Location: Los Angeles, CA
Renovations: James Hardie® Arctic White Lap Siding, Fiber Cement Trim, Window Installation, Bi-Fold Patio Door Installation
While building their new two-story home in Los Angeles, this homeowner wanted an exterior that would look refined from day one while delivering long-term durability and minimal maintenance. In the middle of construction, they began searching for a siding solution that could complement a clean, contemporary design while holding up to Southern California’s climate for decades to come.
With so many decisions already involved in a new build, they needed a contractor who could guide them through the exterior portion of the project with clarity, reliability, and consistent communication.
A Thoughtful Consultation Focused on Design, Budget, and Timeline
The consultation process began with precise measurements of all siding areas, and an in-depth conversation about the homeowner’s goals for the exterior. We discussed material options, aesthetic preferences, and how each choice would impact the overall construction schedule and budget.
Given regional priorities and performance standards, James Hardie fiber cement siding quickly became the top recommendation. Its durability, clean lines, and low-maintenance benefits made it an ideal fit for this new-build home, ensuring long-term value without sacrificing curb appeal.
Why the Homeowner Chose Approved Contractor
The homeowner selected Approved Contractor after researching our online reviews and experiencing our responsive, professional communication firsthand. She appreciated that she never had to follow up for answers, we responded quickly, showed up on time, and took the time to educate them before moving forward.
As a James Hardie certified contractor, we follow manufacturer best practices throughout the installation process, giving homeowners confidence that their exterior is not only beautiful, but built correctly according to industry standards.
Installing James Hardie Siding and a Full Window Package
For this project, our team installed James Hardie Arctic White horizontal lap siding with matching Arctic White trim, creating a crisp, timeless exterior well-suited for a modern two-story home. We also installed approximately 28 windows and one bi-fold patio door, carefully integrating them into the siding system for a seamless, polished finish.
Navigating Window Installation Challenges During a New Build
Because the windows were purchased prior to our involvement, installation presented potential challenges related to measurements and specifications. Our team identified necessary corrections early, advised the homeowner on reordering the affected windows, and coordinated installation once the updated units arrived, therefore preventing long-term issues and keeping the project on track.
A Clean, Durable Exterior Built for the Long Term
The homeowner brought excellent attention to detail to the process, and they were extremely pleased with the final result. The completed exterior delivers a durable, low-maintenance finish that enhances the home’s architectural presence and supports the long-term goals of the new build.
