Trying to maintain a consistent look around certain exterior sections of your home may seem impossible, especially around cement steps or other protrusions from the side of the structure. However, James Hardie Siding products are quite versatile there are many innovative products within the line that allow us to trim out almost any area of your home. This particular customer desired the resilience and low maintenance of fiber cement siding, but also wanted to maintain the realistic wood look of his current clapboard siding. When he expressed his concerns about the cement stairs next to his dwelling, we were quick to offer a solution.
The homeowner chose Hardie Select Cedarmill Lap Siding in Bombay Blue, which provides the natural wood appearance and texture that the he wanted. We finished out the home with a complementary trim to provide a clean look overall. Keeping the client’s desire for uniformity in mind, we not only trimmed out the base of the home with the required water table, but we used our installation specialists’ accurate cutting skills to give this customer the same look around his front cement stairs. There are specific manufacturer guidelines that require leaving a 1 or 2-inch gap between the cement and the siding, and we were careful to follow all the protocol to ensure the validity of his product’s warranty.

As a highly experienced Hardiplank installation contractor in MA, you can count us to come up with innovative solutions to handle almost any challenge. We guarantee 100% customer satisfaction to ensure that the job is done right, so that your siding will bring you years of pleasure.
