Siding Installation Seattle James Hardie

Seattle's Classic Craftsman Home

Step into the transformation of a timeless Craftsman-style home in Capitol Hill, Seattle. This project combines craftsmanship and design to restore its beauty. We’ve added window and column trim, a character-filled belly band, James Hardie plank lap siding, cedar shingles with weaved corners, and topped it off with two coats of durable exterior paint.

This isn’t just a renovation; it’s a revival. We’ve preserved its heritage while enhancing its timeless appeal.

Siding installation review in Bothell, WA

I got a lot of quotes on getting my house resided, before deciding on Exterior Crew, but the decision was nowhere near difficult. Most of the experiences I had with the other companies seemed unprofessional, or left me feeling like I was being misled. I also felt like Andrey explained things in the perfect amount of detail, and asked about my preferences. Everything about my experience with Exterior Crew was effortless, and every step of the way was a constant reminder and validation that I made the right decision. The job site was cleaned up everyday, and they were great about communicating about any issues along the way. They even voluntarily cleaned my gutters….for free! At the end of the project, the house looks great down to the last detail, and it ended up being less than the original quote.

Elevating exterior design with a sill belly band

We installed a 5/4x12 board with a 2x3 sill belly band around the entire house, as per the provided design. This serves to create a clear separation between the siding and shingles.

Picture-perfect finished exterior renovation

Before we paint, we don't skip essential steps. Our thorough process includes caulking, all necessary seam work, spackling, and sanding to ensure a flawless finish.

Curb appeal that revives tradition

Seattle's classic facade design with use of 5.25 James Hardie plank (smooth) with a 4" reveal and pre-primed cedar shingles featuring weaved corners.

Siding details that make difference

Beautiful entryway columns, wood-wrapped with pre-primed finger-joint clear cedar.

White trim added touch of timeless charm

The new exterior design, featuring classic white trim, beautifully complements the homeowner's tasteful landscaping.

Shingles with weaved corners

Shingles with weaved corners add an intriguing touch to the design, infusing it with a timeless twist. Pairing them with various siding types is a clever design choice.

Importance of caulking

Caulking insulates your home by sealing gaps that allow drafts and heat loss, ultimately reducing energy bills. Our Crew used Sikaflex caulking for this project.
