New siding for a hillside home
We re-sided this two-story home with a daylight basement on the hillside between Twisp and Winthrop. The original cedar shiplap had weathered and rotted, so we tore it all off and started fresh.
The new exterior is fire-resistant Hardie lap siding, factory-painted in the owners’ choice of color, over painted metal board-and-batten wainscoting. We painted the Hardie trim the same color as the siding so it blends in. Along the way we replaced four windows and two entry doors on the sunroom, and cased out all of the sunroom windows in Hardie trim.
