Safe Harbor Banishes Wood Rot on Kansas City Area Home

Location: Kansas City, MO
Renovations: James Hardie Siding, Fascia, Soffit, New 6” gutters, New Entry Door, Painted Stucco on Front of House
A Kansas City, MO resident noticed that his two-story home was beginning to show severe wear and tear from the area’s harsh winters and wet summers. The wood rot and peeling paint were hurting his home’s curb appeal and jeopardized its structural integrity. His daughter had employed Safe Harbor Exteriors and was pleased with the results, so he contacted our team to craft a plan to overhaul his home’s exterior.
Low-Maintenance James Hardie Siding Prevents Future Damage
We began with our thorough process that included assessing our client’s home and discussing his current concerns as well as his wish list for his overhauled exterior. The Kansas City resident was wavering about whether to replace just the sections with wood rot and peeling paint or completely replace the siding. After discussing the benefits of James Hardie fiber cement siding with the Safe Harbor Exteriors team, he opted for a total siding replacement.
In addition to its gorgeous curb appeal and an array of styles, James Hardie siding is extremely durable and low-maintenance. James Hardie also employs a unique process of studying the long-term impact of regional weather on siding. This HardieZone system means we installed siding that is especially well-suited to withstand Kansas City’s harsh weather conditions on our client’s home.
Topping it Off With New Soffit, Fascia, and Entry Door
Upon examination, we also discovered that his door had wood rot and needed to be replaced. In addition to new siding and the door, we installed new fascia and soffits, 6-inch gutters, two new window sills, and 2 x 6 cedar trim. We further freshened the home’s exterior by repainting the stucco on the front of the house.
A Beautiful, Low-Maintenance Home Exterior

Our client loved his updated home exterior and is especially pleased that he won’t have to constantly paint and repair the exterior.
At Safe Harbor Exteriors, we pride ourselves on our expert craftsmanship, attentive customer service, and no-pressure sales approach so you can make the right decision for your home and budget.

Reviews
We talked to multiple companies while deciding who to use for the exterior of our home. Safe Harbor was transparent, fast, and offered James Hardie siding compared to all the other companies only offering vinyl. Safe Harbor was much more affordable than many of the other companies, who just wanted as much money as possible. We are extremely happy with our siding, soffit, fascia, flashing, gutters, windows and the guarantee that comes with their work. If there was any more work to be performed, without a doubt, we would chose safe Harbor again.
Safe Harbor installed James Hardie siding, soffits, and gutters. The install was meticulous and our home was left cleaner than when the company showed up. The level of detail in the install was beyond expectation! We are so pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the install team!
