in Lakeland, TN
Hardie siding installation refreshed this Lakeland lake home, delivering a modern look, lasting protection, and reduced exterior maintenance.
Project Location: Lakeland, TN
Renovations: James Hardie Siding Installation, Window Installation, Exterior Painting, Gutter Replacement, & Entry Door Replacement
This lake house still had its original wood siding and windows, and years of exposure had taken a noticeable toll. The materials were worn, outdated, and no longer providing the level of protection the home needed.
The homeowners wanted a full exterior update that preserved the character of their uniquely designed home while giving it the durability and low-maintenance performance they had been missing.
A Collaborative Approach to Preserving the Home’s Look
During the consultation, our team took time to understand the home’s distinctive architectural look and the homeowners’ desire to maintain that original charm. A color consultant visited the property to guide the style and paint selections, helping the clients see how small choices could shape the overall look. To give even more clarity and confidence, a 3D rendering was created so they could visualize the finished exterior before any work began.
Trust Built Through Reviews and Reputation
The homeowners discovered Bluff City Exteriors online and felt reassured by the many positive reviews they read. The consistent experiences of other homeowners gave them confidence that their project would be handled professionally and with care, especially given the home’s complexity and their tight travel-based timeline.
Hardie Siding Installation and Porch Enhancements
Once plans were finalized, our team installed new James Hardie smooth lap siding to bring lasting durability and a clean, modern aesthetic. Midway through the project, the homeowners decided to stain the tongue-and-groove ceiling on the porch rather than paint it. The decision added warmth and character to the entryway, and the finished ceiling quickly became one of the standout features of the renovated exterior.
Rot Repairs and Underlayment Replacement
As the original materials were removed, extensive wood rot was uncovered across the exterior. Much of the underlayment had deteriorated and required full replacement. The team addressed each issue methodically, ensuring the home’s structure was sound before installing the new siding. This process brought the home up to modern standards and eliminated long-term maintenance concerns the original materials had created.
The Finished Look and Satisfied Homeowner Experience
The updated lake house now has a refreshed, cohesive look that stays true to its original design while providing better protection and significantly less maintenance. The stained porch ceiling complements the property’s setting and adds a welcoming detail that fits the home’s lakeside character.
The homeowners shared how much they appreciated the team working within their timeline. Because they travel frequently for work and leisure, having the project completed while they were in town made the process far more convenient.
