James Hardie® Shake Siding 5 Installation
Danvers, MA
In Danvers, MA, a homeowner decided to tackle the wear and inefficiencies plaguing their residence by upgrading both the siding and windows. The old siding had suffered from weather exposure, showing signs of peeling and distortion. Similarly, the existing windows were noted for their poor energy performance, allowing heat loss and leading to increased utility bills.
Window and Siding Replacement Plan:
The project began with the careful removal of the deteriorated siding and windows. All the removed materials were disposed of responsibly, aligning with environmental best practices. The custom replacement windows featured energy-efficient glass and Simulated Divided Lites (SDLs) grids for visual appeal. Each window was finished with new PVC trim, which complements the new siding and ensures a seamless look across the exterior.
Alongside the window upgrades, we installed James Hardie® Shake siding in a stylish Pearl Gray color with a 5” reveal. Homeowners love Hardie® for its aesthetics, durability, and resistance to the harsh New England weather. James Hardie® smooth soffit topped off the new look of this Danvers home–ready to defend against mother nature while offering a striking curb appeal!
