8 ¼” James Hardie® Primed Lap Siding with Primed White Trim, Belly Bands | Painted Country Lane Red with Sherwin-Williams® Resilience® + Custom Yellow Entry Door

This bold and timeless transformation features 8 ¼” James Hardie® Primed Cedarmill Lap Siding installed with primed 5/4×4 white trim and 5/4×8 belly bands — a signature Pacific Northwest finish elevated by a stunning Country Lane Red exterior, professionally painted using Sherwin-Williams® Resilience®. The project was topped off with a cheerful yellow front door, creating a high-contrast, high-impact entryway that draws the eye and boosts curb appeal.

Our team at Alpine Exteriors began by removing the home’s aging cladding, which had become weathered and susceptible to moisture penetration. Once stripped, we inspected the sheathing for soft spots or hidden damage and installed James Hardie HardieWrap® weather barrier, which acts as a first line of defense against wind-driven rain, trapped moisture, and air leaks.

The new fiber cement lap siding was installed using precise, manufacturer-approved methods by our James Hardie Elite Preferred team, ensuring tight reveals, clean seams, and code-compliant flashing at every transition. The architectural belly bands break up the vertical height of the home and provide timeless, craftsman-inspired lines.

To complete the transformation, the entire exterior was painted with Sherwin-Williams® Resilience® — a premium exterior paint formulated to resist fading, cracking, and mildew while offering excellent coverage and fast curing in damp environments. The Country Lane Red color adds warmth, depth, and vintage charm, while the sunny yellow door delivers a pop of personality and balance.

✔️ Every detail — from framing to finish — was completed with performance, longevity, and visual impact in mind.

This isn’t just a paint-and-go project — it’s a fully rebuilt exterior envelope designed to last in Washington’s unpredictable weather. With a durable siding system, water-managed WRB, premium paint, and custom design touches, this home now turns heads and defends against the elements.

⚠️ Cheap paint and basic siding won’t stand up to the Pacific Northwest climate. Alpine Exteriors delivers full-system, high-performance solutions that not only look amazing but protect your investment year after year.
