Plymouth, MN James Hardie Woodstock Brown Lap Siding with Board and Batten and Cultured Stone Accents
When these Plymouth homeowners decided it was time to refresh their exterior, they wanted more than just new siding — they wanted a complete transformation that would reflect their style while holding up to Minnesota’s harsh climate. Their original siding had begun to fade, and the dated brick on the front of the home no longer matched the look they envisioned. That’s when they turned to Craftsman’s Choice, Plymouth’s trusted James Hardie siding contractor.
For the main body, the homeowners chose James Hardie Lap Siding in Woodstock Brown, a warm, earthy tone that adds sophistication and blends naturally with the surrounding landscape. To enhance the design, our team incorporated board and batten accents, bringing vertical lines and architectural interest that break up large wall spaces and highlight the home’s features.
“Craftsman’s Choice blended lap siding, board and batten, and cultured stone to create a durable exterior with custom design.”
A major design upgrade came from replacing the original brick with cultured stone. The stone accents provided a more modern, upscale appearance while pairing beautifully with the rich Woodstock Brown siding. This combination of fiber cement and cultured stone created both contrast and texture, giving the exterior a truly custom look.
Of course, the improvements go deeper than design. Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and humid summers demand materials that can perform year after year. Unlike wood or vinyl, James Hardie siding resists rot, pests, and fading, ensuring these homeowners will enjoy lasting protection with minimal upkeep. The cultured stone is equally durable, adding timeless style without the maintenance of traditional brick or natural stone.
This Plymouth project shows how thoughtful design and quality materials can completely transform a home. With James Hardie Woodstock Brown lap siding, board and batten accents, and cultured stone details, these homeowners now have a durable, modern exterior that will turn heads for years to come.
