Can you stain hardi-plank to look like cedar?
Comments (76)That is correct - and that would be one of the specialty coatings available that I was referring to. It is not readily available to the general public as it is generally sold through an OEM / Industrial SW store (if your local store has even heard of it). It is only field applicable for very talented painters (ideally with a background in faux finishing) & it is extremely difficult to paint consistently on a job site. A factory prefinisher can apply the same look continuously on 10,000+ LF without any odd variations in appearance. That would take an insane amount of effort and handling to do outside of a factory environment....See MoreStucco vs Hardie panels
Comments (8)The smooth Hardie siding panel combined with the Tamlyn Xtreme trim will give you that modern contemporary look without the concerns with Dryvit. Below are some examples of a project in Arlington, VA...See MoreNeed help with trim color for this odd peach orange brick.
Comments (31)Dunno if you're still looking for advice: I have the same style home, but built in 65. It wasy great grandmother's and the contractor advised her that a brown or green roof was best, with green trim. Green trim is ick. Currently, the outside of the windows are a slight off-white to cream, we have a dark brown metal roof, pink/coral/salmon shutters and accents, and the side where the carport was closed in, the wood siding is a pastel cream/yellow tone. Side porch railings are white, with a lighter buff kind of brown pain on the decks/porches. It's quite nice and cheery without being loud or competitive with one another....See MoreHardie board siding
Comments (5)I am not an expert on this, but I have known some Hardi-plank installations have been done wrong (wrong fasteners, etc.) and this has negated the warranty, so I would carefully research the warranty. That will give you a lot of good information on what NOT to do. Hardi-plank is simply a cementious product so there might be other products that are less costly that might work as well. Hardi has just got the "name" so search around and see what you can find. btw, if the board is crumbling, I wonder if it is true "Hardi"; or if the proper cutting tools were being used....See Moremark_roeder 4B NE Iowa
