This quaint Bailey, CO cabin is nestled by woods and water, but the wood siding was aged and ruined in an unappealing way.
Most Coloradans think of wooden homes when they picture mountain cabins. This Bailey, CO home had the appeal of setting, but the wood siding was deteriorating—detracting from the idyllic image. Even though we’ve been conditioned to imagine cabins clad in wood, wood siding is the worst siding product for homes in the mountains.
The dry and snowy climate in Bailey, CO took a toll on this wood siding over the years. The porous wood soaked up moisture and then warped under the baking Colorado sun. This process of contracting and expanding under hot and cold conditions makes wood siding incredibly vulnerable. It buckles and pulls away, exposing the wall beneath the siding and inviting moisture damage and rot, pest infiltration, and further destruction like splitting or peeling.
Mountain homes like this one in Bailey, CO should be clad in a siding product that is built for the climate with a long-lasting guarantee. That’s why these Bailey homeowners decided to complete their siding replacement with James Hardie fiber cement siding.
James Hardie fiber cement siding is the best siding product on the market to protect mountain homes in Bailey, CO from the challenges of Colorado weather.
We recommended the homeowner choose fiber cement siding, which is the best siding choice for Colorado homes. James Hardie fiber cement siding is designed for mountain living. It is comprised of cement and cellulose fibers, a combination that is pressed to become impenetrable to moisture and other weather-related challenges. Fiber cement siding will never crack, peel, chip, or warp and it holds up for a lifetime, even under baking sun.
Most importantly for Bailey, CO homeowners, fiber cement siding is fire resistant. Bailey and the surrounding mountain communities are at high-risk during wildfire season. This home is surrounded by woods and dry grasses, which would serve as kindling to a home built with wood siding. But with James Hardie fiber cement siding, which has a grade-A fire rating, this Bailey, CO home is now completely protected and ready to withstand all climate challenges, including wildfire.
