James Hardie Siding Installation in San Rafael, CA 94903

The exterior of this San Rafael home reads crisp and clean now in Arctic White, a sharp change from the worn siding it replaced. We installed James Hardie fiber cement lap siding from the Statement Collection as a layover, wrapping the main house in a durable, low-maintenance shell that brightens the whole facade. The white ColorPlus finish carries across the walls and ties into freshly painted eaves, fascia, garage doors, and foundation for a uniform look.

Before any siding went up, our crew set up safety rigging to reach the high walls and harder-to-access areas, then opened up and inspected the wall framing for hidden dry rot and made the structural repairs we found. We layered the home with HardieWrap weather barrier and added Forti-Flash rubberized flashing around every window and door opening, plus metal z-flashing, to keep moisture out of the wall assembly. The HardiePlank lap siding was finished in Arctic White, and we wrapped each opening and corner in James Hardie ColorPlus 5/4-by-4 trim, with 5/4-by-6 trim detailing the three-car garage doors.
