The decision to install new siding involves careful consideration of materials, installation techniques, and long-term performance expectations. Our team approaches each project with meticulous attention to detail, recognizing that proper installation determines not only the immediate appearance but also the decades of protection your siding will provide. As a licensed, insured, and GAF-certified contractor, we maintain the highest standards across all our exterior services, treating every home with the same care and precision we would apply to our own families’ properties.
Understanding Modern Siding Materials and Options
Today’s siding market offers an impressive array of materials, each with distinct advantages for different architectural styles and performance requirements. Fiber cement siding has gained tremendous popularity, capturing approximately 21% of the residential siding market due to its exceptional durability and authentic wood grain appearance without the maintenance demands of traditional wood. This engineered material resists rot, insects, and fire while maintaining dimensional stability through temperature extremes. Vinyl siding continues to dominate the market with nearly 30% share, offering cost-effective protection with minimal maintenance requirements and energy-efficient insulated options that can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20%.
We also install engineered wood siding, which combines the natural beauty of wood with enhanced moisture resistance and structural stability. Metal siding options, including aluminum and steel, provide exceptional longevity with some manufacturers offering warranties extending beyond 40 years. Each material requires specific installation techniques and considerations, from proper moisture management systems to thermal expansion allowances, which our experienced installers understand thoroughly.
Our Comprehensive Installation Process
Professional siding installation begins long before the first panel goes up. We start with a thorough inspection of your existing exterior, identifying any underlying issues that could compromise the new siding’s performance. This includes checking for moisture damage, structural concerns, or inadequate insulation that should be addressed during the installation process. Our team carefully removes old siding while preserving architectural details and assessing the condition of the underlying sheathing and weather-resistant barriers.
- Moisture barrier installation: We install high-performance house wrap or weather-resistant barriers that allow walls to breathe while preventing water infiltration
- Flashing integration: Critical areas around windows, doors, and transitions receive properly integrated flashing systems
- Precise panel alignment: Each siding panel is carefully measured and installed to maintain consistent reveals and proper overlap
- Trim and finishing details: Corner posts, J-channels, and decorative elements are installed with precision to ensure weather-tight seals
- Final inspection: We conduct thorough quality checks to verify proper installation and aesthetic excellence
Energy Efficiency and Weather Protection Benefits
Modern siding installation significantly impacts your home’s energy performance and weather resistance. Properly installed siding systems create a continuous thermal envelope that reduces air infiltration, potentially lowering energy costs by 15-25% when combined with adequate insulation. The latest insulated siding options incorporate foam backing that adds R-value while reducing thermal bridging through wall studs. This enhanced insulation particularly benefits homes in Kirkland, Juanita, Redmond, Bellevue, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, & Seattle WA, where seasonal temperature variations demand effective climate control systems.
Weather protection extends beyond simple moisture resistance. Quality siding installation includes proper ventilation strategies that prevent moisture accumulation within wall cavities, protecting your home’s structural integrity for decades. We implement rainscreen principles where appropriate, creating drainage planes that allow any penetrating moisture to escape harmlessly. Our 15-year workmanship warranties and manufacturer-backed product warranties up to 50 years reflect our confidence in these protective systems.
