Project Specs
Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota
Siding Brand: James Hardie Dream Collection
Home Style: Historic 1890’s Home
Result: Preserved historic character with updated durability and modern color options
Project Overview
In Minneapolis, many homes carry deep history and architectural detail worth preserving. This 1890’s home in the city was no exception, but after more than a century of Minnesota weather, its exterior was ready for an update. The homeowners wanted to retain the timeless character of their historic house while making sure it was protected for generations to come. They partnered with Craftsman’s Choice for a Minneapolis siding remodel that blended preservation with performance.
The perfect solution was the James Hardie Dream Collection, which offers more than 700 colors in a factory-applied finish. This wide selection allowed the homeowners to choose a shade that stayed true to the home’s period architecture while refreshing its curb appeal. By using James Hardie’s fiber cement siding, the home now maintains its historic look without the maintenance demands of wood.
This remodel wasn’t just about appearance — it was also about ensuring long-term durability. James Hardie siding is engineered for Minnesota’s climate, standing up to freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and summer humidity. Unlike the original wood siding, which required constant upkeep, fiber cement siding provides low-maintenance performance while keeping the authentic character intact.
The Result
With this Minneapolis siding remodel, the 1890’s home now strikes the perfect balance between old and new. Craftsman’s Choice preserved its architectural charm while delivering the strength, color options, and reliability of James Hardie siding. It’s a transformation that ensures the home will remain a historic landmark in the neighborhood for decades to come.
