Exterior Renovation
Wood Siding Replacement
James Hardie Siding Installation
Window Aluminum Capping
Vinyl Soffit and Fascia Capping
For this featured exterior renovation in Gladwyne, PA, Porter Family Exteriors helped update a home with old wood siding that the homeowner no longer wanted to maintain.
The goal was to give the home a cleaner, lower maintenance exterior while keeping the look consistent with the existing stone and historic style. Porter Family Exteriors removed the old wood siding and installed James Hardie siding in Arctic White to create a brighter, more polished finish.
Replacing Old Wood Siding With James Hardie
Old wood siding can give a home a classic look, but it often comes with regular upkeep, including painting, repairs, and ongoing maintenance. For this Gladwyne home, the homeowner wanted a more practical option that still looked natural with the home’s exterior.
The new Arctic White James Hardie siding helped refresh the home without taking away from its traditional character. It also paired well with the stone, giving the exterior a clean and balanced look.
This siding replacement helped improve curb appeal while reducing the maintenance that came with the older wood siding.
Project Scope and Cost
For this Gladwyne exterior renovation, Porter Family Exteriors completed several updates designed to match the home’s historic style while giving the exterior a more finished look.
- Siding and Window Capping, approximately $40,000: This included removal of the old wood siding, installation of Arctic White James Hardie siding, and new aluminum capping on the windows in the siding areas.
- Soffit and Fascia, approximately $8,500: This included new vinyl soffit and aluminum fascia capping for the entire house to complete the exterior update.
Project pricing can vary depending on the size of the home, material choices, trim details, window capping, soffit and fascia needs, and any underlying repair issues found during the project. If a home has moisture concerns or aging exterior wall systems, Porter Family Exteriors may also review whether stucco remediation is needed as part of the larger exterior plan.
The Final Result
The finished project gave this Gladwyne home a cleaner, brighter, and more refined exterior. The Arctic White James Hardie siding worked well with the existing stone, while the new window capping, vinyl soffit, and aluminum fascia capping helped complete the look.
The homeowner now has an updated exterior that is easier to maintain and still fits the historic style of the home.
This project is a good example of how a thoughtful exterior renovation can improve a home without making it feel out of place.
