James Hardie Siding & Anlin Catalina Windows in Mill Valley, CA 94941
Working at height on this Mill Valley home meant our crew leaned on the access skills we've built over the years - setting up safe staging on the tall walls and hard-to-reach sections so every course of siding went on straight and tight. Before any new material went up, we inspected the wall framing for dry rot and made repairs where decayed members showed up, since that groundwork is what keeps a siding job sound for decades. The result is a clean, even exterior in Mountain Sage that wraps the whole house and the detached garage, finished with crisp Arctic White trim.
We installed James Hardie ColorPlus lap siding from the Statement Collection in Mountain Sage, a fiber cement system engineered for this zip code's climate and rated WUI-compliant for the area. The walls were first papered with HardieWrap weather barrier, and every window and door opening got a Forti-Flash rubberized flashing system for permanent moisture protection. Openings and corners were detailed with 5/4-by-4 Hardie ColorPlus trim in Arctic White, and we set SturdiMount mounting blocks at the light fixtures, outlets, vents, and piping for flush, professional terminations. Anlin Catalina windows went in alongside the siding to sharpen the look and tighten up energy efficiency.
To finish, we painted the eaves, fascia, and foundation along the home's perimeter - including the garage doors - then reinstalled the downspouts and house numbers and cleared all debris from the site.
