Edmonds Pre-Painted ColorPlus HardiePlank Siding Remodel With Painted Eaves

This Edmonds, WA project was built as a complete exterior case study, not just another list of siding materials. KV Construction looked at the house as a full wall system: what had to come off, what had to be checked behind the old siding, how water would be managed around windows and doors, and how the finished exterior should feel in its local setting.

Edmonds homes often balance salt-air moisture, shaded lots, and a coastal-town curb appeal standard. This remodel needed a crisp finish, but the real value was in the sequence behind the siding: wrap, tape, flashing, blocks, trim, and sealant all working together.

The core installation centered on 8 1/4-inch ColorPlus pre-painted Arctic White Hardie lap siding with a 7-inch reveal. Arctic White ColorPlus siding and Straight Edge Hardie Shingles gave the home a bright, clean face while keeping the assembly grounded in fiber-cement durability. The work also included Arctic White ColorPlus siding, Straight Edge Hardie Shingle front accent, painted eaves and fascia, which made the project more layered than a standard siding replacement and gave the final result a stronger sense of place.

Why This Exterior Needed More Than New Boards

The project started with removal and prep because the parts behind the siding determine how well the finished exterior performs. KV Construction does not position this kind of work as a small patch job; the goal is to reset the weather-facing wall system so the new siding has the right foundation.

Weather Barrier, Flashing, and Rain Control

Pacific Northwest siding work has to respect water. On this project, the weather barrier was HardieWrap paper with 1 1/2-inch Hardie seam tape. Flashing details included 4-inch HardieFlash tape, 26GA head flashing, pre-painted 26GA flashing, and Z metal flashing. HardieWrap, seam tape, and detailed flashing created the water-management layer behind the siding, which is the part homeowners rarely see but rely on every winter. QUAD MAX sealant was used at key transitions so trim, blocks, windows, doors, and siding could work together instead of becoming separate weak points.

Material Choices That Fit the Home

The main siding choice was 8 1/4-inch ColorPlus pre-painted Arctic White Hardie lap siding with a 7-inch reveal. KV Construction paired that with Pre-painted Arctic White Hardie 5/4×4 outside corners, window trim, and door trim. This is where a case study becomes more than a materials list: the profile, reveal, texture, trim depth, and finish all influence how the home reads from the street and how well the edges are protected.

Details That Made This Project More Complete

Several project details shaped the final result: Eaves and fascia board painted; Old siding tear-off and exterior upgrade; Painted eaves and fascia board; ColorPlus pre-painted siding. These items matter because siding replacement often exposes the places where older exteriors were weakest: soffits, corners, window transitions, door openings, insulation gaps, or paint systems that no longer protect the home well.

Outcome and Homeowner Value

The finished project gives the home a more complete exterior system, with the visible siding, trim, soffit, window/door details, and hidden water-management layers all tied into one scope. The result is the kind of project KV Construction wants to be known for: practical, well-organized, and built around a full siding replacement mindset suited to Seattle-area and Pacific Northwest weather.
