Full Siding and Window Replacement | Glenside, PA

NexGen Exterior Home Remodeling completed a full siding and window replacement project in Glenside, PA, giving this home a dramatic exterior transformation while improving durability, comfort, and energy performance. Working with Nick Freeth, Remodeling Consultant, and John Lemes, Project Manager, our team replaced the home’s aging vinyl siding and inefficient windows with premium James Hardie® fiber cement siding and Andersen® 400 Series replacement windows.

The homeowners were ready for an exterior that offered more than a visual update. Their existing vinyl siding was dated, while the older windows were no longer providing the level of insulation and efficiency they wanted—especially during Pennsylvania’s colder winter months. By upgrading the siding and windows together, NexGen was able to create a more cohesive exterior envelope while completely refreshing the home’s appearance.

James Hardie® Fiber Cement Siding Upgrade

The home’s primary exterior was finished with Hardie® Plank Lap Siding, James Hardie’s classic horizontal fiber cement siding. Hardie Plank is engineered for long-term performance and is designed to resist damage from moisture, severe weather, and pests. Unlike traditional vinyl, James Hardie’s fiber cement construction provides a substantial, high-end appearance while being Engineered for Climate® to perform in the weather conditions of the region. For added architectural character, we installed Hardie® Shingle Siding on the upper gable, creating an attractive accent that adds texture and dimension to the home’s façade. Hardie Shingle is designed to recreate the distinctive appearance of traditional cedar shake while providing the durability and water resistance associated with Hardie fiber cement products.

The completed exterior was further detailed with Hardie® trim around the newly installed windows, along with aluminum fascia capping and vinyl soffit. These finishing touches create a polished, coordinated appearance while helping reduce the maintenance demands of the home’s exterior.

Andersen® 400 Series Replacement Windows

To complement the siding transformation, NexGen replaced the home’s inefficient older windows with Andersen® 400 Series windows. The 400 Series is one of Andersen’s established premium window lines and is available with high-performance glass options designed to help manage heat transfer and solar heat gain. The result is an important efficiency upgrade that can help the home retain warmth more effectively during the winter while improving year-round indoor comfort.

Replacing the windows at the same time as the siding also allowed our craftsmen to properly integrate the new window installations and exterior trim for a clean, finished appearance.

A More Beautiful, Durable & Efficient Home

This Glenside exterior remodeling project was about performance as much as appearance. James Hardie fiber cement siding is designed to withstand moisture, weather extremes, pests, and time, while offering homeowners a low-maintenance exterior.

Combined with the new Andersen 400 Series windows, the improvements provide the homeowners with a more comfortable and energy-conscious exterior—particularly important during the cold Montgomery County, PA winters.
