Lynnwood, WA exterior renovation featuring 8 1/4-inch primed Cedarmill James Hardie lap siding with a 7-inch reveal, HardieWrap, seam tape, HardieFlash, 26GA window flashing, Hardie trim, exterior blocks, metal transitions, and a two-color Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint finish.
The project included removal of the existing siding before installation of the new James Hardie exterior system. The source uses the phrase “old reminder siding,” but because the exact existing siding material is unclear, it is not reclassified or guessed. The project is simply described as an existing-siding tear-off.
After removal, KV Construction installed HardieWrap with 1 1/2-inch seam tape, 4-inch HardieFlash, 26GA window head flashing, W corners, window and block flashing, and Z-metal. Together, these documented components create the moisture-management package behind the finished siding.
The main walls received 8 1/4-inch primed Cedarmill James Hardie lap siding installed with a 7-inch reveal. The field-painted approach allowed the final color hierarchy to be established after the siding was installed.
The exterior received two colors of Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint. The first color covered the siding body, fascia, and eaves, creating a unified primary exterior surface. The second color was used on window trim and corners to frame the openings and architectural edges.
Dedicated Hardie blocks, 26GA flashing, Z-metal, and QUAD MAX caulking were also included at exterior penetrations and transitions. These smaller details are an important part of the finished siding system, particularly in the Pacific Northwest where repeated rain can challenge openings and material transitions.
For homeowners in Lynnwood and throughout the Puget Sound area, a complete siding replacement is about more than installing new boards. Weather barrier, flashing, trim, blocks, sealant, and coordinated paint zones all contribute to a durable and visually consistent exterior system.
