Hardie plank and stucco
Comments (27)This is a small house. The right elevation depicts a living room window, master shower and 2nd floor bedroom. Small lot with homes on either side so I wasn't too concerned with the look of the sides. Agree, elevations aren't detailed enough. The builder and I acknowledge that. House is southern facing on small lot and we actually do have many homes with dark roofs here in FL. I'm definitely not using stucco panels. It will be the "usual" stucco typically used in FL. How about a medium toned brick on the front, say near or at the botttom of the window line, stucco above that and then Hardie above the front porch? Then with the stucco sides it wouldn't be such a drastic switch from all Hardie front to then stucco sides?...See MoreExterior Siding Dilemma (James Hardie Arctic White vs. another option)
Comments (41)Would love to hear from anyone who used a white from the Hardie “dream collection”…I’m renovating a colonial and want a true white. The arctic white is very popular where I live and it definitely appears gray, especially next to white Azek trim and it’s not the e look I’m going for....See MoreHardie siding colours to go with existing stone & brick - help!
Comments (13)Was not suggesting you clad the brick at all -- just paint it, which is relatively cheap. My other suggestion was to eliminate one of the siding choices on the front (Thereby saving some $). In so much as I can see the right colors better on my monitor and it appears that you like blue, my opinion was that w/the absence of the yellow brick you the darker of the blues would work w/the stone. My comment about the timber ark was related to the question you asked of me earlier when on my iPad it looked as though you had posted brown (timberbark), white, and gray -- thus illustrating the point I attempted to make earlier about the distortion of color in this medium. Again, good luck....See MoreMixing Vinyl with Hardie
Comments (10)Hardie Board Siding Cost vs LP Smart Side One of the biggest reasons many builders and homeowners choose LP over Hardie Plank siding is the significant cost difference. Across the US, Smartside is about 25-35% cheaper than Hardie. This difference amounts to thousands of dollars! LP is cheaper because both the materials and labor cost less than James Hardie. On average, Hardie siding costs about $7-9.5/sq.ft. installed, where as LP costs about $5.5 – 7.5 per sq.ft. installed.
