James Hardie Siding Replacement in Poplar Grove, IL (Country Lane Red)

Many Poplar Grove homes still have the builder-grade vinyl they were built with around 2000, and homeowners often ask what a switch to James Hardie looks like. This video shows one in Poplar Grove, IL: a homeowner whose vinyl siding was rippling where sunlight reflected onto it chose James Hardie fiber cement in Country Lane Red, and the job was finished before winter.

As a Certified James Hardie Installer, we recommend James Hardie fiber cement first, with vinyl as the other main option and LP SmartSide available. Most siding jobs take 1 to 2 days, and we install year-round, winter included.

Why the Vinyl Was Failing

  • The problem: the house has a sunroom at one end, and light reflecting from it was hitting the vinyl siding and warping it into ripples.
  • The choice: James Hardie was the homeowners’ first choice from the start, so they looked for a Certified James Hardie Installer and found us.
  • An extra check: a James Hardie representative also came out to look over the job.
  • The color: Country Lane Red, picked for the cabin in the woods look the homeowner always wanted.
