Project Overview

Evergreen Construction Company, Inc. recently completed a full exterior siding transformation in Eagan, Minnesota. This project focused on updating the home’s appearance with a bold, modern color palette while ensuring the structure beneath the siding was fully protected and restored. The result is a dramatic curb-appeal upgrade paired with long-term durability.

The Challenge

The homeowners wanted to move away from a lighter, dated exterior color and transition to a darker, more contemporary look that would give their home a fresh presence in the neighborhood. As with many siding projects, the biggest challenge wasn’t immediately visible.

Once the existing siding was removed, our team discovered hidden water damage on the front wall of the home. This type of damage is often impossible to identify until teardown begins, but addressing it properly is critical to the home’s structural integrity and longevity. The project required quick problem-solving and careful reconstruction before new materials could be installed.

Additionally, our project lead worked closely with the homeowners to guide color and material selection, using design expertise to ensure the darker siding and complementary stonework achieved a cohesive, visually striking exterior.

Project Details

Siding:

  • Product: James Hardie® HZ5® HardiePlank® Smooth Lap Siding
  • Profile: 7.25″ Lap
  • Color: Knight’s Armor

Stonework:

  • Location: Front elevation
  • Scope: Decorative stone installation to enhance curb appeal and add architectural depth

Additional Work:

  • Scope: Removal of existing siding and replacement of rotten wood discovered on the front wall to restore structural integrity prior to new siding installation

The Transformation

After repairing the damaged substrate, Evergreen’s team installed the new HardiePlank siding with precision and attention to detail. The transition from a lighter exterior to the deep, rich tone of Knight’s Armor completely changed the home’s character, giving it a more refined and upscale appearance.

The addition of stonework on the front façade anchored the design and created a strong focal point, while the repaired structure beneath the siding ensures the home is protected from future moisture-related issues. Our project lead’s guidance in color and material selection ensured that the final design reflected both the homeowners’ vision and Evergreen’s design expertise.

The Result

This Eagan project is a perfect example of why proper installation, experience, and design insight matter. Beyond the visual upgrade, the home now has a fully restored exterior system built to perform for decades.

The homeowners received not only a dramatic exterior transformation, but also peace of mind knowing hidden issues were addressed the right way—without shortcuts.
