James Hardie Siding in Sonoma
Sonoma carries a weight Healdsburg doesn't: the Sonoma Plaza, the Mission, and the Bear Flag site make this one of the most historically charged towns in California — and the 2017 Nuns Fire proved the surrounding Valley of the Moon is serious fire terrain. A James Hardie project here is a landmark-fidelity problem on one end of town and a valley-hardening problem on the other.
Near the Plaza, history sets the standard
Homes in and around the historic core answer to a landmark-grade expectation — period exposure, faithful trim, restrained tone, detailed so the result belongs beside genuinely historic fabric. We treat that fidelity as the governing constraint near the Plaza; the durability upgrade has to be the part nobody notices.
Out in the Valley of the Moon, Nuns Fire is the brief
On the vineyard and hillside estates the 2017 Nuns Fire is the relevant memory. There it's Class A board with hardened eaves and vents, composed with Hardie's profile range for the architecture and documented for insurability. Same town, two governing standards — we're explicit about which a given Sonoma property answers to.

FAQ
James Hardie Siding in Sonoma — FAQ
Yes, with period-faithful profiles and trim detailed to a landmark-grade standard. Near the core, historic fidelity governs the spec — we recommend based on the home and its protected context, with the durability kept visually quiet.
Real enough that the 2017 Nuns Fire defines it for valley and hillside estates. Those parcels get Class A board plus hardened eaves and vents, documented for insurability — a different governing standard than the historic core.
On the fire-exposed valley estates, yes — non-combustibility is the deciding factor, delivered with the finish quality and design latitude these properties expect.
