From Failing Stucco to Stunning Hardie Siding in Norristown, PA

Porter Family Exteriors recently completed a transformative siding replacement project on an early 2000s colonial-style home in Norristown, addressing persistent issues with failing stucco and underlying structural concerns.

Addressing Stucco Failures and Structural Challenges with a Customized Siding Replacement Plan

The homeowners faced significant problems with deteriorating stucco that compromised both the appearance and integrity of their residence. Upon inspection, the team discovered that the original construction utilized thermo-ply sheathing—a lightweight, cardboard-like material lacking durability and prone to pest infestation. This finding necessitated a comprehensive approach to ensure a lasting solution.

Collaborating closely with the homeowners, Porter Family Exteriors developed a tailored plan to replace the failing stucco with durable James Hardie fiber cement siding. Utilizing advanced tools like Hover for precise measurements and 3D design software, they crafted a solution that aligned with the homeowners' vision and budget. The design included the installation of Eldorado Stone’s Charleston Mountain Ledge accents to enhance the home's curb appeal.

Expert Siding Installation Process

The project commenced with a full stucco remediation, removing the compromised material and addressing the inadequate thermo-ply sheathing. The team replaced the original sheathing with sturdy plywood to establish a solid foundation. Following this, they installed James Hardie Cedar Mill siding in Navajo Beige, known for its durability and aesthetic appeal. To further protect the home, seamless 6-inch aluminum K-style gutters were added to improve water management.

Replacing the thermo-ply sheathing presented challenges, requiring careful removal and installation to maintain the structure's integrity. Despite these obstacles, the project was completed on schedule, resulting in a revitalized exterior that exceeded the homeowners' expectations.

The combination of James Hardie siding and stone accents has significantly elevated the home's appearance, making it a standout in the neighborhood. The homeowners now enjoy a refreshed, modern exterior free from previous concerns about stucco failure and potential damage.
