Project Overview
This Maple Grove home had an exterior that no longer fit the homeowners’ needs or style. The cedar siding had become weathered and difficult to maintain, while the dated brick felt out of place and tired. The homeowners turned to Craftsman’s Choice, Maple Grove’s trusted James Hardie siding contractor, for a durable solution that would also give their home a fresh, modern look.
Our team installed James Hardie lap siding in Timber Bark, a rich, earthy brown that provides warmth and sophistication. To add contrast and character, the siding was paired with Countrylane Red trim, a bold James Hardie color that frames the architecture and makes the details pop. For additional texture and depth, the old brick was removed and replaced with cultured stone accents, blending beautifully with the Timber Bark siding while giving the home an upscale, natural touch.
Beyond aesthetics, the upgrade was about long-term performance. James Hardie siding is engineered for Minnesota’s climate, resisting damage from freeze-thaw cycles, humidity, and pests. The Countrylane Red trim and cultured stone accents not only enhance design but also provide low-maintenance durability for years to come.
The finished result is a Maple Grove home that feels both timeless and unique. By replacing weathered cedar siding and outdated brick with James Hardie Timber Bark siding, Countrylane Red trim, and cultured stone, Craftsman’s Choice created an exterior transformation built to last.
