What Is Alliance Select?
James Hardie’s preferred contractor program has multiple tiers. Alliance Select is the highest — reserved for installers who demonstrate superior craftsmanship, strong customer satisfaction, and consistent installation volume. It is not given, it is earned through performance.
Alliance Select contractors make up fewer than 1% of all siding contractors in any market. In the Bay Area, the number of holders is extremely small.
As Alliance Select installers, we are authorized to install Hardie ColorPlus siding — factory-applied, baked-on color that resists fading, chipping, and moisture far better than field-painted siding.
First Tier Exterior is listed on James Hardie’s official website as a preferred installer. That listing is a backlink from one of the industry’s most authoritative manufacturer sites — and a direct referral source for homeowners who start on Hardie’s site.
