About This Project:
Classic Farmhouse Turned Modern Siding Installation
West Newbury MA
From Classic Farmhouse to Modern Home in New England
These homeowners moved to New England in 2016 specifically to find a classic farmhouse. When they bought their home, it had red and yellow cedar siding in poor condition. In addition, when they painted over it, the paint blistered and peeled quickly. Because of direct sunlight exposure, the painted wood deteriorated fast. As a result, the siding looked ineffective and high maintenance.
Choosing Enduring Fiber Cement Siding
Fortunately, Sheri reached out to Coastal Windows & Exteriors for help. As an Elite James Hardie Contractor, we provided a detailed quote and product guidance. Moreover, we reviewed the benefits of James Hardie fiber cement siding for coastal weather. As a result, the homeowners chose Board and Batten and 5 ¼″ Cedarmill plank siding in crisp Arctic White. Not only does this siding resist fading and peeling, but it also keeps its bright aesthetic with very little upkeep.
Expert Installation Tailored for Longevity
First, we removed the old cedar siding carefully. Then, we prepped the house with proper sheathing, insulation, and moisture barriers. After that, we installed the new James Hardie siding using precise techniques. In addition, we sealed and trimmed all joints to prevent water intrusion. Because of this meticulous installation, the exterior now looks seamless and performs reliably in harsh New England weather.
Daily Benefits That Homeowners Love
Now, the homeowners no longer worry about blistering, chipping, or rotting wood. Instead, their home looks fresh and maintains its Arctic White color through every season. Furthermore, the siding provides added insulation and durability, helping save energy and reduce maintenance costs. As a result, they enjoy both comfort and curb appeal without the hassle.
Why This Transformation Stands Out
Maintenance-Free Exterior: No more painting or staining.
Durable Fiber Cement: Resists weather, pests, and fading.
Classic Meets Modern: Board & Batten and Cedarmill siding preserve farmhouse charm.
Long-Term Value: Adds resilience and resale appeal.
Peace of Mind: Built to last, backed by lifetime warranties.
In conclusion, this project transformed a weathered farmhouse into a timeless, modern home. Above all, the homeowners gained the quality and low-maintenance living they were seeking—thanks to James Hardie siding and expert installation by Coastal Windows & Exteriors.
Vinyl Siding Replacements
If I could share a few words…We have lived all over the country, and this home is our fifth complete remodel. I have dealt with MANY contractors and laborers. In my experience, as a woman it can be difficult at times with a project of this scale and complexity to maintain a collaborative and respectful relationship with your contractors if an issue arises or the project gets challenging in any way. Mr. Baressi was a delightful departure from the behavior I have come to expect from others in his position. Whatever you’re paying him, it’s not enough! Haha! He has carried himself with kindness and professionalism through every step of my project from design through drafting our contract, overseeing the installation, right to the end – even personally picking up paint chips out of the flower beds. He, along with Fabiano’s crew, transformed a stressful project into a rewarding remodel. We are ever grateful.
