Project Overview
For this Chanhassen home, the original vinyl siding had reached the end of its lifespan. After years of exposure to Minnesota’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles, the panels had become brittle, warped, and discolored. Vinyl may offer a quick, budget-friendly solution when new, but it simply doesn’t hold up against decades of snow, ice, heat, and humidity. The homeowners knew it was time for a long-term upgrade and turned to Craftsman’s Choice, the trusted Chanhassen siding contractor specializing in James Hardie installations.
To give the home a fresh yet timeless look, our team installed James Hardie fiber cement siding in Navajo Beige. This warm, neutral shade is one of James Hardie’s most versatile colors, complementing a variety of home styles and landscaping. For contrast, the homeowners chose Khaki Brown trim, which frames the architecture beautifully and adds a touch of sophistication to the design.
Beyond aesthetics, this project was all about durability. Unlike vinyl, James Hardie siding is engineered to withstand Minnesota’s climate. It resists rotting, cracking, and fading, and it won’t become brittle in the cold. The ColorPlus® Technology finish ensures that the Navajo Beige siding will retain its rich color for years with minimal upkeep.
With their new James Hardie exterior, these Chanhassen homeowners now have peace of mind knowing their siding is built to last — and curb appeal that makes their home stand out. By replacing worn vinyl with fiber cement siding and crisp Khaki Brown trim, Craftsman’s Choice delivered an exterior transformation that combines beauty, performance, and long-term value.
