What Is Hardie® Trim?

The Finishing Touch That Defines Your Exterior

Hardie trim is a fiber cement trim product designed to create clean lines and protect key areas of your home’s exterior. Installed around windows, doors, corners, and rooflines, trim boards help complete the look of your siding while adding durability in areas that are frequently exposed.

  • Around windows and doors
  • At siding transitions and edges
  • Along rooflines and fascia areas
  • As hardie corner trim for clean exterior lines

At Robert Gordon Services, we install HardieTrim® boards as part of complete exterior systems for homeowners throughout Raleigh, Cary, Durham, Apex, and the Triangle area. These products are designed to pair seamlessly with James Hardie® siding, creating a cohesive and polished appearance.

Whether you’re upgrading molding and trim during a full siding replacement and installation project or focusing on specific areas like Hardie® window trim or door trim, our team provides detailed, professional installation.

Amazing company!! His pricing was competitive and his quote very detailed. His workers showed up on time and were meticulous in their work. He kept in constant contact with us throughout the project. The issues that arise with any construction project were handled immediately and to our satisfaction. The James Hardie material they used was superior to anything else we reviewed. The pre-painted option was exactly what they offered. When done, they left their work areas spotless. We are so pleased with beautiful transformation of our home. I would recommend this company without reservation.

We'd been wanting to replace the old, crumbling masonite siding on our home for awhile, and Robert Gordon Services, Inc. did a professional job completing the project to our satisfaction. His prices were competitive. What I appreciated most was Robert's quick responsiveness; he was easy to talk to, easily reachable, and willing to accommodate needs that arose during the project. We've since received many compliments from neighbors as well! Thank you, Robert and team for a job well done! Much appreciated.

I can’t say enough amazing things about this painting company. I had a last-minute project that absolutely had to get done on a tight timeline, and they stepped in without hesitation. From the very first interaction, they were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about helping me out of a stressful situation. They showed up promptly and got right to work, and it was clear from the start that they take a lot of pride in what they do. The attention to detail was outstanding—clean lines, smooth finishes, and a level of precision that really made the final result stand out. They didn’t cut corners, and they made sure everything was done the right way. Beyond the quality of their work, they were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Friendly, respectful, and professional throughout the entire process, they made what could have been a hectic experience feel easy and seamless. It’s rare to find a team that combines skill, reliability, and such a positive attitude. On top of all that, their pricing was more than fair, especially considering the last-minute nature of the job and the high-quality results they delivered. I truly felt like I got incredible value. If you’re looking for painters who are dependable, talented, and go above and beyond for their clients, I would recommend them without hesitation. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

I’m building a home at the beach but didn’t want to drive down there just to pick the color of the siding. Robert helped me greatly by directing me to several of the beautiful houses that he completed. He even agreed to meet with me to give me a list of the homes to look at. Very nice gentleman

Robert and his team are great! His team painted our home in the past and we just had them stain our deck. The deck was new a few years ago, but then life happened and we never got around to staining. His team did an amazing job cleaning and prepping the deck and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Pricing has always been fair (more than fair actually) , his crew thorough, and Robert is very responsive.

Robert Gordon and his crew did an amazing job replacing our old cedar siding with new Hardie Plank. It was mesmerizing to watch the crew at work; they have a smooth and efficient approach when it comes to measuring and installing the planks. They also installed new window and door trim, which was painted beautifully by another member of Robert's team. I can't recommend Robert Gordon Services more highly. The communication, organization and professionalism are second to none.

We made the decision it was time to re-side our home and knew that we wanted Hardie plank. After interviewing 3 different companies recommended by Hardie, we chose to work with Robert Gordon, and we are very glad we did! Robert spent a lot of time with us: looking at the house, describing what we could expect of a Hardie plank install and taking about his services. His estimate was prompt AND extremely reasonable compared to the other estimates. His team, who are employees, not subs, worked long days in the cold, took their time to make sure things were done correctly and did a great job. Our home looks BEAUTIFUL! We highly recommend Robert Gordon and his team!

Robert and his team just completed re-siding with Hardie plank and painting our whole house and I could not be happier! 1) - Robert EMPLOYS his team - they are not subcontractors. That part by itself is amazing as I could tell the team took their time to do things well and correctly, regardless of the amount of time it took. 2) Amazingly, Robert was the cheaper quote I received after calling several well-known siding contractors in the area. Robert is clear, communicative, budget-aware, and the work is QUALITY. Don't hesitate to give him a call!

WOW! After getting many quotes from many different companies, we decided to move forward with Robert and his team for re-siding our home--and boy, are we glad we did! Robert was friendly, informative, and reasonably priced. His team was FANTASTIC. Carlos and his team take great pride in their work, and Hector's painting is impeccable. I can't say enough positive things about Robert Gordon Services! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Benefits of Hardie® Trim Boards

Why Trim Matters More Than You Think

Hardie trim is more than a decorative feature. It plays an important role in protecting your home and enhancing curb appeal.

Key Benefits

  • Clean, Defined Lines: Creates contrast and structure around windows, doors, and corners

  • Durability: Made from fiber cement to resist moisture, warping, and wear

  • Low Maintenance: Requires less upkeep than traditional wood trim

  • Design Flexibility: Available in a range of Hardie® trim sizes to fit different styles

  • System Compatibility: Designed to pair with James Hardie® board siding products

When properly installed, Hardie trim boards help tie together every element of your exterior for a cohesive and long-lasting finish.

Exploring Textures and Styles

Smooth vs. Rustic Grain HardieTrim®

Choosing the right texture for your Hardie® board trim is just as important as the color. Depending on the architectural style of your Raleigh home, we offer two primary finishes:

  • Smooth Trim: This is the go-to choice for modern, contemporary, or transitional homes. It provides clean, sharp lines that create a sophisticated frame around your Hardie® window trim and doors. It mimics the look of sanded, premium wood without the risk of knots or grain popping.

  • Rustic Grain: For homeowners who love the look of traditional cedar, the Rustic Grain finish provides a deep, wood-like texture. This looks beautiful on craftsman-style homes or when used as Hardie® corner trim to add a touch of rugged character to the exterior.

During our consultation, we can show you samples of different Hardie® trim sizes and textures to ensure the “frame” of your home perfectly matches the “canvas” of your siding.
