At this home in Westford, we replaced deteriorating Masonite siding with durable James Hardie plank lap siding, installed with HardieWrap® weather barrier and proper flashing to ensure long-term protection. The project included about 3.5 squares of siding in a horizontal lap orientation, carefully matched with existing trim details. To enhance durability, we also replaced window trims and sills with cellular PVC boards, complete with sill nosing for water run-off, stainless fasteners, and professional caulking. All siding was painted with premium exterior-grade coatings, while the trim can either stay white or be painted to match the home. With a 30-year James Hardie warranty and 5-year workmanship guarantee, this upgrade delivers both beauty and resilience for years to come.
