Novato sits in northern Marin County, at the top of the San Francisco Bay Area where sheltered valleys meet oak-covered ridgelines and the tidal marshes of the Petaluma River. The climate is Mediterranean — warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters — but Novato’s inland pocket also sees real summer heat alongside the marine fog and salt-laden air that drift in from San Pablo Bay. That mix is hard on exteriors: moisture and fog accelerate wood rot, paint failure, and mildew, while temperature swings between foggy mornings and hot afternoons stress older single-pane windows and aging siding. Just as important, much of Novato’s hillside and open-space edge falls within the Wildland-Urban Interface, so fire-resistant, low-maintenance materials matter as much as curb appeal for neighborhoods from Indian Valley to Bel Marin Keys.
Heritage Exteriors specializes in James Hardie fiber cement siding, which stands up to Novato’s damp coastal air, resists rot and pests, and carries a non-combustible rating well suited to Marin’s WUI fire zones. We pair it with ENERGY STAR-rated, dual-pane windows that cut heat gain on hot inland afternoons, block foggy-morning drafts, and lower cooling and heating bills year-round. Whether you own a mid-century ranch near Hamilton Field, a Craftsman off Grant Avenue, or a newer home in the eastern subdivisions, we help Novato homeowners protect their investment with durable, weather-tight, energy-efficient exteriors.

Many prudent Novato 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 tastes and environmental demands of Novato.
Fiber cement siding, particularly from industry leader James Hardie, is the premier investment for a Novato home. It is exceptionally resilient and will not rot, warp, or be damaged by pests. It holds paint extremely well, resisting fading even under intense summer sun. Critically for homes throughout Novato’s WUI zones, its non-combustible nature offers a vital layer of fire protection.
For homeowners seeking a classic ranch or rustic aesthetic, we offer both traditional wood siding and advanced engineered wood products like LP SmartSide®. This material is specially manufactured to resist moisture, fungal decay, and impact, providing the authentic look of wood with greater durability and lower maintenance.
High-quality vinyl siding is a practical and popular choice in many Novato neighborhoods. It is affordable, waterproof, resistant to fading, and extremely low-maintenance. Modern insulated vinyl siding options can further boost energy efficiency, helping to keep homes cool and comfortable.
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, low-maintenance composite materials. These elements are essential for protecting your roofline and walls. We also provide professional exterior painting with durable, fade-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 Novato environment.
This is a key benefit for a Novato home. The exterior endures intense summer sun, strong afternoon winds, and seasonal rains. High-performance siding and energy-efficient windows form a formidable barrier against these threats, protecting your home’s structure and improving its comfort.
An exterior remodel is one of the most effective ways to elevate your home’s curb appeal. In the competitive Marin County real estate market, a high-quality, attractive exterior adds significant value and makes a powerful first impression.
For the many homes in Novato located within a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zone, the threat of wildfire is a primary concern. High-performance, non-combustible siding and properly sealed, dual-pane tempered glass windows form a critical barrier against embers and radiant heat, protecting your home, family, and investment.
Upgrading to well-sealed, insulated siding and modern ENERGY STAR® windows can substantially decrease drafts and heat transfer. This makes your home more comfortable year-round and can significantly reduce your cooling and heating bills.

For Novato’s sunny and warm climate, materials that resist fading and warping are key. James Hardie fiber cement siding is an excellent choice as it is extremely stable and holds paint very well.

Yes, absolutely. We handle the entire permit process with the City of Novato for our projects. Our team is experienced with local building codes and requirements, ensuring your project is fully compliant and the process is smooth and hassle-free for you.
Many areas in Novato, especially near the surrounding hills and open spaces, are designated as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones. 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.
To combat Novato’s hot summers, we recommend high-performance windows with a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). These are typically ENERGY STAR® rated windows with advanced Low-E coatings that reflect solar heat while allowing visible light to pass through. This can significantly reduce your cooling costs and improve indoor comfort.

Yes, especially if you live near Novato’s hillsides or open-space areas that fall within Marin County’s Wildland-Urban Interface. James Hardie fiber cement is non-combustible and holds up far better than wood in a wildfire-prone zone. It also resists the fog and salt air common across northern Marin, so you get fire safety and coastal durability in one material.
Marine fog and salt-laden air off San Pablo Bay keep exteriors damp, which speeds up wood rot, peeling paint, and mildew. Older wood siding and single-pane windows are especially vulnerable. Fiber cement siding and sealed dual-pane windows resist that moisture far better and need much less upkeep.
Most residing and window-replacement projects in Novato require a permit through the City of Novato’s Community Development Department, and homes in designated Wildland-Urban Interface areas may face additional fire-safe material requirements. If your property is in an HOA or a planned community, you may also need design approval. We handle the permitting process so your project stays compliant with Marin County and city codes.
Definitely. While Novato mornings can be foggy, inland afternoons regularly climb into the 80s and 90s in summer. ENERGY STAR dual-pane windows reduce heat gain and keep interiors comfortable, while insulated fiber cement siding helps stabilize indoor temperatures — lowering cooling costs during those hot stretches.
Most full residing projects in Novato fall in the $16,000 to $30,000 range, depending on home size, the siding profile you choose, and prep work like removing old material or repairing moisture damage. Homes in fire-zone areas that need specific fire-rated products can affect the total. We provide a detailed written estimate after an on-site assessment.
Along with all of Novato and its neighborhoods like Ignacio, Hamilton Field, and Bel Marin Keys, we serve nearby Marin and Sonoma communities including San Rafael, San Anselmo, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Nicasio, and Black Point.
