The Pelican Point neighborhood on Lake Minnetonka had reached a turning point. After thirty years, the cedar siding on the homes was cracked, weathered, and in need of constant repair. It aged the community and no longer reflected the beauty of its lakeside setting.
The Homeowners Association knew it needed more than a patchwork fix. The siding had to go, and a stronger, longer-lasting solution was required. That’s when the board selected Craftsman’s Choice to bring new life to the neighborhood.
Our team recommended James Hardie® siding and trim products engineered for Minnesota’s extreme weather and resistant to woodpecker damage. The Statement Collection® with ColorPlus® Technology provided both durability and consistent, elegant finishes that could never be matched with traditional painting.
Today, Pelican Point has been completely transformed. The homes are refreshed, the character of the community preserved, and homeowners now enjoy the confidence that comes with top-quality products backed by industry-leading warranties.
To begin the process, we used weather-tested, durable and high-quality James Hardie home products to ensure this home never looked like the before photo ever again. The home practically sings with its fresh HardiePlank siding in the gorgeous, bold color of Deep Ocean. We complemented the siding beautifully with fresh, sturdy trim in Navajo Beige and added stunning, unique accents of deep red gable details.
One goal of this project was to keep the existing look of the home while upgrading to a material that wasn’t going to need constant maintenance. James Hardie Siding fits solved this issue due to it’s durability and authentic look.
Another goal these homeowners, was to find a company for the installation that was familiar with older homes and wouldn’t be startled by the common surprises that present themselves when working on older homes.
The cedar siding on the Pelican Point neighborhood homes had reached the end of its lifespan. Boards were cracked, weathered, and costly to maintain. The goal was to upgrade the homes with a durable product that maintained the community’s architectural character while protecting against Minnesota’s extreme climate and woodpecker damage.
The Pelican Point Homeowners Association appointed an Architecture Committee to evaluate siding options. After careful review, the committee selected James Hardie® fiber cement siding for its durability, warranty, and design versatility. Craftsman’s Choice guided the community through color and style choices to ensure the updated look fit seamlessly into the lakeside setting.
The cedar siding was replaced with James Hardie® Statement Collection® products featuring ColorPlus® Technology. The factory-applied finish ensured long-lasting, fade-resistant color with a consistent, elegant appearance. The newly installed James Hardie siding gave the homes a fresh, modern look while staying true to the community’s original character.
Homeowners were pleased with the results, citing durability, aesthetics, and peace of mind with Hardie’s 30-year non-prorated warranty and 15-year finish warranty. “The Statement Collection® is very elegant,” said Sue-Ann Pirsch, Architecture Committee Chair. “It makes me proud that it looks so good and turned out so well. I know it’s going to be here for many, many years.”
