James Hardie® Dream Collection™ Lap Siding in Burnt Toffee with Burly Brown Trim | Rich Earth-Toned Exterior with Premium Factory Finish

This bold and warm-toned exterior remodel features premium James Hardie® Dream Collection™ Lap Siding in the rich, caramel-toned Burnt Toffee, accented with deep Burly Brown trim for a grounded, earthy, and high-end aesthetic. The result is a home that feels both modern and organic — perfectly suited for the natural landscapes of Washington State.

The Dream Collection™ offers an expanded color palette with over 700 ColorPlus® finishes, and this project highlights just how impactful that customization can be. The factory-finished Burnt Toffee siding and Burly Brown 5/4×4 trim were chosen to create visual warmth and depth, all while providing the long-term durability and fade resistance that only ColorPlus® Technology can offer.

As always, the Alpine Exteriors crew started by removing the previous siding and evaluating the sheathing for damage or signs of water intrusion. Once prepped, we wrapped the home in James Hardie’s HardieWrap® weather barrier, ensuring optimal moisture control and air sealing before siding installation began.

✔️ This home is now fully protected with a color-locked, weatherproof exterior system — installed to James Hardie Elite Preferred standards, backed by product warranties, and designed to last through rain, sun, wind, and time.

The rich brown-on-brown color pairing makes a strong design statement, while the baked-on ColorPlus® finish eliminates the need for field painting or constant touch-ups. This is low-maintenance, high-performance design at its best.

⚠️ Field painting ages fast. Dream Collection ColorPlus® siding delivers long-lasting, designer-level finishes straight from the factory. Alpine Exteriors is one of the few local teams certified to install these advanced products with precision and warranty support.

Owner's Testimonial

Alpine Siding was enthusiastic about installing James Hardie Colorplus Dream collection pre-painted siding and trim. This was totally unlike the other contractors contacted who whined that it was too difficult, that they never did it that way, and that they would chip and mar the concrete siding during installation so much that the entire project would have to be painted anyway. Alpine Sidings installers did a fast, professional job. They not only nailed the trim pieces together, they glued them together as well. They carefully handled the product so that there was very little touchup. Plus, we had had a new deck and railings installed the year prior, and the workers were very careful not to scratch these. One corner of our house had some rot problems. The crew tore it apart, replaced the bad wood with no additional charge. Andrey, the project manager, kept us fully informed every step of the way. Our house now looks fabulous. I highly recommend these professionals.

⚠️ Homeowners beware: siding failures and paint peeling are guaranteed when hiring underqualified crews or using generic fiber cement knock-offs. Don’t gamble with your largest investment. Poor installations can cost tens of thousands in future damage, rot, mold remediation, and resale value loss.

✔️ We’re committed to craftsmanship, code compliance, and warranties you can count on.
