Project Profile: Get the James Hardie Look Without the Cost
At Xtreme Exteriors, we pride ourselves on delivering high-end results without forcing homeowners to blow their budgets. One recent re-side project in Goodlettsville, TN, perfectly illustrates how we helped a homeowner achieve the clean, modern look of James Hardie siding—without the premium price tag.
The Challenge: High-End Look, Tight Budget
Our client in Goodlettsville discovered Xtreme Exteriors through a Google search, looking for a siding contractor who could refresh the exterior of their home. This was their first time working with us, and from the initial conversation, one thing was clear—they had a strong design vision but a strict budget to follow.
They loved the aesthetic and durability of James Hardie siding but weren’t ready for the cost that typically comes with fiber cement. That’s when our team stepped in with a solution: budget-friendly modern siding options that would replicate the Hardie look with more cost-effective materials.
Our Solution: Value-Engineered Design
Paul from our sales team guided the homeowners through design choices and material comparisons. After several consultations, we recommended Alside Ascend vinyl siding—a premium vinyl product that mimics the look and texture of James Hardie at a significantly lower cost.
The home had its challenges, including a sloped, unsquared structure that required careful measuring and adjustment. The previous siding and windows had been installed to match the slope, making the new layout more complex. But we’ve seen it all before. Our installers used their experience and skill to correct alignment issues and ensure a clean, even finish across the entire structure.
This wasn’t just about putting new siding up—it was about improving the home’s exterior while staying within financial limits. The result? A crisp, modern transformation that offers durability, energy efficiency, and stunning curb appeal—without overspending.
Why It Worked
This project was a success because we understand what homeowners are looking for: beauty, function, and value. Our team’s ability to value-engineer a solution gave this homeowner exactly what they envisioned without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
Here’s how we made it work:
- Design-Focused Consultation: We listened to the homeowner’s goals and found creative ways to meet them.
- Smart Material Selection: Alside Ascend offered the perfect blend of affordability and style.
- Expert Installation: Our team adjusted for challenging angles and structural imperfections.
- Seamless Communication: From start to finish, our client was kept informed and involved.
