Project Timeline
James hardie cedarmill boothbay, After assessing the old siding during the free estimate, we secured a spot for our popular James Hardie® siding installation for this homeowner. The plan involved removing all existing cedar shake and vinyl siding and replacing it with high-quality James Hardie® products.
This upgrade was designed to provide a beautiful, long-lasting exterior that requires minimal upkeep. Indeed, this is one of the main reasons why homeowners choose this material for New England siding!

James Hardie® Siding Installation Process
James hardie cedarmill boothbay, After the old materials were removed and the home was prepared, the installation of the new James Hardie® siding began. The homeowner chose Hardie®’s popular Boothbay Blue for the main body of the house in cedar mill plank style with a 5-inch reveal. This choice provided a classic yet modern look.
For distinct visual contrast and architectural interest, the top section of Si2 was covered with 5-inch shake in the same Boothbay Blue. This approach seamlessly integrated different textures within the same color palette. Moreover, this combination added depth and character to the home’s exterior design. As a result, the overall appearance is both cohesive and striking.
Trim and Detailing
To complement the new siding, Arctic White James Hardie® trim was installed around all windows, doors, garage doors, and fascia. This trim package also included shadow boards on the rakes only, which helps highlight the home’s architectural features. Additionally, a water table was installed around the front steps entryway and the base of the breezeway and garage. This provided an elegant transition between the siding and the home’s foundation, enhancing both functionality and curb appeal. Moreover, these details protect vulnerable areas from moisture while adding polished, finished looks. As a result, the home’s exterior is both beautiful and built to last.
Final Touches
New white louvered shutters were placed in the existing shutter locations to maintain the home’s traditional aesthetic while updating its look. Moreover, these shutters add charm and enhance curb appeal without overwhelming the design. After the trim work, the gutters were reinstalled. Additionally, 148 feet of new white gutters, complete with downspouts, were added. This upgrade ensures efficient water drainage and protects the home’s exterior from moisture damage. Therefore, the combination of shutters and gutters perfectly balances style and function.
