Project Spotlight: Complete James Hardie Reside & Exterior Upgrade in Lake Waukomis
In this project spotlight, travel with us to gorgeous Lake Waukomis, where our team at Xtreme Exteriors completed a full exterior remodel for a homeowner looking to update their home. Living so close to the water had taken a toll on the original siding, and critters had caused visible damage over the years. The owners wanted a long-lasting solution that would not only restore the home’s appearance but also significantly improve durability.
This transformation was handled by our Shawnee, KS location, which delivered a full James Hardie reside paired with several additional upgrades to bring new life and protection to this waterfront home.
The Homeowner's Goals
Before starting the project, the homeowner came to us with a few clear priorities:
- Replace worn, water-exposed siding
- Protect the home from critter damage
- Improve overall durability and curb appeal
- Add functional exterior elements like new gutters and storage space
- Maintain a cohesive, complementary look between the house and any new structures
With those goals in mind, our team developed a plan to revitalize the property.
Full Exterior Transformation
- James Hardie Reside
The original siding had begun to deteriorate due to years of moisture exposure. We removed it completely and installed James Hardie Lap siding, chosen for its unmatched durability, moisture resistance, and long-term performance.
We also replaced any areas of wood rot and wrapped the home in Hardie trim around the windows, garage, and front porch ceiling to complete the clean, modern look.
- New Windows for Efficiency & Aesthetics
We installed new windows by the laundry room, improving natural light and enhancing the home’s energy efficiency and functionality.
- Fresh 6-Inch Seamless Gutters
To ensure proper drainage and long-term roof health, we added 6-inch seamless gutters with color-matched downspouts. These not only blend beautifully with the new siding but also help redirect water away from the home’s foundation.
Custom 4' × 26' Storage Shed
One of the standout additions to this project is the homeowner’s new 4-foot by 26-foot storage shed. We built the shed to seamlessly complement the main house using:
- Matching James Hardie Lap siding
- Homeowner-provided windows
- A shingled roof designed to coordinate with the existing home
The result is a structure that’s both functional and visually cohesive — adding valuable storage without sacrificing style.
Homeowner Testimonial
“We hired Xtreme to re-side our entire house, build a new storage area and install several new windows. The job took about 2 months or so. We were very pleased with work quality and timing. Guys showed up every day, cleaned up and kept a tidy work area. Our project manager Andy Atkinson communicated very well and always followed up on things. Many contractors hire 3rd party crews for a variety of reasons. These guys don’t do that and it makes a big difference in work quality. The price we paid for the work was reasonable. You get what you pay for. I would highly recommend Xtreme.”
The Finished Result
The final transformation looks incredible, the home not only appears cleaner, sharper, and more modern, but it’s now protected against the elements for decades to come. With durable James Hardie Lap siding, new windows, a new storage shed, and the expert craftsmanship of Xtreme Exteriors, this Lake Waukomis property is truly built to last.
