Wood Rot and Unsightly Siding Transformed with Beautiful and Low-Maintenance Hardie Siding
Location: Overland Park, KS
Renovations: James Hardie Siding, ProVia Windows, New Gutters
We’re thrilled to share the story of a project we completed in Overland Park, KS, that transformed a home into a stunning and low-maintenance abode.
When we first arrived at this residence, we noticed signs of wood rot that plagued the exterior. After conducting a thorough assessment, we discovered extensive wood rot that needed to be addressed before any improvements could take place. Additionally, the original windows showed signs of age and were in desperate need of an upgrade.
Finding the Perfect Solution
During our consultation process, we listened attentively to the homeowners’ concerns and aspirations. They were tired of constantly patching wood rot and dealing with the endless cycle of repainting. They longed for a siding solution that would require minimal upkeep and bring an end to their woodpecker woes. After thoughtful deliberation, we recommended James Hardie siding as the ideal solution.
We sat down with the homeowners and explained the benefits of James Hardie siding, including its durability, resistance to pests (like woodpeckers), and low maintenance requirements. After our discussion, the homeowners were convinced that Hardie siding was the right choice for their home.
Transforming the Exterior with Siding, Windows, & More
Safe Harbor Exteriors took pride in providing a comprehensive range of services to deliver a complete transformation for this story and a half home. Here’s a breakdown of what we did:
- James Hardie Siding: To combat wood rot and provide a long-lasting solution, we installed James Hardie 8.25 Cedarmill lap siding. The Arctic White color beautifully complemented the home’s existing charm and boosted its curb appeal.
- James Hardie Trim, Soffit, and Fascia: To achieve a cohesive and polished look, we installed matching James Hardie trim, soffit, and fascia in Midnight Black. Every detail was carefully executed to create a seamless and visually appealing exterior.
- ProVia Windows: We replaced the original windows with top-quality ProVia windows, ensuring improved energy efficiency and enhancing the home’s overall aesthetic.
- New Gutters: We also installed new gutters to ensure proper drainage and protect the home’s foundation.
- Finishing Touches: To bring the entire project together, we painted the foundation and brick to match the new exterior, resulting in a cohesive and harmonious look.
Throughout the process, we meticulously cut out and patched the wood rot with durable OSB board, ensuring a sturdy and reliable foundation for the new siding.

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.
