Project Overview
The original siding on this Maple Grove home had reached the end of its lifespan, leaving the exterior faded and underwhelming. The homeowners wanted to refresh their home with a design that made a statement while being low-maintenance and weather-resistant.
Our team recommended James Hardie lap siding in Rich Espresso, a deep, rich brown from the James Hardie Statement Collection. This dramatic color instantly modernized the home, creating warmth and sophistication. To complete the look, we paired it with contrasting trim to highlight windows, rooflines, and architectural details.
Beyond its bold style, the homeowners gained peace of mind knowing their new siding is engineered for Minnesota’s climate. James Hardie siding resists moisture, pests, and the freeze-thaw cycles that can quickly damage other materials like wood or vinyl. Its baked-on ColorPlus® finish keeps the Rich Espresso shade vibrant for years without fading.
The result is a home that stands out in the neighborhood for all the right reasons. By upgrading to James Hardie Rich Espresso lap siding with crisp trim accents, Craftsman’s Choice delivered both durability and lasting curb appeal.
