The most popular James Hardie product — horizontal fiber cement planks with authentic Cedarmill wood grain texture. Available in dozens of ColorPlus® factory-finish colors. Ideal for Colonial, Ranch, Cape Cod, and craftsman-style homes across Macomb and Oakland County. This is the go-to choice when homeowners want the look of real wood with none of the maintenance.
Vertical HardiePanel® combined with HardieTrim® battens creates the striking board and batten look that's exploding in popularity across Metro Detroit. Bold, architectural, and built to last. Popular for full-home re-sides, home additions, and garages. The dark navy finish on homes we've done in Michigan is absolutely stunning.
Real cedar shake aesthetics without the rot, warping, or constant upkeep. HardieShingle® is perfect for Cape Cod, cottage, and craftsman homes, or as a stunning accent on gables, dormers, and upper stories. Our recent white HardieShingle garage build with HardieTrim® overhangs and black gutters shows exactly what's possible with this product.
Smooth or textured vertical panels with a striking industrial or modern aesthetic. This look is growing fast in Metro Detroit — especially on home additions, urban renovations, and full exterior reskins. Pairs beautifully with dark metal trim, exposed steel, and contemporary architectural details. One of our most dramatic and eye-catching completed projects.
Large-format HardiePanel® with HardieTrim® covering the seams creates a classic Tudor or stucco aesthetic that's extremely difficult to replicate. This specialty look is common on brick-and-stucco Tudor homes throughout Oakland County. 3G has completed multiple high-end Tudor-style Hardie projects and understands the precise trim detailing required to make this look authentic.
