Eden Prairie Home Gets a Fresh Look with James Hardie Night Gray Lap Siding
This Eden Prairie home received a striking exterior transformation with James Hardie Night Gray lap siding accented by Monterey Taupe shakes and trim. The homeowners wanted a modern, updated look that would also stand up to Minnesota’s tough climate. Their cedar siding had reached the end of it’s life and was no longer holding paint. By combining these complementary James Hardie colors, we created an exterior that is both bold and balanced.
The Night Gray HardiePlank lap siding forms the main body of the home, delivering a rich, contemporary style that boosts curb appeal. To add warmth and character, Monterey Taupe shakes were installed in the gables. Matching Monterey Taupe trim frames the windows and rooflines, tying the design together with a clean, cohesive finish.
A Complete Exterior Solution
This project also features the James Hardie Complete Exterior™, which means every component—from siding to soffit and fascia—is built with James Hardie’s durable fiber cement products. By using Hardie soffit and fascia, the home achieves a seamless look with consistent color and finish across the entire exterior. Beyond aesthetics, these elements add critical protection, improving ventilation and ensuring long-lasting performance against Minnesota’s weather extremes.
