Portland Siding Replacement | Hardieplank

Hardieplank ColorPlus Pre-Finished Siding
James Hardie pre-finished siding products with ColorPlus technology are unlike anything available on the market today.

Hardieplank's ColorPlus technology offers the beauty and durability of James Hardie siding products factory finished in a wide range of designer colors.

ColorPlus has a mar-resistant surface that resists scratches and won’t peel, chip or crack, as well as a proprietary finishing process that bakes on color to ensure that it stays fast. The ColorPlus Collection of pre-finished siding comes with a 50-year transferable limited product warranty, and a 15-year finish warranty from the manufacture.

The ColorPlus Collection is available on specific lap siding, shingles, trim, fascia and soffit products.

 An exclusive, fiber-cement-specific paint formulation with a multi-coat, baked-on color application process ensures a consistent full-paint coverage–one that cannot be duplicated by a third-party pre-finisher or on-site painting. James Hardie’s proprietary paint also includes a special coating for mar- and abrasion-resistance, while a factory-applied protective laminate protects your home’s finish and color during shipping and installation.

Replacement Siding Contractor | Portland

Project Manager: Gino Streano
Crew Lead: Jaime Salas
Address: 2645 SW 87th Ave Portland, OR 97225

This is a major remodel project that we finished last fall. This project includes the following;

  • Removal of existing brick siding
  • Repairing major structural dry rot including jacking up the house to replace the bottom plates, major structural beams as well as the replacement of exterior sheathing and studs
  • Installation of insulation on all exterior walls
  • Installation of cedar window and door trim
  • Electrical and plumbing upgrades
  • Siding the home with smooth Hardieplank lap siding and Red Balau vertical hardwood siding
  • Painting the entire home with Miller Evolution
  • New front entry door
  • New 6k “high-capacity” gutter system

This project really showcases our ability to tackle large, complex projects and our ability to manage them effectively through expert project management and skilled installers. Other companies would have been hamstrung by the large amount of dry rot that was discovered and unable to handle the repair. We were able to provide a quote for the repairs within 2 working days and didn’t miss a beat switching from the siding portion of the project to full dry rot repair which took a full 9 days to complete. We have just completed the dry rot repairs and are now continuing to work on the siding portion of the project.

The project is now finished and we would like to thank the wonderful homeowner’s Stacey and Seth who were fantastic to work with throughout the entire project.

Who We Are

Whether replacing old single pane wood windows, inefficient aluminum or poor quality vinyl Lifetime Remodeling Systems has in-house crews run by a professional project management staff to make sure your replacement window project get's done right.

Why Should I Replace My Windows?
Energy Efficiency Upgrade: Replacing your old windows can upgrade the energy efficiency of your home by keeping it warmer in the winter months and cooler in the summer months. A windows efficiency is measure by it U factor, the lower the U factor the more efficient the window is. A single paned wood window averages a U factor of 1.30 while a triple pane EnergyStar rated vinyl window can be as low as .15! See the chart below for a good look at how much a lower U factor can save you!

Energy Trust Trade Ally: LRS is an Energy Trust Trade Ally and we offer window/insulation packages that can transform your house from the drafty & uncomfortable to a shining beacon of energy efficient light!

Aesthetics/Operation: Replacement windows not only offer a significant energy upgrade, they are a major improvement in the way your windows will look and operate. Premium vinyl have a clean streamlined look and are typically white or beige in color. Composite windows have multiple exterior colors available as well as many high-end hardware options such as oil rubbed bronze and simulated divided lites.


Window Options? We've Got You Covered
Premium Vinyl Windows: Vinyl windows  offer a clean, energy efficient design and are easily operated (much better than those old wood windows you try to force open & closed) and offer a lifetime warranty including parts & labor. Vinyl windows are less in cost than composite windows and offer some of the highest ratings for energy efficiency of any replacement windows available (See our Triple Pane options). Click here to see our available Vinyl Windows lineup.

Composite Windows: Composite windows have many high end options similar to a wood window without the problems that wood windows often have over time such as rotting, insect infestation and expansion contraction related issues. Want to match your old wood windows with custom grids, woodgrain interior or oil rubbed bronze hardware? Composite windows offer all of these options with a durable composite exterior that looks and feels (and paints) like wood but lasts 4 times as long. Click here to see our Composite Window lineup.

This is an EIFS replacement siding project that we just completed in NW Portland. It includes the removal of the EIFS siding on the front elevation, installation of clear vertical grain cedar lap siding, a cedar window trim package and cultured stone accents.
