Understanding Siding Materials and Options
James Hardie siding represents the pinnacle of modern siding technology, combining the authentic look of wood with exceptional durability and minimal maintenance requirements. This fiber cement product resists rot, pests, and fire while maintaining its appearance through decades of exposure to harsh weather conditions. The ColorPlus Technology baked-on finish comes with a 15-year warranty against peeling, chipping, and cracking, ensuring your investment remains protected.
Vinyl siding continues to be a popular choice among homeowners seeking cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. Modern vinyl products feature enhanced thickness, improved color retention, and realistic wood grain textures that elevate your home’s appearance. The material’s inherent resistance to moisture makes it particularly suitable for the Pacific Northwest climate, where rain and humidity pose constant challenges to exterior surfaces.
Wood siding offers timeless appeal and natural beauty that many homeowners find irreplaceable. While requiring more maintenance than synthetic alternatives, properly installed and maintained wood siding can last for generations. We work with premium cedar and other weather-resistant wood species, applying professional installation techniques that maximize longevity and minimize future maintenance needs.
Our Installation Process and Methodology
Every successful siding installation begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your home’s existing structure. We inspect the current siding, sheathing, and house wrap to identify any underlying issues that need addressing before new siding installation. This thorough approach ensures that moisture problems, structural damage, or insulation deficiencies are resolved, creating a solid foundation for your new exterior.
The installation process involves multiple critical steps that our experienced crews execute with precision. First, we carefully remove existing siding while protecting landscaping and outdoor features. Next, we install or repair house wrap and flashing systems that create an effective moisture barrier. Our team then meticulously measures and cuts each siding panel, ensuring proper overlap and alignment that prevents water infiltration while creating seamless visual appeal.
