Hardie Siding Upgrade Revitalizes Classic Haddonfield Dutch Colonial Home

Porter Family Exteriors Completes Hardie Siding Transformation on a Historic Haddonfield Dutch Colonial

Media, United States – December 15, 2025 / Porter Family Exteriors /

Porter Family Exteriors recently completed a striking renovation on a classic Dutch Colonial home in Haddonfield, replacing deteriorating cedar siding with durable Hardie siding and updating architectural details for an exterior that blends beauty and long-term performance.

This renovation project addressed aging cedar siding that had begun to show signs of wear and frequent maintenance needs. The team removed the old siding and installed Hardie 8 1/4″ lap siding on both the main residence and detached garage. The Iron Gray ColorPlus finish created a cohesive aesthetic across façades while offering enhanced resistance to weather challenges common in the region.

In addition to the Hardie siding installation, the scope included new soffits and trim capping around windows, doors, and eaves, selective gutter enhancements, and upgrades to auxiliary structures such as the detached garage and shed. These elements worked together to unify the exterior, honoring the home’s architectural integrity and delivering a refreshed look that stands up to long-term exposure.

Hardie Siding: A Smart Choice for Siding Replacement

James Hardie siding has become a popular option for homeowners seeking siding that offers durability, color retention, and resistance to environmental stressors such as moisture and temperature swings. The fiber cement composition resists the issues often associated with wood siding—like cracking, warping, and pest damage—making it a practical choice for exterior replacements.

Porter Family Exteriors installs a range of Hardie siding products, including HardiePlank lap, HardieShingle, and vertical panel systems that allow homeowners to tailor the look of their home while benefiting from a material engineered to perform in varied climates.
