Sacramento, CA – Full Exterior Remodel: James Hardie Siding in Arctic White, Anlin Panoramic Windows & Malibu Sliding Door

In Sacramento, CA, Modern Construction Group finished a complete exterior remodel, working from the wall structure out to the final paint. We installed new OSB sheathing, R-15 wall insulation and a complete James Hardie® siding system. The siding is James Hardie plank in Arctic White and the trim is Cobble Stone, both from the Statement Collection™ with ColorPlus® Technology.

We also installed new Anlin Panoramic windows and an Anlin Malibu sliding glass door with an in-glass pet door, all using the new construction installation method. To finish, we painted the soffits, fascia boards, foundation areas, gutters and downspouts around the entire home.

Project Overview

Location: Sacramento, CA
Siding: James Hardie® plank siding in Arctic White (Statement Collection™)
Trim: James Hardie® trim in Cobble Stone (Statement Collection™)
Finish: ColorPlus® Technology
Wall Prep: New OSB sheathing and R-15 wall insulation
Windows: Anlin Panoramic windows
Patio Door: Anlin Malibu sliding glass door with in-glass pet door
Installation Method: New construction
Painting: Soffits, fascia, foundation areas, gutters and downspouts
Contractor: Modern Construction Group, James Hardie Alliance Select Contractor and Anlin Authorized Dealer

Starting From the Structure: OSB Sheathing & R-15 Insulation

Because the old siding was removed, the walls were open. That gave us the chance to improve what sits behind the new exterior.

New OSB sheathing: a solid, flat base for the siding that also adds strength to the walls
R-15 wall insulation: helps reduce heat transfer through the walls, which matters during Sacramento’s hot summers and cool winters

This kind of upgrade is easiest to do while the walls are open. It helps the home stay comfortable year-round.

Complete James Hardie Siding System

We installed the complete James Hardie system over the new sheathing, following James Hardie installation guidelines. As a James Hardie Alliance Select Contractor, our team follows these standards on every job. Benefits of James Hardie fiber cement siding:

Fire-resistant fiber cement construction
Durability against Sacramento Valley heat, moisture and pests
Low maintenance compared to wood siding
ColorPlus® Technology, a factory-baked finish that resists fading in strong sun

Arctic White & Cobble Stone: Clean, Classic Curb Appeal

The homeowners chose two colors from the Statement Collection™:

Arctic White for the plank siding, a crisp, bright white with a clean, timeless look
Cobble Stone for the trim, a warm neutral that adds definition around the windows, doors and corners

The pairing is fresh and classic, and it goes well with the new windows and painted details.

Anlin Panoramic Windows: New Construction Installation

As an Anlin Authorized Dealer, we installed new Anlin Panoramic windows throughout the home. Since the siding was being replaced anyway, we used the new construction method. The old windows came out down to the framing, and each new window was flashed and sealed directly into the wall system before the siding went on.

Anlin windows are engineered for California’s climate and offer:

Energy-efficient glass for better comfort
Less outside noise
A lifetime warranty with accidental breakage coverage

Anlin Malibu Sliding Glass Door with In-Glass Pet Door

We installed a new Anlin Malibu sliding glass door with an in-glass pet door. The pet door is built into the glass panel, so the family’s pets can go in and out on their own. There’s no need to cut into a wall or add a separate pet door insert.

Exterior Painting: Finishing Every Detail

To tie the whole exterior together, we painted:

Soffits
Fascia boards
Foundation areas
Gutters and downspouts

All of it was painted around the entire home, so every surface looks consistent with the new siding and trim.

The Results

The Sacramento homeowners now have:

A durable James Hardie exterior in Arctic White and Cobble Stone
New OSB sheathing and R-15 insulation behind the siding
Energy-efficient Anlin Panoramic windows
A Malibu sliding door with a built-in pet door
A freshly painted exterior from the roofline down to the foundation

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I add insulation when replacing siding?
Siding replacement is one of the best times to do it. With the walls open, you can upgrade insulation, like the R-15 used here, without disturbing the interior of the home.

Why install windows with new construction methods during a siding project?
When the siding is removed, the windows can be installed down to the framing and properly flashed and sealed into the new wall system. You get a cleaner, more weather-tight result.

Can a sliding glass door have a pet door?
Yes. This project used an Anlin Malibu sliding glass door with an in-glass pet door, built directly into the glass panel.

What is ColorPlus® Technology?
It’s James Hardie’s factory-applied, baked-on finish. It resists fading and gives even color on every board.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second siding project we hired Gary and his team to complete on our farm property. Both projects presented challenges given the type and age of the structures. The first project was a complete residing plus other structural improvements of a manufactured home. This was completed last year. The current project that Gary just finished was the complete residing, OSB install, framing replacement, and window install on the original 1930’s barn. The barn had good bones but was in need of a complete overhaul. The transformation Gary and his team completed on the barn is nothing short of amazing. I have received so many compliments on the transformation.  We are so happy to be able to breathe new life into this structure that has so much history. Gary and his team are truly skilled craftsmen that are hard to find these days. They take pride in their work and the attention to detail is remarkable. I highly recommend Modern Construction Group.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have now used Modern Construction twice, and both experiences have been outstanding. Our first project was a major renovation of our 3,500 sq. ft. home, where they installed James Hardie siding and Milgard windows. We were so pleased with the quality of their work that when we needed new Andersen sliding glass doors installed at our cabin, we didn’t hesitate to call them again. What really sets Modern Construction apart is their communication, attention to detail, and genuine pride in their craftsmanship. They keep you informed throughout the project, show up when expected, and take the time to make sure every detail is done correctly. Their crews are professional, meticulous, and clearly care about the finished product. Finding a contractor you trust enough to hire a second time says a lot. After two very different projects on two different homes, we have been extremely happy with both experiences. We would absolutely use Modern Construction again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a company that truly stands behind its craftsmanship. Five stars without hesitation!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing Modern Construction Group to do the siding and windows replacements on our home was truly the best decision. From quoting to final walk through, we were met with professionalism, respect for us and our property, honesty, and all around goodness. Gary and his team were great pleasure to deal with.

We couldn't be more satisfied and  highly recommend MCG to anyone looking for an honest and quality contractor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There aren’t enough words to adequately express how wonderful Gary Chernyetsky & his team from Modern Construction are! The core of Gary’s credo is to provide the highest quality of work & total customer satisfaction which he proved to us completely. We needed work on our three story house; paint, siding, dry rot work & new windows. We met with Gary one morning & by afternoon we received a quote that was all-encompassing which included detailed description of the scope of work with pictures, description of products to be used & price. His team was polite & extremely hard working from 8am to 5:30 pm six days a week. Work was never delayed because of another customer. We were always treated as a priority. Gary came out everyday to check on work & if we had any questions. If anything was not done to our satisfaction, Gary would see to it that it was changed - without any contention. They also did extra work that was not listed in the scope of work like extra molding or repairs because Gary believes in doing quality work, not what expedient for them. He always puts the customer first. Our house is beautifully done thanks to Modern Construction. Plus Gary will come back six months later to see if all the work is still to our satisfaction!  Modern Construction is a rare company that fulfills their promises, goes above & beyond to please the customer & takes pride in providing the highest quality of work. We can state without reservation that Modern Construction is THE VERY BEST! JUNE 2026 I needed my front door replaced & I went directly to Modern Construction Group because they did such an outstanding work on my house last year. Again, Gary & his team did an excellent & quick job. Gary comes out to the job to check on things & then comes back the next day to make sure we are satisfied-what excellent customer service! Every detail on my front door is perfect. I just love my new front door thanks to Gary & his team. DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE THIS EXCELLENT COMPANY!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Choosing Modern Construction Group, Inc. to have all of my house windows installed was the best decision I made. Gary, the owner was excellent to work with; he came every day to personally supervise the work; to ask my opinion and if there were any concerns. The products he used are top of the line. The workers were totally professional, took great care to protect my floors and furniture and did a great job. Once they were done, my house looked like nothing had happened except that my windows now look fantastic. When I had a question, Gary was available right away and even after they were done with the job, I had something to show him and he came right away. The windows are beautiful and energy efficient, we already feel the difference. I highly recommend Gary and his company, Modern Construction Group, Inc.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my windows replaced by Modern Construction Group, Inc., and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The difference the new windows have made is incredible. We chose windows with sound protection, and the reduction in outside noise and it has exceeded my expectations. (We live next to the Elementary School) The installation team did an outstanding job. They were professional, worked efficiently, and kept the work area clean and organized throughout the entire project. Gary was also excellent to work with. He stayed in constant communication, kept me informed every step of the way, and made sure I understood the process from start to finish. His attention to detail and follow-up gave me complete confidence throughout the project. Another major improvement is the energy efficiency. The new windows have made a tremendous difference in keeping our house cooler, and our air conditioner doesn’t have to run nearly as much as it used to. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with both the installation and the way Modern Construction Group handled the entire project. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality windows and exceptional customer service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be happier with the work completed by Gary and his team at Modern Construction Group. They converted a window into a sliding glass door and replaced our old window-and-slider combination with a beautiful three-panel slider, completely transforming the space. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. Gary took the time to answer all of our questions and helped us choose the right options for our home. The proposal was detailed and easy to understand, and the team kept us informed throughout every stage of the project. Everyone we worked with was professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of our home. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding, and the final result exceeded our expectations. The room feels brighter, more open, and much more connected to our backyard. We constantly receive compliments from family and friends who see the space, and it truly feels like it was always meant to be this way. We are so glad we chose Modern Construction Group and would confidently recommend them to friends, family, and anyone considering a home improvement project. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Gary and his team again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had Modern Construction Group replace 18 windows in our home, install a new patio door, convert one window into a Dutch door, and close up another adjacent window—and the results were outstanding! Everything looks seamless, as if it was part of the original construction. From the initial quote through final payment, communication was consistently prompt, professional, and polite. They took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure they understood exactly what we wanted before moving forward. Gary, who managed the project, was exceptional. He was organized, responsive, and clearly cared about the quality of the work. There was a hiccup with the Dutch door that was initially provided, but Gary handled it masterfully—he went back to the manufacturer and had it replaced quickly and without hassle. That level of accountability made a big difference. He also held a high bar for craftsmanship, even asking workers to redo items that weren’t perfectly executed the first time. All of the subcontractors were efficient, courteous, and respectful of our busy household (including kids and dogs). They worked seamlessly and made sure to clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. You may notice in the photos that some areas around the new installations are not painted—this was our choice, as we decided to handle the painting ourselves to save on cost. That said, they did offer to include painting as part of the project and were happy to quote it. Overall, this was a smooth, stress-free experience with high-quality results. I would highly recommend Modern Construction Group to anyone looking for reliable, detail-oriented professionals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just finished installing 13 Anlin windows and two large sliding doors, and we are thrilled with the quality and craftsmanship of the work. The crew was very polite, professional, and made sure to clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. The communication with Gary, the owner of Modern Construction Group, was amazing from beginning to end. He was attentive, responsive, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. This was a large project that lasted three days, and it was executed with true professionalism and great attention to detail. If I could give 10 stars, they would absolutely deserve it. It was a pleasure doing business with Modern Construction Group, and I will definitely keep them on my list for future projects. For transparency, I am not affiliated with the company in any way — just a very satisfied customer.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Modern Construction replaced all our windows in our home, we had 32 windows and 1 sliding glass door.  We were told it would take 2 days and they completed the job with perfection.  All the workers were very respectful and efficient. I now want to talk about the kind of windows they used.  They use high-end windows by Anlin windows and are amazing.  The founder Gary Chernyetsky was amazing to work with so I will recommend him to anybody that asks about our new windows in the future.
