Eagan, MN Aged Pewter James Hardie Board and Stucco Rehab
When remodeling a home’s exterior, the true condition of what’s underneath often isn’t revealed until the old materials come off. That was exactly the case with this Eagan home. The original stucco on the front façade appeared tired, but once our Craftsman’s Choice crew began the removal process, we uncovered significant hidden damage. Water infiltration had caused deterioration behind the stucco — an issue that would have only worsened if left untreated. Our team made the necessary repairs to restore a solid, weather-tight foundation before moving forward with the new exterior.
The sides and back of the home told another story. There, faded and weathered vinyl siding had endured years of Minnesota’s sun, snow, and storms. The discolored panels offered little curb appeal and even less protection. Replacing them with James Hardie fiber cement siding in Aged Pewter provided a fresh, timeless look backed by unmatched durability. This neutral gray tone complements nearly any home style and ensures lasting beauty without the fading issues common to vinyl.
To elevate the curb appeal even further, our team installed custom cedar gable brackets on the front of the home. These handcrafted details brought warmth and character, contrasting beautifully against the sleek Aged Pewter siding. The natural wood brackets added architectural interest while highlighting the home’s peaks, giving the exterior a unique, welcoming touch.
This project showcases what Craftsman’s Choice does best: addressing unexpected issues with the right solutions, while also adding thoughtful design upgrades that make each home stand out. With hidden damage repaired, outdated vinyl removed, and James Hardie Aged Pewter siding accented by custom cedar gable brackets, this Eagan home is now built to perform and designed to impress.
