Old vinyl siding was simply taken down and James Hardie installed. Kept the existing soffit and fascia, but all door and windows casings have been redone. But what's a huge difference! Even the shed and pool house got new siding. ⠀Cable railing systems combined with Trex decking can deliver a nice modern look to any style of the house, especially a large colonial home like this one. In addition to new siding, it makes us feel proud of what was done.
