The homeowner’s charming single-story cedar-sided home in Bloomington, IN had become a favorite target for woodpeckers and carpenter bees, leaving the exterior damaged and unsightly. Seeking a durable, long-term solution that would maintain the natural, wood-like aesthetic of their home, they turned to JD Hostetter & Associates for help.
A Collaborative Plan for Beautiful Long-Lasting Siding
We began with a detailed, on-site walkthrough to assess the damage and listen to the homeowner’s vision for their property. Their primary concern was finding a material that would eliminate the pest problems while preserving the wood-like appearance of their home.
JD Hostetter stood out by recommending James Hardie Select Cedarmill Lap Siding with a custom stain in Brazilian Cherry. Our expert knowledge of James Hardie products and their ColorPlus technology allowed us to provide a solution that was both beautiful and built to last.
Bringing the Cabin Vision to Life with Pest-Resistant Siding Replacement
To address the homeowner’s needs, we delivered a comprehensive exterior transformation:
- Siding Removal & Preparation:
We removed the damaged cedar siding and covered the home with James Hardie moisture barrier house wrap for superior protection against the elements. - New Siding Installation:
We installed James Hardie Select Cedarmill Lap Siding, expertly stained in Brazilian Cherry for a rich, natural look. This premium siding not only mimics the appearance of real wood but also resists pests, rot, and weather damage. - Trim & Detailing:
We used Boral trim boards to comply with warranty requirements in areas requiring grade-level clearance, such as decks, driveways, and porches. - Custom Features:
The fascia and gutters were updated to complete the home’s cohesive, polished appearance.
The once-damaged exterior was transformed into a warm and inviting retreat, reminiscent of a cozy cabin. The homeowner’s vision of maintaining a natural aesthetic while solving their pest problems was brought to life with precision and care.
