Boost Your Curb Appeal and Your Home’s Resale Value When You Re-side with @JamesHardie
If you’re planning to sell your home or just want it to look its best, upgrading your siding is one of the smartest exterior home improvements you can make. Replacing old, worn-out siding with James Hardie® fiber cement siding not only enhances curb appeal but can also significantly increase your home’s market value. At Energy Exteriors NW, we help homeowners across Western Washington transform their exteriors with siding solutions that are as durable as they are beautiful.
Exterior Remodeling Projects That Add Real Value
When it comes to return on investment, siding replacement consistently ranks among the top home improvement projects. According to national remodeling data, re-siding with fiber cement offers an average ROI of up to 89%—meaning you recoup most of the cost when it’s time to sell.
Why does siding matter so much? Because your home’s exterior is its first impression. New, professionally installed siding signals that your home is well-maintained and energy-efficient, two key factors that attract serious buyers.
Curb Appeal Upgrades That Get Noticed
A fresh exterior can completely change how your home is perceived. In competitive real estate markets like Seattle, Bothell, Redmond, and Kirkland, curb appeal can make or break a sale. Whether you’re refreshing your look for resale or long-term pride of ownership, new siding is a foundation-level upgrade that pairs beautifully with other enhancements like:
- Upgraded exterior lighting – Illuminate your home’s architecture and boost evening curb appeal with modern, energy-efficient exterior lighting that adds safety and style.
- A new front door and trim – Make a bold first impression with a freshly installed front door and crisp trim that instantly elevates your home’s entryway.
- Decorative window accents – Frame your windows with charming shutters, flower boxes, or custom trim to add depth, personality, and a finished look to your exterior.
- Clean landscaping and walkways – Tidy, well-maintained greenery and clear pathways signal care and pride—welcoming guests and buyers before they even reach the front door.
At Energy Exteriors NW, we help homeowners maximize visual upgrades with cohesive design recommendations and professional installation.
Fiber Cement Siding: A Smart Alternative to Wood or Vinyl
Choosing the right siding material is just as important as choosing the right style. James Hardie fiber cement siding is engineered to perform in demanding climates—especially the wet and variable conditions of the Pacific Northwest. Unlike wood, it won’t rot or warp. Unlike vinyl, it won’t melt or crack.
Hardie siding is:
- Fire-resistant – James Hardie siding is specially engineered to resist ignition, helping to protect your home in the event of a fire and meet strict safety standards.
- Pest-resistant – Built to deter termites, woodpeckers, and other common pests, fiber cement siding offers long-lasting protection without the vulnerability of wood.
- Low maintenance – Designed to withstand weather, wear, and time, Hardie siding requires little upkeep—no frequent painting, sealing, or repairs needed.
- Non-combustible – Unlike wood or vinyl, James Hardie siding will not ignite or contribute fuel to a fire, providing a safer, more reliable exterior solution.
It also offers beautiful texture and design flexibility, making it ideal for homes ranging from modern to traditional.

Weatherproof Siding for Western Washington Homes
In areas like Lynnwood, Everett, and Mill Creek, siding needs to do more than just enhance appearance—it must endure constant exposure to rain, wind, and moisture throughout the year. That’s where James Hardie siding excels. Engineered through the Hardie™ Zone System, this siding is specifically designed to meet the climate challenges of the Pacific Northwest. It offers enhanced moisture resistance to prevent swelling, warping, and mold growth, even in the wettest seasons. Built-in freeze/thaw protection allows it to handle temperature fluctuations without cracking or deterioration, while its UV and wind resistance ensures long-lasting performance and curb appeal through storms and sun alike.
