Snohomish James Hardie Cedarmill Siding Replacement at Rear Chimney Area to Match Existing Exterior

This project focused on a defined rear/chimney section of the home where new James Hardie material had to integrate with the existing siding rather than redesign the entire exterior.

KV Construction removed the old siding in that area, installed HardieWrap, added primed Hardie 5/4×4 corners, and installed 6 1/4-inch Cedarmill lap siding with the same 5-inch reveal as the existing house.

The case is positioned as material matching and system integration—not as a handyman-style small-patch service—so it supports KV Construction’s broader James Hardie expertise without changing the company’s full-replacement focus.

A Defined Rear-Elevation Scope

The work was concentrated on the back side of the house around the chimney. The source does not state why the siding was replaced, so no rot, leak, or damage diagnosis is invented.

Matching the Existing House

The replacement used 6 1/4-inch Cedarmill James Hardie lap siding with a 5-inch reveal specifically to match the existing exterior. Matching profile and reveal keeps the horizontal courses from looking disconnected where new work meets old.

HardieWrap Behind the Replacement Area

HardieWrap paper was installed behind the new siding. The source does not list seam tape or a broader flashing package, so those components are not added to the project description.

Primed Hardie 5/4x4 Corners

Primed Hardie corner material created the termination points around the chimney-area wall geometry. Using the same material family helps the replacement section read as part of the existing fiber cement exterior.

QUAD MAX at the Specified Transitions

QUAD MAX caulking was included. Because the source is concise, the package stays limited to the confirmed tear-off, HardieWrap, corners, matching Cedarmill siding, and sealant rather than expanding the scope with unsupported chimney-flashing claims.

Why This Scope Matters in Pacific Northwest Conditions

Pacific Northwest siding work has to account for repeated rain, wind-driven moisture, shaded wall sections, and long wet seasons. The strongest project scopes do not ask the finished siding to do every job by itself. They coordinate the documented substrate, weather barrier, flashing, trim, blocks, soffit, panel seams, sealant, and finish details so water has a controlled path outward and the exterior can age as one system.

Outcome and Homeowner / Property Owner Value

The finished project is valuable because the visible James Hardie material is tied to the supporting work documented in the source scope. That makes the page a proof asset for KV Construction’s full-system approach rather than a generic materials list. Where a source detail is missing or ambiguous, this package keeps it open instead of inventing a product, color, repair condition, or location.

I asked for a quote, they arrived quickly, answered all my questions, and got to work the very next week on our home in Northgate, Seattle. They were very polite, professional, and reasonably priced.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw them working in the neighborhood and thought I'd ask them a quote on replacing the siding and painting the exterior. Their price was affordable and the quality of works is incredible, and the guy seemed competent. In the end, I hired him. Some additional issues came up during the job, which he also took care of. He also gave me some advice on other things.

Overall, I would hire him again.
