Plymouth, MN Cedar Siding Replacement with James Hardie Timber Bark and Cultured Stone
Cedar siding has long been a favorite in Minnesota, but over time it can become a major headache for homeowners. Between constant maintenance, fading stain, and persistent woodpecker damage, the upkeep often outweighs the charm. That was the case for this Plymouth, MN home, where the original cedar siding was showing its age and no longer protecting the home the way it should.
The homeowners turned to Craftsman’s Choice—Plymouth’s #1 James Hardie siding contractor—for a solution that would preserve the warm, natural look they loved while eliminating the hassles of wood maintenance. Our team recommended a combination of James Hardie HardiePlank lap siding in Timber Bark and cultured stone accents for a durable, timeless upgrade.
Timber Bark, with its deep, earthy tone, perfectly mimics the richness of natural wood but without the vulnerability to pests or weathering. Paired with stonework at the base of the home, the new exterior gained dimension and texture that gave it both character and permanence. To complete the project, we installed Hardie trim, soffit, and fascia, creating a unified exterior designed to stand up to Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and summer heat.
At Craftsman’s Choice, we’ve helped hundreds of Plymouth homeowners make the switch from cedar to James Hardie siding. Our experience ensures not only flawless installation but also guidance in creating a design that enhances each home’s unique style. This project is a perfect example of how the right combination of color and texture can transform a dated exterior into a modern, low-maintenance showpiece.
For Plymouth homeowners tired of battling woodpeckers and upkeep, James Hardie siding installed by Craftsman’s Choice is the proven solution.
