Usually the Roofing company will do both. I started my roofing company in 1989 and the first 2 year's i would do both. And now it just makes to much business sence to use a subcontractor . But i 90% of my work is existing homeowners if you are buying from a builder They may use 2 different company's very likely if it is a big builder. They are trying to keep there margins as high as they can. A new small builder will normally use one company Usually the Roofing Company. But when i used a sub i was the company that carried the warranty on the roof and gutters. My customers never new they where subs. I hope that helped you. Things are changing very fast in the industry but still do it this way my customers like to use one contractor.
hardie board has a 30 year warranty, why are you covering it?
The only leverage you might have now since they are deneying it and already have their money is to start placing bad reviews of them online.
Top review sites are Google, BBB, Yelp, Houzz and Facebook. Also Angie's List and Home Advisor are good if they are on these platforms?
Give them one last chance to correct the problem along with a list these review platforms that you WILL be posting bad reviews on if it is not resolved within a stated timeline. If they are smart then they should resolve the problem.
If not, then place the bad reviews and send them a list of website links of each of the bad reviews. Let them know that once they resolve the problem then you will take all the bad reviews off.
Not much else you can do except go legal and this does not seem to warrant that?

I strongly suggest go to James Hardie wedsite, download their installation instruction and get familiar with the process. We witness so many fiber cement siding that was done wrong. It may be wised to have a clause in the contract that the work will be done according to James Hardie's installation instruction.
Problem may not arise in few years and contractor's warranty on paper is a joke if he has no intension to honor it.
I totally agreed Mr. Jim Myers' suggestion to check on the contractor throughly.
The key is doing the job right the first time will save you a lot of headach down the road.
Good luck with your project.
If you are asking about how to repair the roof damage, then I would like to suggest you to go for insurance claim process if you are already done with an insurance of roof damage. Because the plumber will cost you more, so you take some helpful hints from the Public adjusters about how to get the maximum claim amount on the Roof damage.

2018 Remodeling Cost vs Value Report
This will give you an idea of the average return on your investment in the region where you live.
The one factor it will not give you is number of intangibles you may receive from the project you're considering.
Make sure those are also part of your equation before making a final decision on the impact a remodeling project may make on the "value" of your home.
Doing a water test to determine where the water is entering may locate the issue. Also checking your roof vents, flashing, chimney, gutters and downspouts
Everything the rest said above but, in regards to the warranty:
Check with your Secretary of State and see how long they have been in business. If they are giving you a 10 year warranty, but have only been around for 6 months, then who cares? They won't be around long enough for you to have a warranty issue.
On the other hand, if the one around for 2 years has been around for 10 years, then they probably know that no one calls them for legitimate warranty issues 10 years later, and simply cuts it short so that they aren't called back to fix work that they didn't do.
If you are unsure check with the BBB. your state licensing board, and go look at several references where they have done instalations. Talk to the owners if you can and see how they were treated. These three things should tell you a lot about who you are dealing with. also have them give you the name of the brand of cement board and have them describe exactly what they propose to do. also look to see if one is prefinished and one is not. Prefinished are more expensive Good Luck.
Yes, you need to contact a roofing company to check it out. Possibly need a rain diviter installed. Possibly need a gutter installation company to swap out current gutters for larger commercial size gutters.
I guess this would be called a remodel: what is happening is the valley gutter is draining down the side of my house presently. I would like a large "basin" type catch to divert the water away from the siding.
A very quick and cost effective way to upgrade your homes exterior is a cleaning and color change. Pressure wash to clean it up and paint the shutters and front door. They can remain the same color or pick a fresh new color. You can also take any old fixtures that have faded over time and paint the metal with a fresh satin or gloss paint. Same with metal railings or metal awnings. Possibly a one day job with big results.
Besides the painting suggested by Chad of Lonestar Painting which can truly makeover the appearance of a home, I suggest that the trees and shrubs be professionally trimmed and thinned out. Application of weed control and fertilization of the lawn will provide a healthy and attractive canvas to your yard that can be supplemented with a dose of spring color annuals
