Siding — Fiber Cement, LP, Vinyl, Cedar2026-09-11T11:39:00-07:00

Siding that stands up to Whatcom County weather

Fiber cement, LP SmartSide, cedar, and vinyl siding installation across Bellingham and Whatcom County. Weatherproof for Pacific Northwest conditions.

Siding is your home's rain jacket

Siding is what keeps everything inside your walls dry. When it fails — through age, wind damage, or a bad original install — the damage doesn’t stop at the exterior. It gets into sheathing, framing, and eventually interior finishes.

We install siding systems with proper rain-screen detailing, weather-resistive barrier, and flashing at every penetration. Whether you want the low maintenance of fiber cement, the warmth of cedar, or the value of LP SmartSide, the install matters more than the material.

What's included

Fiber Cement

James Hardie and equivalent. 30-50 year lifespan. Fire and rot resistant.

LP SmartSide

Engineered wood siding. Cost-effective and comes pre-primed.

Cedar & Vinyl

Traditional cedar or budget-friendly vinyl options.

What we offer

Fiber Cement (James Hardie) Siding

James Hardie fiber cement is the workhorse siding in Bellingham and across Whatcom County. It handles PNW moisture, resists rot and fire, holds paint for 15-plus years, and comes in lap, panel, and shingle profiles. We install with proper rain-screen furring, backer flashing at butt joints, and a color-matched caulk system.

LP SmartSide

LP SmartSide is engineered wood siding — a good middle-ground for Whatcom County budgets. It’s lighter than fiber cement, comes pre-primed, and installs faster. When it’s flashed and painted correctly it holds up well in our climate.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl remains the most affordable full re-side option. Modern vinyl has come a long way — insulated backers, deeper shadow lines, and better color retention. We install with proper expansion allowance and full flashing behind J-channel.

Cedar Siding

Cedar is the traditional Pacific Northwest siding. Nothing else looks quite like it, and when maintained it lasts for decades. We install clear or knotty cedar in bevel, board-and-batten, and shingle profiles, always over a proper drainage plane.

Siding Repair

Rotted trim, wind-damaged panels, woodpecker holes, sections that were never flashed properly. We repair siding across Bellingham and Whatcom County, matching profiles and paint so the repair blends into the rest of the wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you match the trim style on my existing home?2026-09-09T13:22:44-07:00

Yes. Matching corner boards, window trim, and frieze profiles is part of a good re-side. We show you samples before install.

How much does re-siding cost?2026-09-09T13:22:36-07:00

A typical single-family re-side in Whatcom County runs $22k to $55k depending on size and material. Fiber cement runs higher than vinyl; cedar higher than fiber cement.

What about painting?2026-09-09T13:22:28-07:00

Fiber cement and LP SmartSide come pre-primed and we finish-paint on-site or install pre-finished panels depending on your preference.

Do you re-side over existing siding?2026-09-09T13:22:15-07:00

Only in limited cases. Usually the right call is tear-off, inspection, and starting fresh with proper weather barrier and flashing. Layering over old siding hides problems that show up later.

How long does re-siding a home take?2026-09-09T13:22:07-07:00

A typical single-family home in Whatcom County takes two to four weeks depending on size, existing condition, and material choice.
