"My husband and I are just starting the process of having our home's siding replaced. At the moment, we have painted cedar shakes. Starting the process was very intimidating. We met with Ewan and Frank from Coastal, who took the time to walk around our home and educate us about the individual needs for our home. This "education" included pointing out both what we needed and did not need. What really impressed me, was how they were very sensitive to our budget. Rather than just tell us we needed to replace everything, they observed and suggested what could be retained and would work with our new design. During the design process, Ewan and Frank helped us navigate all the options, showed us samples and had many photos of finished projects to help us visualize what our home will look like after. Their on-line design tool was very cool. They took pictures of our home, and after applying our individual choices, their design tool made it real. A huge "thank you" to Ewan and Frank for your time, knowledge and professionalism. I am so excited for this transformation to beginSorry it took so long for my update. Our house came out great. We couldn't be happier. We love the color. The siding is James Hardie Mountain Sage. It stands from the other houses in the neighborhood. The workmanship is outstanding. The work was completed on time as promised despite some rainy days. Thank you Coastal Windows & Exterior!"

"Now that the project is complete: We could not be happier with our experience. The new siding looks incredible and has completely transformed our home. Dave, the project manager, was outstanding from start to finish, always checking in, communicating clearly, and making sure every detail was perfect. You can tell he truly cares about the quality of the work and the customer experience. The James Hardie product itself is exceptional, beautiful, durable, and worth every bit of the investment. We are extremely happy with the entire process and would highly recommend Coastal to anyone considering new siding.Mark from Coastal was exceptional to work with. From our first consultation, he was personable, knowledgeable, and patient in answering all of my questions, no matter how many times I asked. Choosing a siding contractor can be stressful, but Mark made the entire process simple and reassuring. He took the time to truly understand what I wanted, walked the project in detail, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Thank you for the outstanding service, we can’t wait to see the finished product!"

"Iif you can dream & envision it, then Coastal Exteriors & Windows will make it happen. The representative from the company I initially dealt with was Roger. He was very polite & professional. He took his time to explain each item I was interested in and answered all the questions I had. With that said, I am beyond thrilled with the results!! I chose to have new siding, roof & gutters done. I decided to go with the Evening Blue James Hardie siding. I absolutely love!! The job itself took approximately 2 weeks to complete from late November to early December 2023. The team that was sent, by the company to do the job was great. They were very polite, courteous and very hard working. They would show up every day promptly at 7am and work until it got dark out. Not only did they complete the job in a timely fashion but they made sure to do the job right. I am very thankful & grateful I chose to work with a company that really cares about what the customer wants and does phenomenal work. I highly recommend Coastal Exteriors & Windows. You will not be disappointed."

Cost
Fiber-cement pricing depends on the square footage of siding, the number of stories and elevations, how much trim and detail work your home has, and what the crew finds once the old siding comes off — rotted sheathing or failed flashing adds scope. Profile choice (lap, shake, or board-and-batten) and ColorPlus® versus primed also move the number. We price it after a full on-site measure, and the written estimate includes any repair work we can see coming.
