Fiber Cement Home Siding Options
Fiber-cement siding is our #1 choice. It’s low on maintenance and high on versatility, so you can choose from a large range of styles and colors with pre-finished options. Whether a home is Victorian, cottage-style, modern, or any architectural leaning in between, we can guide you through selecting a James Hardie siding that’s a perfect match. Benefits:
- rot-resistant to combat the damp Seattle climate
- five times thicker than typical vinyl siding for extra durability
- non-combustible to prevent fire damage, unlike wood or vinyl
- extends the lifespan of paint by approximately 3-4 times longer than wood
Traditional Cedar
Our second top choice for home siding options, cedar siding is a natural pick. We install #1 grade, “tight knot” cedar with minimized knots and a coating on the backside, making it strong and sleek. “Clear” cedar siding is another option. While tight knot cedar has minimal knots, clear contains none. Clear is considered a high lumber grade, lending exceptional quality. Benefits:
- ages well, even in Pacific Northwest weather
- provides a nature-inspired, traditional exterior look
- available in stain- or paint-grade for customization
Low-Maintenance Vinyl
Vinyl is a popular siding solution that’s received innovative changes throughout the years, including increased energy savings and foam backing insulation. Vinyl siding’s low-maintenance qualities make it great for busy homeowners who don’t want to spend extra time and money maintaining their house. Benefits:
- comes in a wide array of shades and styles
- doesn’t need painting
- more affordable than wood
