James Hardie in Waterboro, ME, York County | Portland–South Portland–Biddeford, Maine Metropolitan Statistical Area
Dulled and dented aluminum siding no longer protected this Waterboro home the way it once had. Outdated siding made the home feel colder during long Maine winters, and summer heat lingered long after sunset. They knew it was time to make an upgrade, and their final decision landed them on James Hardie–a quality fiber cement exterior installed by Coastal Windows & Exteriors, a James Hardie Elite Preferred Contractor and Service Excellence Award-Winner.

Project Spotlight: Inside Look on James Hardie Installation
Why did the siding get updated to James Hardie?
The homeowners upgraded from aluminum siding because it was prone to denting, fading, and lacked proper insulation, leading to drafts and higher energy bills. Unlike aluminum, James Hardie siding resists damage from impacts, holds its color longer, and provides superior weather resistance and energy efficiency—making it a durable, low-maintenance choice for their home.
How does James Hardie siding handle New England’s extreme weather?
Aluminum siding often struggles in New England’s extreme weather, denting from hail and warping with temperature swings. James Hardie siding, on the other hand, is engineered to resist cracking, swelling, and fading. It holds up against freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rain, and even snow, providing long-lasting protection without compromising its stunning appearance.
How does James Hardie siding boost curb appeal and value?
With custom color options like Night Gray paired with Arctic White trim, homeowners can create a head-turning look. Combine that with its 121% return on investment in New England, and it’s a win-win for beauty and value.
Why did you add PVC trim to the doors?
The new PVC trim enhances water resistance and provides a clean, polished look to complement the siding’s sleek finish. It’s the perfect finishing touch for a cohesive and stylish exterior.
