James Hardie Siding in Leesburg VA: What Every Homeowner in Potomac Station, Lansdowne, River Creek & Beacon Hill Needs to Know
If you live in Leesburg — whether that's a colonial in Lansdowne, a townhome in Potomac Station, an estate in Beacon Hill, or a golf course home in River Creek — there's a good chance your original siding is telling you something.
Most of Leesburg's biggest neighborhoods were built between 1988 and 2006. That puts a massive chunk of the town's housing stock at 20–35 years old. Original vinyl, LP SmartSide, and hardboard systems don't last forever — and right now, the replacement wave is happening in real time across Potomac Crossing, Kincaid Forest, Stratford, Tavistock Farms, Northlake, and Exeter.
The product winning almost every conversation? James Hardie fiber cement siding.
🏠 Why Leesburg homeowners are choosing James Hardie in 2026:
✅ 30-year non-prorated product warranty — longer than any vinyl alternative ✅ HardieZone® System engineered for Northern Virginia's freeze-thaw cycles, 90°F+ humid summers, and severe thunderstorms ✅ Noncombustible — fire-resistant under the International Building Code ✅ ColorPlus® Technology factory finish — 15-year warranty, no repainting needed ✅ Termite, woodpecker, and rot proof — critical for Leesburg's wooded lots and mature landscaping ✅ 70–80% cost recovery at resale in a market where median home values hit $850,869

📋 The HOA reality in Leesburg: Almost every neighborhood requires ARB approval before any siding work begins — 14 to 45 days depending on the community. River Creek and Beacon Hill run the longest. A qualified contractor handles the paperwork from start to finish, including product specs, ColorPlus samples, and elevation photos.
💡 One thing most Leesburg homeowners don't know: homes inside the incorporated Town of Leesburg limits typically require a building permit for full siding replacement — unlike unincorporated Loudoun County. Know which side of the line your home is on before signing a contract.
