Upgrade Your Tartan West Home with James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding
Tartan West’s Tuscan-inspired homes went up between 2005 and 2020 with stucco, stone and builder-grade siding accents. Twenty Ohio winters, the April 2025 hail and the woodpeckers have left their mark. Exterior Alliance, a James Hardie Elite Preferred contractor from Commerce Parkway in Dublin, replaces that siding with fiber cement and handles the Tartan West ARB submittal.

Tartan West Siding Replacement, Approved and Built to Last
The ARB process is simple when the packet is complete
The Tartan West Community Association requires Architectural Review Board approval before any exterior replacement, siding included. For a like-for-like replacement the ARB accepts a contractor estimate with a materials list, and it targets a 30-day response. Changing color or material calls for elevations, samples and photos. Replacing siding without approval carries a $500 compliance fee, which is easy to avoid. We file the packet with your signed proposal.
Most Tartan West homes pair stucco and stone on the front elevation with lap siding on the sides and rear. That builder-grade siding, often vinyl or early composite, is where the fading, cracking and hail dings show up first. HardiePlank in a warm neutral ColorPlus color ties the sides of the house back to the stucco tones on the front, and HardieTrim replaces the rotting wood trim around windows and at the frieze board.
In the Villas at Corazon, Savona and Terrazza the association may control exteriors, so we work with boards and property managers on multi-building projects. If hail is the reason you are calling, our Ohio hail claim timeline explains the deadlines, and the Tartan West roofing team can inspect the roof in the same visit. Compare products in our Hardie board vs. vinyl guide.

Local Siding Insight for Tartan West
Hail shows on siding before roofs
The April 2025 hail left dents and cracks on west- and south-facing siding across north Dublin. Insurers often cover siding along with the roof when both are documented in one claim.
Stucco needs a partner that will not move
Where lap siding meets stucco, wood and vinyl expand and contract and open the joint. Fiber cement is dimensionally stable, so the caulk line at that transition stays sealed.
Open land, strong sun
Tartan West’s open western edge gets full afternoon sun. ColorPlus finishes resist the UV fade that has already dulled many original siding colors here.
OUR PROCESS
Three steps to Hardie siding in Tartan West
SITE VISIT
We measure every elevation, photograph existing siding, trim and flashing, and check for hidden moisture damage behind the old cladding on your Tartan West home.
PLANNING
You choose profiles, colors and trim. We file the ARB packet with your estimate and materials list. Like-for-like replacements are quick; color changes get samples so they are not sent back.
INSTALLATION
We strip the old siding, repair sheathing, install a weather-resistive barrier and flashing, then hang Hardie to manufacturer spec so the 30-year warranty and 15-year ColorPlus finish warranty hold.

What Tartan West homeowners ask about siding replacement
Do I need ARB approval to replace siding in Tartan West?
Yes. The Tartan West Community Association requires Architectural Review Board approval before any exterior replacement, including siding. A like-for-like replacement can be approved from a contractor estimate with a materials list. Skipping approval carries a $500 compliance fee.
