This beach-area exterior remodel was a full exterior gut, not a cosmetic facelift.
All of the old wood shake siding had to be completely removed, the site had to be prepped, and because these homes are built extremely close together, we brought in full scaffolding just to work safely and correctly.
In Los Angeles, installing James Hardie siding typically ranges from about $17 to $25.50+ per square foot, depending on the style, exposure, and detailing. Coastal homes also require tighter install standards due to weather, access, and proximity to neighboring structures.
For this project, the total exterior remodel came in at over $40,000, but it was absolutely necessary—and the finished result speaks for itself. Clean lines, modern durability, and a massive upgrade in curb appeal.
