Renovations: James Hardie Siding
When a homeowner in Riverton, New Jersey purchased her two-story colonial-style home—with its charming front-facing three-car garage—she saw potential behind its worn exterior. The house had two different types of deteriorating siding: aluminum that had oxidized into a chalky mess, and brittle vinyl that was detaching from the walls. It was clear the home needed a major update—not just to look better, but to stand the test of time.
That’s when she turned to Porter Family Exteriors for expert guidance and siding replacement.
Siding Consultation with 3D Design and Honest Advice
The homeowner wasn’t just looking for a quick fix—she wanted a lasting solution that would enhance curb appeal and add long-term value. During the first consultation, our team member Steve took detailed photos and uploaded them into our 3D Hover design software to kick off the design phase.
At the second meeting, we presented a comprehensive proposal, complete with pricing and a 3D rendering of her updated home. We also introduced her to James Hardie fiber cement siding, explaining its unmatched durability and how it compared to vinyl—not only in performance but in cost.
She appreciated the clear information and zero-pressure approach, ultimately choosing to invest in Hardie siding for her forever home.
Exterior Siding Installation Services Provided
Here’s what our siding team installed:
- Removed all existing aluminum and vinyl siding
- Installed James Hardie Cedarmill Lap siding in Timber Bark
- Installed James Hardie Smooth Board and Batten siding on the garage
- Installed James Hardie soffit and trim in white
The transformation was immediate—giving the home a fresh, modern look while providing the long-term durability the homeowner needed.
How We Handled Installation Challenges with Professionalism
As with many older homes, removing the original siding revealed a few surprises. In this case, we discovered foam board beneath the surface. We explained the issue and provided resheathing options, and the homeowner approved our recommended solution. Because our team acted quickly to source materials, the project stayed right on schedule.
Later, our crew accidentally struck a water line. Project Manager Matt Ott immediately took charge, arranging for a licensed plumber to make a same-day repair. The homeowner was impressed by how swiftly the issue was resolved—with minimal impact to the timeline.
