Tucked into the eastern flank of Marin County between Larkspur and Mill Valley, Corte Madera blends bayfront flats along Corte Madera Creek and the tidal marshes with wooded hillside neighborhoods rising toward Christmas Tree Hill and the slopes of Mount Tamalpais. The town’s ranch homes, mid-century moderns, Craftsman bungalows, and shingle-clad hillside houses take a beating from the marine climate: persistent morning fog, salt-laden Bay air, and damp winters drive moisture into wood siding and around aging window frames, while summer sun and wind dry it back out. That constant wet-dry cycle causes peeling paint, warped boards, rot, and drafty, single-pane windows that let the chill and coastal damp inside. Just as important, much of Corte Madera’s wooded terrain sits in a Wildland-Urban Interface where Marin County maps Very High and High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, making the materials on your walls a genuine safety decision.
Heritage Exteriors installs James Hardie fiber cement siding, an engineered, non-combustible cladding that shrugs off Corte Madera’s fog and salt air, resists rot and warping, and carries a Class A fire rating well suited to hillside and WUI properties. We pair it with energy-efficient, dual-pane replacement windows that cut drafts, dampen Highway 101 and neighborhood noise, and hold heat on gray, foggy mornings while blocking summer glare. Whether you own a Christmas Tree Hill cottage, a flatland ranch near the Village or Town Center, or a shingled home up toward the ridgeline, we tailor colors, textures, and trim to fit Corte Madera’s character while delivering a weather-tight, lower-maintenance exterior. Most full re-side projects fall in the $16,000–$30,000 range depending on home size, access, and materials.

Are your windows difficult to operate, showing signs of rot or corrosion, foggy with condensation, or have failing seals that let in drafts? It’s time for an upgrade. Replacing old, inefficient windows provides a host of benefits for Corte Madera homeowners. Our replacement services are focused on:
Many prudent Corte Madera homeowners choose to replace their siding and windows concurrently. This holistic approach offers several key advantages:
We provide a carefully selected range of siding materials chosen for their superior performance, beauty, and suitability for the discerning tastes and extreme environmental demands of Corte Madera.
Fiber cement siding, particularly from industry leader James Hardie, is the premier investment for a Corte Madera home. It is exceptionally resilient and will not rot, warp, or be damaged by pests, making it ideal for the damp conditions found near the bay and local creeks. Critically for homes on the town’s hillsides, its non-combustible nature offers a vital layer of fire protection, providing invaluable peace of mind.
For homeowners seeking a classic aesthetic that complements Corte Madera’s natural surroundings, we offer both traditional wood siding and advanced engineered wood products like LP SmartSide®. This material is specially manufactured with advanced binders and waxes to resist moisture, fungal decay, and impact, providing the authentic look of wood without the high maintenance and vulnerability to the damp climate.
High-quality vinyl siding can be a practical choice for certain applications. It is waterproof, resistant to fading, and extremely low-maintenance. Modern insulated vinyl siding options can further boost energy efficiency, making it a functional and long-lasting choice.
Complementary Exterior UpgradesTo give your home a truly finished and protected look, we also specialize in installing and repairing trim, soffit, and fascia using durable, moisture-resistant composite materials. These elements are essential for protecting your roofline and walls. We also provide professional exterior painting with durable, mildew-resistant formulas and seamless gutter installation to effectively manage winter rains and protect your foundation.
An investment in new siding and windows delivers tangible benefits that enhance your lifestyle and protect your property’s value in the exclusive Corte Madera environment.
This is the paramount benefit for a Corte Madera home. The exterior endures a constant assault from moisture, wind, salt air, and seasonal rains. High-performance, moisture-resistant siding and properly sealed windows with coastal-rated hardware form a formidable barrier against these threats, protecting your home’s structure from rot and decay.
An exterior remodel is one of the most effective ways to elevate your home’s curb appeal and ensure it aligns with the highest architectural standards. In the ultra-competitive Marin County real estate market, a high-quality, architecturally appropriate exterior adds significant value and makes a powerful statement.
For homes in Corte Madera’s hillsides, located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, the threat of wildfire is a primary concern. High-performance, non-combustible siding and properly sealed, dual-pane tempered glass windows form a formidable barrier against these threats, protecting your home, family, and investment.
Upgrading to well-sealed, insulated siding and modern windows can substantially decrease drafts and heat loss, making your home more comfortable and reducing your energy bills. It also creates a quieter, more tranquil indoor environment, significantly improving your quality of life.

We also serve clients throughout the most prestigious communities in Marin County and the Bay Area. If your home is in a neighboring community, please explore our other service area pages:
For homes in damp, salt-air environments like Mariner Cove, material choice is critical. For siding, we strongly recommend James Hardie fiber cement siding due to its superior resistance to moisture, rot, mold, and corrosion. For windows, fiberglass frames paired with stainless steel hardware are the gold standard. Fiberglass is inert and will not absorb moisture or corrode, making it the most durable choice for these conditions.
Yes, absolutely. We have extensive experience preparing and submitting project plans for the Town of Corte Madera’s design review board. We understand the town’s aesthetic, environmental, and safety priorities and will work with you to create a plan that meets all requirements, ensuring a smooth approval process.
Hillside neighborhoods like Christmas Tree Hill are located in a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zone. This means fire-resistant building materials are a critical safety measure. We specialize in “home hardening” and strongly recommend non-combustible Class A fire-rated fiber cement siding and dual-pane tempered glass windows to provide the highest level of protection for your property.
We provide a comprehensive workmanship warranty on every installation, guaranteeing the quality and longevity of our labor. In addition, you will be covered by extensive manufacturer warranties on the premium products we use, such as the 30-year limited warranty offered on most James Hardie siding products. All warranty information will be clearly detailed in your project proposal.

Yes. Corte Madera’s marine layer, damp winters, and salt-laden air off San Francisco Bay push moisture into wood siding and trim, leading to peeling paint, swelling, and rot. Fiber cement siding like James Hardie doesn’t absorb that moisture the way wood does, so it resists warping and decay in Marin’s climate and holds its finish far longer between repaints.
Much of Corte Madera’s wooded hillside terrain lies in the Wildland-Urban Interface, and Marin County maps High and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones on the slopes toward Mount Tamalpais. Non-combustible James Hardie fiber cement carries a Class A fire rating and won’t ignite from radiant heat or embers the way wood siding can. For homes near open space, it’s one of the most meaningful hardening upgrades you can make to your exterior.
Most re-siding and window replacement projects require a building permit from the Town of Corte Madera, and homes in designated fire zones or hillside overlays may face additional requirements. Heritage Exteriors handles the permitting process and builds to current Marin County codes, including any ignition-resistant material standards that apply to your property.
They will. Corte Madera’s foggy, gray mornings pull heat out of homes with old single-pane windows, and traffic from nearby Highway 101 carries into flatland neighborhoods. Dual-pane, energy-efficient replacement windows trap heat, reduce drafts on damp days, and noticeably cut outside noise, making your home more comfortable and lowering heating costs year-round.
Most full re-siding projects in Corte Madera run between $16,000 and $30,000, depending on the size of the home, hillside access, existing wall condition, and the siding and trim you choose. Hillside homes with tricky access or extra prep can sit toward the higher end. We provide a detailed, no-obligation estimate specific to your property before any work begins.
Corte Madera is a mix of mid-century ranch homes on the flats, Craftsman bungalows, and shingled or cottage-style houses up on Christmas Tree Hill and the wooded slopes. We match siding profiles, colors, and trim to each style, whether you want to preserve a classic mid-century look or modernize a hillside home, while upgrading it to fire-smart, fog-resistant materials.
