Siding that stands up to the lakeshore
Homes within a mile or two of the lake, from Sheridan Beach and Long Beach to the neighborhoods east of Franklin Street, see higher sustained wind than anywhere else we work. Standard vinyl rattles and unlocks in those gusts. We install James Hardie fiber cement or insulated vinyl with a tighter fastening schedule, taped house wrap and heavier corner posts and starter strips.
Fiber cement in Michigan City
Fiber cement is the most-requested material in Michigan City because it does not fade in reflected sun off the water, does not dent in hail, and holds paint through the freeze-thaw cycles along the shore. HardiePlank with ColorPlus factory finish is what we quote first on lakeside homes.

Siding questions from Michigan City
What siding holds up best to Lake Michigan wind and sand?
James Hardie fiber cement, fastened on a tighter schedule than inland homes, is the most durable choice on the Michigan City lakeshore. Insulated vinyl is the next best: the foam backer stiffens the panel so it does not rattle or unlock in gusts the way standard vinyl can.
