From Vinyl to Hardie Board: Siding Upgrade with Insulation Boost | 12 Penny Exteriors

We're back on site with Paul from 12 Penny Exteriors! In this quick walkaround of a current project, Paul shares how we transformed a home with dated white vinyl-sided into one with a beautiful, energy-efficient exterior using James Hardie cement board siding.

🏡 Project Highlights:

Upgraded from vinyl to durable Hardie Board siding

Added ¾" rigid foam insulation for better R-value and soundproofing

Trim upgrades and expert flashing for long-term performance and good looks

Homeowner feedback: noticeable improvement in comfort and quiet

👉 If you're thinking about replacing your siding, this is a great example of what’s possible—with real insulation gains and a big curb appeal upgrade.
