Project Overview
This exterior remodeling project in Eden Prairie, Minnesota transformed a home with aging wood siding into a low-maintenance, high-performance exterior built for Minnesota’s demanding climate.
The original wood siding required regular upkeep and had begun to show its age. To give the home a fresh, updated appearance while improving long-term durability, the homeowners selected James Hardie® fiber cement lap siding in Heathered Moss. This soft green-gray color complements the home’s mature landscaping and blends beautifully with the surrounding neighborhood.
To complete the transformation, new James Hardie® soffit, fascia, and trim were installed in Arctic White. The crisp white accents create clean lines and contrast against the Heathered Moss siding, giving the home a bright, timeless appearance.
The combination of James Hardie® Heathered Moss siding and Arctic White trim delivers a classic, low-maintenance exterior designed for lasting performance. This Eden Prairie home now offers improved curb appeal, enhanced protection from the elements, and long-term durability homeowners can count on.
