James Hardie® Siding in Alameda by Custom Exteriors

Life in Alameda comes with undeniable benefits like coastal breezes, historic charm, and close proximity to the Bay. But those same coastal conditions can be hard on your home’s exterior. Moisture, salt air, wind, and fluctuating temperatures all take a toll over time. That’s why many Alameda homeowners turn to James Hardie® fiber cement siding for long-lasting protection and timeless curb appeal.

With 28 years of experience as an exterior home remodeler and siding expert, Custom Exteriors has worked extensively throughout Alameda. We understand the local architecture, environmental conditions, and expectations that come with owning a home on the Island.

Why James Hardie® Makes Sense for Alameda Homes

Alameda’s coastal environment demands more from exterior materials. James Hardie® fiber cement siding is engineered to stand up to moisture, salt air, and wind far better than traditional wood or vinyl siding.

Benefits for Alameda homeowners include:

  • Excellent resistance to moisture, rot, and swelling
  • Durability in salty coastal air
  • Non-combustible material for added fire safety
  • Low-maintenance performance compared to wood siding
  • Classic and modern styles that suit Alameda’s diverse architecture
  • Optional ColorPlus® Technology for long-lasting color and reduced repainting

Fiber cement siding offers the charm Alameda homeowners value—with the modern performance coastal living requires.

Respecting Alameda’s Architecture & Character

Alameda is known for its beautifully preserved Victorians, Craftsman homes, and classic Bay Area architecture. Our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We help homeowners choose James Hardie® profiles and finishes that enhance the home’s character while improving durability.

Popular choices include:

  • Hardie® Plank Lap Siding for traditional and historic homes
  • Smooth or woodgrain textures depending on architectural style
  • Coordinated trim, soffits, and fascia for a finished, cohesive look
  • Subtle accent details that maintain neighborhood integrity

We balance preservation and performance so your home looks right and lasts longer.

28 Years of Local Exterior Remodeling Experience

Custom Exteriors has spent nearly three decades remodeling exteriors throughout Alameda and the greater East Bay. That experience matters, especially in coastal communities where proper installation details make all the difference.

  • Proven moisture-management and flashing techniques
  • Understanding of coastal exposure and ventilation needs
  • Careful workmanship around older homes and structures
  • Clean, respectful job sites in established neighborhoods

"Loved working with Custom Exteriors. Very responsive to inquiries. Precise in their measurements, estimate and timeframe for completion. Highly recommend them."

"Custom Exteriors provided a great product and good service in replacing 2 sliding glass doors and 2 other windows in my townhouse.  One was a custom window that required extra work in refitting the plantation shutters to the new window.  Although there were some bumps along the way, Jeff and his foreman Ryan excelled at follow up.  I would recommend Custom Exteriors."

"Kevin one of the owners of Custom Exteriors contacted me the following day and immediately tried to make things right. The first thing, I was impressed about was he took my call without hesitation. Many medium sized business will bounce me around to different people before finally being able to talk to the owner. He was an attentive listener and took to the time understand my needs and wants in an exterior entry door.His communication was top notch, sending me estimates the same day or the following day. He gave me choices in fiberglass doors: ProVia and Therma-Tru, hardware: Trilennium vs Emtek, and single point vs multiple point locks. I just ordered a ProVia doors through Kevin. This surprised both to my husband and me. Before contacting Custom Exteriors, we thought we were going to get a Therma-Tru door, but that totally changed once we the information we needed from Kevin. I get the sense that he truly wants to give customers options and information, but respects the customer's final decision. There is not high pressure sale pitch. Kevin wants customers to be informed and happy with the end product."
