavers generally offer better slip resistance, especially in wet or icy conditions. This makes them a safer choice for residential patios and outdoor areas around pools or firepits.

Are paver patios environmentally friendly?

Yes, many paver options are permeable, allowing water to drain naturally into the ground. This reduces runoff and supports eco-friendly landscaping practices.

Enhancing Your Outdoor Living with Custom One Landscaping

Choosing the right materials for your patio is more than just about aesthetics, it’s about making a long-term investment in your property. At Custom One Landscaping, we understand the importance of creating outdoor spaces that are beautiful, functional, and sustainable. With our expertise in landscaping design, from pavers to outdoor firepits, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Cozy Spaces: Our Favorite Spots to Hibernate

The holidays are behind us, which means it’s time for Minnesotans to settle in somewhere cozy and hibernate until spring. Okay, we know some hearty Midwesterners enjoy outdoor winter fun, too. But sometimes the January-March chill can only be braved under a warm blanket and next to a crackling fire.

In Scandinavian countries, where winter means months of snow, cold, and little daylight (sound familiar?), they practice the concept of Hygge. This custom is all about your attitude. It’s a mind-shift switch that embraces the season by celebrating coziness, warmth, family time, and practicing mindfulness.

If you’re ready to embrace the art of Hygge, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite comfortable client spaces to inspire you. Grab a cup of hot cocoa, light a candle, and browse through these rooms that reflect all things cozy below!
