Siding Installation & Replacement in Western Washington
Siding in the Pacific Northwest is a weather system, not a decoration. Wind-driven rain, months of damp, and sun exposure on south walls will find every gap in bad installation. Rotted trim, swollen boards, peeling paint that won't hold, and soft spots around windows are all signs water is getting behind the surface.
We install siding systems designed for this climate — with correct moisture barriers, flashing at every penetration, and clearances that let walls dry out. Done right, new siding transforms how a home looks and cuts exterior maintenance dramatically.
What we offer
Fiber cement (James Hardie)
The workhorse of PNW siding: fire-resistant, rot-proof, holds paint for 10–15 years, and looks like wood. Our most recommended option for Washington homes.
Vinyl siding
Budget-friendly, low-maintenance, and never needs paint. Modern insulated vinyl profiles resist fading and handle our climate well.
Cedar & wood siding
Classic Northwest character. We install and restore cedar lap, shingle, and board-and-batten siding with proper back-priming and stains.
Rot repair & trim
We open walls, replace rotted sheathing and framing, correct the flashing that caused it, and rebuild trim, fascia, and corners.

Siding questions, answered
What is the best siding for Western Washington?
Fiber cement (like James Hardie) is the most popular choice: it resists rot, moss, and fire, handles constant rain, and holds paint well. Vinyl is the budget-friendly low-maintenance option, and cedar offers a classic look at the cost of more upkeep.
How do I know if my siding needs replacing?
Look for soft or swollen boards, peeling paint that returns quickly after repainting, gaps at seams and trim, moss or mold on the surface, and interior signs like stained drywall near windows. Localized rot can often be repaired; widespread failure means replacement.
Can you replace siding in sections?
Yes. A single weather-beaten wall (usually south- or wind-facing) can be replaced on its own. We color-match or use the opportunity to repaint the whole exterior for a uniform look.
