# Siding installation in Michigan City, Indiana

> Hoosier Cladding installs and replaces siding on homes in Michigan City and the Lake Michigan shore, about 38 miles from our South Bend shop. Lake wind, blowing sand and freeze-thaw off the water are hard on siding here, and most of our Michigan City work is full replacement in fiber cement or insulated vinyl.

## 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.

## FAQ

### 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.

### Do you serve Long Beach, Sheridan Beach and the rest of the LaPorte County shoreline?

Yes. We serve Michigan City and the shoreline towns around it, including Long Beach, Sheridan Beach and Trail Creek. Estimates are free and are scheduled with other LaPorte County visits on the same day.
