This is a view from the rear corner. The Pearl Gray siding contrasts well with the roofing color. A simple 4" picture frame was selected for the trim on the rear windows. Hardie siding requires a 2" clearance from roofing surfaces. Using color matched flashing is a great way to blend the two surfaces together. Many siding contractors don't follow this detail which can void the Hardie 30 year warranty.

Here is a closer look at the Hardie 12" vented soffit. Most roofing manufacturers require proper ventilation in the eaves. This is required for their warranty. Installing proper ventilation when replacing your siding saves money when the time comes to replace your roof. It can also extend the life of your existing roof. Consult your siding contractor to see if vented soffits will benefit your home.

Here is a closer look at the Hardie light block detail. This light block color is Pearl Gray. Hardie requires a mounting block with proper flashing. This means all light fixtures need to be removed and reinstalled. Most customers purchase new light fixtures to be installed when the siding is replaced. Many siding companies use vinyl siding light blocks. This can void your Hardie warranty. Consult your siding contractor to see if they use the correct light block detail.
