James Hardie Shingle Siding Installation in Mill Valley, CA 94941

James Hardie Color Plus shake siding gives this Mill Valley home the texture and weather resistance that suits its hillside setting, and that's exactly what our crew installed across the main house. The original stucco came off completely, and in its place went factory-finished Hardie shingle panels in Pearl Gray with crisp Arctic White trim. The result is a layered, shake-style exterior built to hold up to the fog, sun, and damp swings this part of Marin County sees.

Working on the high walls and hard-to-reach areas, we set up the proper safety staging before tearing off the existing stucco and hauling it away. With the walls open, our team inspected the framing and replaced any dry rot, repairing damaged sheathing with exterior-grade OSB for solid backing. We wrapped the home in HardieWrap weather barrier, sealed every window and door opening with Forti-Flash rubberized flashing, and added metal z-flashing for permanent moisture protection. From there came the Pearl Gray Hardie shake siding and 5/4-by-4 Color Plus trim in smooth Arctic White around openings and corners, finished off by painting the eaves, fascia, and foundation along the perimeter.
