James Hardie Siding in Midland, WA
Full exterior wall systems for Midland homes. Weather barrier, precision flashing, James Hardie fiber cement, and premium trim work — built for the Pacific Northwest.
Why Midland Homes Need Quality Siding
Midland is a tight-knit community in central Pierce County, situated between Tacoma and Parkland along the 96th Street corridor. This unincorporated area features some of the oldest housing stock in south Pierce County, with many homes dating to the 1940s through 1970s. These older homes have been weathering Pacific Northwest rain for 50 to 80 years, and their original siding has long since passed its intended lifespan.
The East Midland neighborhood and the homes along the 96th Street corridor showcase a mix of post-war construction styles — small ramblers, Cape Cods, and modest split-levels. Many still have original wood lap siding, some with multiple layers of paint concealing decades of moisture damage underneath. The 1960s and 1970s homes often feature T1-11 panels that are delaminating at the seams and absorbing water with every rain.
James Hardie fiber cement siding is the ideal upgrade for Midland's aging homes. It provides the look of freshly painted wood without any of the rot, moisture absorption, or constant maintenance that these older homes demand. When installed as a complete wall system — weather barrier, Z flashing, Hardie siding, trim, and caulking — it delivers decades of reliable protection and transforms the curb appeal of even the most weathered Midland home.
James Hardie Siding Options for Midland
From classic lap siding to modern vertical panels, we install the full James Hardie lineup for Midland homeowners.
HardiePlank Lap Siding
The most popular siding choice in Midland. Classic horizontal planks with smooth or wood-grain texture, available in ColorPlus pre-finished colors. Ideal for the post-war ramblers and Cape Cods found throughout East Midland and the 96th corridor.
HardiePanel Vertical Siding
Board-and-batten and flat panel options that add visual height and modern architectural style. A smart upgrade for Midland homeowners looking to modernize gable ends on older ramblers and split-levels.
HardieShingle Siding
Fiber cement shingle panels that replicate traditional cedar shake without the maintenance. A great accent option for Midland homes, providing warmth and texture without the rot issues that cedar shake develops in this climate.
Trim & Accent Work
Hardie trim boards for window casings, door surrounds, corner boards, and belly bands. On Midland's older homes, proper trim work is critical for sealing gaps created by decades of settling and structural movement.

Siding Challenges Specific to Midland
Decades of Moisture on Older Construction
Midland's housing stock is among the oldest in south Pierce County, with many homes built in the post-war era of the 1940s and 1950s. These homes were built before modern moisture management practices, meaning many lack proper flashing and weather barriers behind the siding. When the old siding is removed, it's common to find rot, mold, and damaged sheathing that has been hidden for decades. Our complete tear-off and inspection process ensures these underlying issues are addressed before the new James Hardie wall system goes on.
Common Existing Siding Types in Midland
Midland's neighborhoods show a clear pattern of siding types tied to construction eras:
- Post-war era (1940s-1950s): Original wood lap siding with multiple paint layers concealing rot, often with no weather barrier behind it
- 96th corridor (1960s-1970s): T1-11 plywood panels and Masonite showing delamination, seam failure, and widespread moisture absorption
- Later additions: Mismatched vinyl or composite patches from previous repairs that don't properly integrate with the original siding
Each of these siding types has known failure points in Midland's climate, and all can be replaced with a James Hardie fiber cement system engineered to last decades.
