Safe Harbor Exteriors completed a transformative siding replacement and chimney restoration project for a homeowner in Shawnee, addressing structural concerns while enhancing the home’s appearance. The existing vinyl siding had deteriorated over time, allowing moisture to seep in and cause wood rot. Additionally, the chimney suffered from an improperly sized case cover, leading to further water damage.
The homeowner sought a durable, attractive solution to protect their property, and Safe Harbor Exteriors delivered with a custom plan featuring James Hardie siding.
Siding Replacement with Lasting Benefits
To provide long-term durability, Safe Harbor Exteriors installed James Hardie fiber cement siding, a material known for its resistance to moisture, pests, and extreme weather conditions. The homeowner selected a 7-inch exposure lap siding in Rich Espresso, accented with Arctic White trim. This combination not only modernized the home’s curb appeal but also added resilience against future damage.
During the process, the team discovered extensive wood rot behind the old siding. The Safe Harbor Exteriors crew carefully removed the damaged materials and replaced them with new, stable sheathing before securing the James Hardie siding.
Enhancing the Home’s Exterior with Chimney Restoration & More
A key aspect of this project was addressing the chimney’s water intrusion issues. The original case cover was too small, allowing moisture to enter and deteriorate the framing. Safe Harbor Exteriors installed a properly sized case cover and replaced the damaged chimney sheathing and framing to restore its strength. With the structure reinforced, the new James Hardie siding was installed, ensuring lasting protection.
Beyond siding replacement and chimney restoration, the project also included updates to the fascia and soffit. Additionally, the team refreshed the front stucco with a fresh coat of paint, creating a cohesive and polished finish.
With a combination of top-tier materials and skilled craftsmanship, Safe Harbor Exteriors successfully delivered a home transformation that not only looks stunning but also provides long-term durability.
