Project Overview
When this Coon Rapids homeowner decided it was time for an exterior upgrade, they wanted more than just a color change — they wanted a transformation that reflected their style while offering lasting protection. That’s why they partnered with Craftsman’s Choice, the trusted Coon Rapids siding contractor specializing in James Hardie products.
During the renovation, our team also removed the home’s old stucco façade, which had begun to show signs of cracking and moisture concerns. Stucco can be especially vulnerable in Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, often leading to hidden damage beneath the surface. By carefully taking off the stucco and replacing it with James Hardie Dream Collection siding, we ensured this Coon Rapids home not only looked refreshed but also gained long-term protection against the elements. Choosing an experienced Coon Rapids siding contractor was key to handling this transition correctly and preventing future issues.
For the main siding, the homeowners selected a custom shade from the James Hardie Dream Collection. With over 700 color choices, the Dream Collection makes it possible to achieve a truly personalized look. Paired with Autumn Tan trim, the new design highlights the home’s architectural lines with warmth and balance.
Beyond curb appeal, durability was key. Minnesota’s weather puts every home exterior to the test, and this project was no exception. By working with a James Hardie Elite Preferred Remodeler, these homeowners gained siding that resists rotting, warping, pests, and fading. Choosing Craftsman’s Choice as their Coon Rapids siding contractor meant peace of mind knowing the installation would be done right and built to last.
The result is a home that stands out in the neighborhood with a custom color palette while remaining protected for decades to come. By blending the endless design possibilities of the James Hardie Dream Collection with expert installation, Craftsman’s Choice delivered another exterior success story in Coon Rapids.
