James Hardie Siding & Harvey Windows in Maynard, MA

This exterior remodel in Maynard, MA combined a full siding replacement with new windows. The existing siding was fully stripped down to the sheathing (two layers of vinyl/aluminum and wood), sheathing was inspected for rot, and a new taped house wrap moisture barrier was installed before new cladding went on.

The whole house was re-clad in James Hardie fiber cement clapboards in the Cedarmill 6.25" profile, finished in Countrylane Red. Trim work included 5/4" x 4" square-edge PVC board around windows, doors and garage doors, 5 1/2" PVC corner posts with built-in pockets, vinyl Invisivent soffit, and aluminum-wrapped fascia. Added soffit airflow improves ventilation, and existing gutters were replaced with new downspouts.

Six windows were replaced with Harvey Classic replacement inserts. The mix included one awning and five double-hung units, several with Low-E double-pane glass and some with tempered glass (including a privacy bathroom window with safety lock). All units are white inside and out with half screens and standard hardware, re-cased in PVC trim, flashed and sealed. Debris was removed via an on-site dumpster supplied by the contractor.
