Siding Replacement near Woodland Primary School

This Woodland home near the Primary School had its original cedar siding installed in the early 1990s. Over three decades of Pacific Northwest weather had taken a toll: paint was peeling in large sheets, several boards had split and warped, and a moisture inspection revealed soft spots where water had been wicking behind the siding into the wall sheathing. The homeowners decided it was time for a durable, low-maintenance upgrade.

We removed all existing cedar siding and discovered that the original house wrap had deteriorated in several areas. Our team installed new HardiWrap weather barrier across the entire exterior before hanging James Hardie HardiePlank lap siding in Arctic White, a fiber cement product that resists rot, woodpeckers, and fire. All window and door trim was replaced with matching HardieTrim, and every joint and penetration received proper backer rod and paintable caulk for a weather-tight seal.

The transformation was dramatic. The clean, bright Arctic White siding gave the home a completely modern look while maintaining its classic neighborhood character. James Hardie products carry a 30-year limited warranty, and the baked-on ColorPlus finish means the homeowners won't need to repaint for at least 15 years. The project was completed in five working days with thorough daily cleanup and a final detail inspection.
