Minnetonka, MN James Hardie Heathered Moss Board & Batten with Portico Addition
Sometimes a home just needs the right design touches to bring out its full potential. For this split-level home in Minnetonka, MN, the Craftsman’s Choice team delivered a complete transformation with James Hardie board and batten siding in Heathered Moss and a striking new portico that redefined the entryway.
Updating the Entryway with a Portico
Before the renovation, the home had dated vertical siding and an exposed front door that lacked character and protection. As a leading Minnetonka siding contractor, Craftsman’s Choice knew that adding architectural detail at the entry could dramatically improve curb appeal. The new portico addition not only provides shelter from Minnesota’s unpredictable weather but also gives the home balance and dimension that was missing before.

The siding choice—Heathered Moss from James Hardie’s ColorPlus® collection—was the perfect complement. This earthy green shade ties the home beautifully to its wooded surroundings while offering long-term fade resistance and durability. By choosing James Hardie fiber cement siding, the homeowners gained peace of mind knowing their exterior can handle Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains, and summer sun without the constant upkeep of wood.
Why Craftsman’s Choice is Minnetonka’s Trusted Siding Contractor
To complete the project, we incorporated Hardie trim elements that highlight the clean lines of the board and batten siding and frame the new portico. The result is a home that feels both timeless and refreshed—proof of how siding and thoughtful design enhancements can work together to elevate a property.
