James Hardie Boothbay Blue Siding Transformation in Kokomo, IN
This James Hardie fiber cement siding makeover in Kokomo, IN took a home from tired and dated to clean and modern. The whole exterior is now wrapped in HardiePlank Cedarmill lap siding in a deep Boothbay Blue, with every corner, window, and roofline framed in crisp Arctic White trim. The owner wanted a dramatic color change paired with a material that wouldn’t demand constant upkeep — no repainting, no rot, no fading after a few hard Central Indiana winters. Fiber cement delivers exactly that.
A Bold New Color in James Hardie Boothbay Blue
We chose the Cedarmill texture for its authentic wood-grain look and the factory-applied Statement Collection finish in Boothbay Blue, a color that reads rich and modern in any light. The Arctic White trim does the heavy lifting visually: it outlines the architecture, makes the blue pop, and keeps every line sharp. Because the color is baked into the board at the factory, it holds up to UV and freeze-thaw far better than a painted finish — and it never needs repainting.
The transformation isn’t just a front-of-house facelift. The same color, reveal, and trim detailing carry around every side of the home, so it looks finished and intentional from every angle.
Built to Last: Fiber Cement Siding Done Right
The part that matters most is the part you can’t see once the siding is on. Before a single board went up, we installed a full RexWrap weather-resistant barrier, taped every seam, and flashed each window so water is managed long before it reaches the structure. New gable vents and a hidden-vent soffit system keep air moving behind the walls and through the attic, and color-matched caulk seals every joint for a seamless finish. It’s the kind of detail that decides whether siding lasts ten years or forty.
Fiber cement is one of the best long-term investments a homeowner can make. It resists moisture, impact, and rot, won’t warp like vinyl, and stands up to Indiana’s freeze-thaw swings. James Hardie backs the siding with a 30-year limited, transferable warranty and the Statement Collection finish with a 15-year limited warranty — and our crew installs it to Hardie’s best practices so those warranties hold.
Finished From Every Angle
The entry sets the tone, with coordinated trim wrapping the doors and posts, and the detached garage was finished to match the house so the whole property reads as one design.
From the rear deck to the far side yard, the new exterior holds its line — deep blue against the landscaping, white trim framing every opening.
