Choosing Building Products for Historic Preservation in Maryland
The greater Baltimore area has its share of important historical communities and maintaining their authenticity is important to its residents. Local builder, Mueller Homes, shares how James Hardie siding products help meet the needs of historic preservation with the durability required to last for years to come. “I build homes because I love it,” said Paul Mueller, Jr., President of Mueller Homes Inc. “I mean, I grew up in the industry – been on the jobsite since I was six months old. Some of our subcontractors to this day have known me since I was born. My dad, he’s put in the time over the last 30 years building this business. It’s definitely fun continuing on the legacy of what he’s worked so hard for." "We do build in some historic areas all around the Baltimore metro market. It was uniquely challenging presenting to the historical boards. But using James Hardie we’re able to make these buildings historically accurate, and also have a product that’s going to go the long haul versus using the wood or vinyl product.” “We looked at Hardie siding and knew that this was the product that we needed. It offered the house this look that was something that blended the old with the new,” said homeowner Kelly Doetsch. “James Hardie, to be able to use their product from historical districts to modern houses is a huge tool for us. We’ve used James Hardie for about 20 years now and to be able to continue that for many years to come that’s something to be proud of,” Mueller said.
