Why It Matters
Why Oregon Homeowners
Replace Their Siding
Stop Water Intrusion
Oregon's rainfall is relentless. Failing siding allows moisture behind the wall, leading to rot, mold, and structural damage that's far more expensive to fix.
Protect Your Investment
Your home is your biggest asset. New siding adds curb appeal, increases resale value, and protects the structural integrity of your walls for decades.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Old or damaged siding loses insulation value. New siding with proper house wrap can meaningfully reduce heating and cooling costs.
Eliminate Maintenance Headaches
Rotting wood siding, peeling paint, and warped panels are a constant battle. Modern fiber cement is engineered to last with minimal upkeep.
Our Top Recommendation
James Hardie®
Fiber Cement Siding
James Hardie is the #1 brand of fiber cement siding in North America — and our most recommended product for Oregon homeowners. Their fiber cement products are Engineered for Climate®, meaning they're specifically formulated for the Pacific Northwest's wet, moss-prone environment.
Unlike wood siding, Hardie® fiber cement is noncombustible, resists moisture and rot, and holds no appeal for woodpeckers or termites. Backed by a 30-year non-prorated, transferable substrate warranty — it's the last siding you'll ever need to install.

Factory-Applied Color
ColorPlus® Technology:
Never Paint Your Siding Again
ColorPlus® Technology is James Hardie's factory-applied, baked-on color system — and one of the most compelling reasons to choose Hardie® siding over any alternative. Instead of painting siding on the job site (which begins failing within 5–7 years), ColorPlus® finishes are applied in a controlled factory environment and cured between coats for a finish that lasts dramatically longer.
Factory-Applied & Baked On
ColorPlus® Technology finishes are applied in a controlled factory environment and cured between coats — delivering superior color consistency, adhesion, and durability that field-applied paint simply cannot match.
15-Year Finish Warranty
James Hardie's ColorPlus® Technology comes with a 15-year limited warranty covering paint and labor against peeling, cracking, and chipping. That's real protection, not just a marketing claim.
Resists Fading & Chipping
The multi-coat, baked-on finish is engineered to resist UV fading, moisture-related chipping, and the daily wear that causes field-painted siding to fail within 5–7 years.
19 Statement Collection® Colors
Choose from 19 curated colors including Arctic White, Cobble Stone, Navajo Beige, Timber Bark, Mountain Sage, Boothbay Blue, Deep Ocean, Iron Gray, Midnight Black, Countrylane Red and more — all available in ColorPlus® Technology.
Touch-Up Kits Available
Minor scratches or cuts during installation? James Hardie's ColorPlus® Touch-Up Kits let you address small areas without repainting entire sections — maintaining a flawless finish.
Saves Time & Money Long-Term
No repainting every 5–7 years. ColorPlus® Technology dramatically reduces the lifetime maintenance cost of your siding — a major advantage over primed-for-paint fiber cement or wood.

Cedar Siding & Windows — Portland, OR
Natural Wood Siding
Cedar Siding
Installation & Repair
Western Red Cedar is the classic Pacific Northwest siding choice — naturally beautiful, naturally rot-resistant, and a traditional staple of Oregon homes. No manufactured product fully replicates the authentic warmth and character of real cedar wood grain.
Cedar siding requires regular staining or painting every 5–7 years to maintain its protection and appearance, but many homeowners consider that a worthwhile trade-off for the natural beauty and environmental sustainability of real wood. We install bevel, tongue & groove, shiplap, and board-and-batten cedar profiles.
Steel & Aluminum Panels
Metal Siding
Installation
Steel and aluminum siding panels offer exceptional durability, fire resistance, and a bold modern aesthetic that's increasingly popular for contemporary Oregon homes, shops, and agricultural buildings. Metal siding is virtually maintenance-free and won't rot, warp, or support organic growth.
We install standing seam and corrugated metal siding profiles in a range of colors. Metal siding is an excellent choice when you want a clean industrial or modern farmhouse look with a 40+ year lifespan and near-zero maintenance requirements.
Why Choose Metal Siding?
Longest Lifespan
Steel and aluminum panels routinely last 40–60 years with minimal upkeep — outlasting wood, vinyl, and even most fiber cement products.
Fire Resistant
Metal siding is noncombustible, making it an excellent choice in Oregon's wildfire-adjacent communities and for agricultural or shop buildings.
Zero Organic Growth
Unlike wood or fiber cement, metal siding provides no foothold for moss, algae, or mold — a major advantage in Oregon's wet climate.
Modern Aesthetic
Standing seam and corrugated profiles deliver a clean, contemporary look that pairs beautifully with modern architecture and new construction.
No Full Replacement Needed?
Siding Repair
Services
Not every siding project requires a full replacement. If your siding is mostly sound but has localized damage, a targeted repair may be all you need to restore protection and curb appeal — at a fraction of the cost.
Individual Board Replacement
Cracked, split, or impact-damaged boards replaced with color-matched material — fiber cement, cedar, or vinyl. Seamless repairs that blend with your existing siding.
Rot Repair & Wood Replacement
Oregon's moisture is relentless. We identify and remove rotted wood, treat the underlying structure, and replace with new material to stop moisture intrusion before it spreads.
Re-Caulking & Sealing
Failed caulk around windows, doors, and trim is one of the most common entry points for water. We re-caulk all penetrations with high-quality exterior sealant.
Moisture Damage Assessment
We inspect behind siding at problem areas to assess the extent of any moisture damage — giving you a clear picture of what needs to be fixed before it becomes a major structural issue.
Color-Matched Repairs
We source matching materials and finishes so repairs blend naturally with your existing siding — no obvious patches or mismatched sections.
All Siding Types Serviced
We repair James Hardie fiber cement, cedar, metal, vinyl, and LP SmartSide — whatever siding type you have, we can fix it.

We'll come out, assess your siding, and give you an honest recommendation — free of charge.
