Hardie plank is a type of lap siding that contains cement fibers making it extremely durable.

The only way i know of to remove blind nailed fiber cement siding is to start at the top of the wall cut through the caulking with a utility knife use a flat prybar to carefully remove the nails then take off each piece of siding.

This is something to be aware of as you or your painter get started.
Can i attach it directly to the hardiplank siding with screws into predrilled holes then caulk around gaps between metal frame and siding or is there a better way.
