Premier Home Remodeling Services in Seattle, WA
Seattle weather is hard on siding. Months of rain find every gap around windows and trim, wood siding on the shady side of a house grows moss and rot, and old paint gives up long before the wall behind it does. Be Home Remodeling replaces siding across Seattle and King County: fiber cement lap and shingle siding, vinyl, and cedar for homes that want to keep a natural wood look.
When the old siding comes off we fix what is underneath, from rotted sheathing to missing flashing, so the new exterior keeps water out for years. If you are looking for siding contractors near you, start with a free site visit and a written estimate.
Fiber cement is the siding we install most. It does not rot, insects leave it alone, it does not burn and it holds paint well through wet winters. Vinyl costs the least and never needs paint. Cedar gives the classic Northwest look and needs regular stain or paint to keep it.
A project manager prices your project at a free site visit, and you get a written, itemized estimate. Ask about $0 down financing options. Availability, terms and approval depend on the lender.
Seattle exempts minor repairs and alterations that cost $6,000 or less in any six-month period, so a small siding repair may not need a permit. Any change to the building envelope needs one, and a full re-side usually costs more than that limit. Cities around Seattle set their own rules. We check the rule for your address and file the permit when one is needed.
For most homes, yes. It stands up to rain, does not rot or feed insects and holds paint longer than wood.
Often, yes. Rot tends to start at the bottom of the walls and around windows, and those sections can be replaced and blended in. When the damage is widespread, a full re-side costs less over time.
Vinyl and pre-finished fiber cement come with color. Primed fiber cement and wood need paint, which we can include in the same project.
Old siding often hides water damage around windows, doors and the bottom of the walls. We replace rotted sheathing, add a weather-resistive barrier, flash every opening and leave the clearances that let the wall dry out before the new siding goes on.
Primed fiber cement and trim get painted in the same project, so the house comes out finished. If the roof is near the end of its life too, see our roof replacement page, and our full home remodeling page covers bigger projects.
