James Hardie Lap Siding Replacement in San Jose, CA 95135

The homeowners here wanted a crisp, modern exterior that would hold up to years of weather without constant upkeep, and the finished house delivers exactly that. We stripped the home down to the studs on the exterior, replaced the old siding and trim, and rebuilt the walls with a fiber cement system in Night Gray. Against that deeper tone, the bright Arctic White trim frames every window, door, and corner, giving this San Jose home a clean, defined look.

The siding is James Hardie ColorPlus Lap from the Statement Collection in Night Gray, installed over a full moisture-protection package: HardieWrap weather barrier across the walls, Forti-Flash rubberized flashing around the window and door openings, and metal z-flashing where it's needed. Trim work uses 5/4x4 ColorPlus boards in Arctic White on the openings and corners, with 5/4x6 trim wrapping the garage doors. As part of the tear-off we inspected the wall framing for dry rot and made the repairs we found before any new material went up, so the new siding sits on sound structure. To finish the look, our crew painted the eaves, fascia, garage doors, and foundation to tie the whole exterior together.
