HardiePlank Lap Siding in Davis, CA 95618
In Davis, this home traded its aging exterior for crisp HardiePlank lap siding in Pearl Gray, framed by clean Arctic White trim for a contrast that reads modern but won't date. We re-clad the home with new fiber-cement siding, replacing worn trims around every door, window, and corner along the way. The new fiber-cement skin pairs with a fresh set of energy-efficient windows for a look that's tighter and more weather-ready than what came before.
Our crew tore off the existing siding and trims down to the studs, then built the wall assembly back up to James Hardie specifications. That started with HardieWrap weather barrier across the exterior walls, Forti-Flash rubberized flashing at each window and door opening, and metal Z-flashing to direct water away from the joints. The James Hardie Statement Collection ColorPlus lap siding went on in Pearl Gray, finished with 5/4-by-4 HardieTrim in Arctic White at the openings and corners. With the walls open, we inspected the framing and handled dry rot repairs where the wood had decayed, including replacing a post and beam at the rear of the property to restore structural support.
For the glass, we installed four Anlin Catalina new-construction windows plus one slider, all built with the Infinit-e three-layer Low-E coating and argon gas fill for better summer and winter performance. The eaves, fascia, garage door, and foundation were painted to tie the finished exterior together, and downspouts and house numbers were reinstalled once the siding was complete.
