“My Siding Is Rotting. What Are My Options?”
When this Indianapolis homeowner started noticing rotted wood siding and visible woodpecker damage across the exterior, they knew a patch job would not cut it. The damage had gone past the surface, and the home was starting to look worn in a way that raised real questions about what was happening underneath.
This is a common situation for Indianapolis homeowners with older wood siding: a home that once looked great is now quietly losing ground to rot, pests, and years of exposure to Indiana’s weather.
Rotted Wood, Woodpecker Damage, and a Siding System That Could Not Keep Up
The homeowners reached out to JD Hostetter & Associates with a clear problem: their wood siding was rotted in multiple areas, and woodpeckers had caused additional damage on top of it. They wanted a replacement that would solve the underlying issue for good, not just cover it up, and they wanted a straightforward process without a lot of back and forth on design decisions.
Why This Indianapolis Homeowner Chose JD Hostetter & Associates
Based on the specific issues they were facing, the homeowners felt JD Hostetter & Associates offered the best fit and value for the solution they needed.
The consultation process included:
- A design walkthrough using Hover, so the homeowners could see the finished look before work began
- A list of nearby addresses with previously installed siding, used as real-world color and style references
James Hardie Siding Built for This Indianapolis Home
JD Hostetter & Associates installed James Hardie fiber cement siding, along with new fascia and a full exterior paint job. Fiber cement siding was chosen specifically because it stands up to the rot and pest damage that had worn down the original wood siding, giving the home a durable, low-maintenance exterior built for what Indiana’s seasons bring.
How the Project Came Together
Once the crew got into the work, some of the wood boards turned out to be more deeply rotted than expected. Addressing that damage properly took additional time and materials, but the team worked through it to make sure the repair was done right rather than covered up.
A Refreshed Look This Indianapolis Family Loves
With the rotted, woodpecker-damaged siding replaced by James Hardie fiber cement, this Indianapolis home has a completely updated appearance. The homeowners were thrilled with the transformation, and they now have an exterior built to hold up against Indiana’s weather for years to come, without the maintenance headaches that came with their old wood siding.
