This siding project in Needham, MA was finished in January 2022. A split-level home with charcoal gray lap siding on the upper floor over a fieldstone lower level, with black-framed windows and white trim; an interior view shows a new bay window with plantation shutters.
A mid-job photo shows the upper floor still in branded house wrap with a black-framed window already set into it, while charcoal lap siding is finished across the lower wall and around a sliding door. A close-up under the overhang shows a bow window opening with the header framing and pink insulation exposed above it and fieldstone wall on either side. Another interior frame shows that same bow window from inside, five sashes set and the sill installed, looking out across the front yard at the crew's truck and material. The last photo is tight on a bottom course, showing woodgrain texture and the white starter trim at grade.
The wrap-and-window sequence shows the walls were stripped to sheathing, wrapped, and the new units set into wrapped openings before any siding went up. The bow window required opening the header and re-insulating the pocket above the unit before trim went on. The fieldstone lower level was left untouched, with the siding starting on a white trim board directly above it.
Details visible in the photos include split-level facade, stone-clad lower level, black casement picture window. Materials on the elevation: fiber cement lap siding, white PVC trim, black-framed windows, fieldstone veneer.
Specified here: James Hardie, Marvin. The finish shown is Iron Gray (closest manufacturer match). The same crew that started the project finished it. The site was cleared at the end of each working day rather than only at the end of the job.
