Full Exterior Renovation with Stunning Evening Blue Hardie Siding in Ellicott City, MD
This family in Ellicott City had a beautiful home with tons of potential—but time and the elements had taken their toll. Their garage door was outdated, noisy, and poorly insulated. The siding was cracked and discolored, with visible algae growth raising concerns about both curb appeal and long-term structural health. Most concerning of all, their back deck and porch were deteriorating—making them unsafe for kids and unusable for family time outdoors.
They knew they didn’t just need a few quick fixes—they needed a trusted partner who could bring their home back to life from top to bottom.
Creating an Exterior Renovation Plan That Balanced Style, Safety, and Efficiency
From the start, our team worked closely with the homeowners to create a customized plan that addressed everything on their wish list—from the big-picture goals to the smallest details.
Here’s what we mapped out together:
- New James Hardie siding in the popular Evening Blue, paired with crisp white Hardie board corners for a classic contrast.
- Smooth white trim capping for all windows, doors, and the garage.
- Updated T3 1/3 HiddenVent soffits to allow for better airflow.
- A custom-designed rear entry overhang with white vinyl posts and matching shingles.
- A full screened porch rebuild, featuring a new concrete pad, ceiling fan, PVC shadow box panels, and Versatex-wrapped posts.
- A new garage door—a Lincoln 2000 model with belt drive and keypad entry—and upgraded Georgetown series double-hung windows.
- Raised panel black shutters to finish off the front with elegant detail.
We also helped the client explore design and color options to achieve the look they wanted while improving insulation and energy efficiency—all within their budget.
Why They Chose Presidential Exteriors
What made this homeowner choose us? They needed a partner who could handle it all—and do it well. Our ability to manage the entire project under one roof, combined with clear communication, professional design input, and a reputation for doing things right, gave them the confidence to move forward.
Tackling the Unexpected—Without Derailing the Plan
No renovation comes without a few surprises—especially on older homes. Once we began removing the siding, we uncovered damaged sheathing and hidden moisture buildup that needed to be addressed before the new materials went up. We took the time to replace all compromised areas to ensure the home was structurally sound and weatherproof.
We also ran into issues with the old patio’s uneven surface and poor drainage. To solve this, our team regraded the area and poured a brand-new concrete pad with proper slope to avoid water pooling.
Thanks to proactive planning and close coordination between our crews, we were able to overcome every obstacle without falling behind schedule—keeping the homeowner informed and stress-free along the way.
